56 - New Salon Energy, Low Tox Hair, & Deeper Connection: Insights from Innersense™ Founders Summit

Grounded Care and the Power of Being SeenJoanne sits down with Ally Salyers, founder of The Ally Hair Bar in Washington, whose journey into hair started unexpectedly but became something deeper rooted in connection and care. After stepping away from the industry for nearly a decade, she returned with renewed purpose, creating a low-tox salon where clients don’t just receive a service—they feel seen. From fostering unexpected friendships between clients to redefining beauty for women who feel invisible as they age, Ally shares how listening—not just styling—became her true “secret sauce.”Expansion, Courage, and Creating Something MoreEmily Sobers, founder of Haven Beauty in Massachusetts, opens up about the moment she almost said no to this conversation—and what shifted when she chose expansion instead. Becoming a mother at 17 shaped her path early, building resilience and a drive to create something meaningful. Now leading a holistic salon rooted in sustainability and community, Emily shares how clean beauty, supporting her team’s well-being, and creating spaces for healing—from scalp care to sound therapy—have redefined success for her.Intuition, Identity, and Letting Hair Be FreeTaylar Pickett, curly hair specialist in Oregon and podcast co-host of Waking Up the Witch, brings an intuitive lens to the beauty industry—one that challenges rules and invites freedom. From leaving misaligned spaces to creating a life rooted in authenticity, Taylar shares how hair reflects identity, energy, and even collective shifts. She has also interviewed Joanne on her podcast Waking Up the Witch, uncovering stories of “little witch” with Joanne that you won’t hear anywhere else. Through it all, Taylar reminds us that hair isn’t meant to be controlled—it’s meant to be nourished, expressed, and lived in.Follow The Ally Bar on InstagramBook an appointment at The Ally Bar in WashingtonFollow Haven Beauty on InstagramBook an appointment at Haven Beauty in MassachusettsFollow Taylar Pickett on InstagramListen to Waking Up the Witch PodcastBook an appointment with Taylar Pickett at the Lovely Hair Lounge in OregonLet’s chat!
