They Didn’t Teach You This in Beauty School

Published on: 8th May, 2025

You learned how to foil, fade, and finesse a flawless blowout — but no one taught you how to think like a business owner.

No one told you how much your mindset — not just your technique — would shape your success behind the chair and online.

In this episode of The Get In My Chair Podcast, Kylie gets real about the mental game of building a beauty business in today’s world. With experience as a certified life & business coach, licensed cosmetologist, and certified social media strategist, she brings a layered, no-fluff perspective to the part of the beauty industry no one’s talking about: your self-concept.

This episode is packed with truth bombs and permission slips — from rethinking old stories about who you are, to realizing you don’t have to think like a man to run a powerful, profitable business. You’ll hear the things we should have learned in school, but didn’t — and what to do about it now.

This is the mindset reset you didn’t know you needed — until now.

📌 In This Episode:

  • Why mindset is 85–90% of your success (and why no one talks about it)
  • The truth about self-concept — and how yours may be silently holding you back
  • The story I had to rewrite in order to get back behind the chair & start building clientele
  • How to start cultivating a business mindset without losing your soul
