40| The Three Lies Hair Stylists Tell Themselves and How to Stop believing Them
from Cutting Through It | Hair Stylists, Clientele, Income, Salon, Cosmetologist · host Sherri Brodie | Hairstylist, Business Coach
Have you ever caught yourself thinking... "I'm not good enough." "Everyone else is doing better than me." "Maybe I made the wrong decision." If so, you're not alone. As hairstylists, the hardest conversations we often have aren't with our clients. They're the conversations we have with ourselves. In this episode, I'm sharing three of the biggest lies I see hairstylists tell themselves and, more importantly, how to replace them with thoughts that build confidence instead of tearing it down. We'll talk about why learning your craft feels uncomfortable, how comparison steals your confidence, and what to do when you start questioning whether you're really cut out for this career. If you've been feeling discouraged, overwhelmed, or stuck, this episode is here to remind you that your current circumstances don't define your future. In this episode, you'll learn: • Why feeling uncomfortable doesn't mean you're failing • How to stop comparing yourself to other hairstylists • Why your mindset matters just as much as your technical skills • Practical ways to change your self talk and build confidence • How to stop questioning yourself and start creating a plan for success If you enjoyed this episode, here are a few more conversations I think you'll love: #21-Why Hairstylist Think about Quitting and What Most Don't See Yet #18- Emotionally Drained behind the Chair?
