It’s no secret Hairstylists have the best job in the world. The ability to make connections with different people, make people feel beautiful, and transform others lives. But sometimes we forget to take care of ourselves, set aside time to work on our business not just in it, and take a moment to appreciate the amazing industry we get to be apart of every single day.
My name is Samantha Lacoste and I am a hairstylist, salon owner & educator and I’m so excited that you are here to stay inspired and grow from some amazing people in our industry and I’ll let you in on a secret, you might just find out that you are not alone! We are all all human and have so much more to learn in this thing called life. Welcome to The Secret Life of a Hairstylist.

Part 2: Stephanie Russell on leading different generations in the workplace
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
What if everything you assume about Gen Z's work ethic is wrong?
In part two of this conversation, Stephanie Russell returns to unpack leading different generations in the salon industry. -
- Why younger stylists aren't lacking work ethic so much as missing specific skills shaped by growing up through COVID
- Why older generations were once accused of the exact same thing.
Stephanie makes the case for salon owners to move from "survival of the fittest," tossing new stylists in and hoping they figure it out, to "survival of the nurtured"; coaching, up-skilling, and mentoring the next generation before the industry loses them to one of the highest attrition rates of any field.
This is part two of a two-part conversation. Make sure to listen to Part One on mental health in the salon industry.
