Building a Luxury Hair Business, Upgrading to Premium Services and Prices, and Taking Global Sabbaticals all while enjoying Love Island w/ Kelly Wood

Episode 11: Show Notes

Our guest today truly believes that to find your “sweet spot” or the thing that will allow you to have that “flow” is to do things your way. Simply copying and pasting won’t rocket you to where you want to go, it might just make you miserable instead. We are thrilled to welcome Kelly Wood; an LA native and third-generation hairstylist known as The Blowout Queen. Kelly has been building her business for over ten years and has grown to premium pricing, allowing her to prepare to take a global sabbatical (in the next year!) Today, we chat about Love Island (UK only!) Season 6; the show has a special place in both our hearts, we also touch on the evolution of Kelly’s pricing and she shares valuable insights on how to increase the prices in your business and discover your true worth as a business owner. Kelly unpacks what she has planned for the future as a business owner and creative and lays out great pieces of advice for budding women, and women of color, entrepreneurs. Thanks for tuning in, enjoy!
