She Was Told She'd Never Color Hair Again—Now She Leads a Thriving Salon | Emily Climer

What happens when someone tells you you'll never make it in the career you've dreamed about your entire life? Emily Climer knew she wanted to be a hairstylist at just 10 years old. But only months into her career, a salon owner told her she'd never color hair again. Most people would have walked away. Instead, Emily turned that moment into fuel, building a thriving salon, leading a team of more than 80 employees throughout her career, and becoming an educator dedicated to helping others succeed. But this conversation goes far beyond hair. It's about resilience, leadership, grief, entrepreneurship, and learning how to navigate life's highest highs and lowest lows at the exact same time.   What You'll Hear: • The moment a salon owner told Emily she'd never color hair again—and how it changed the trajectory of her career • Why mistakes became one of the core values inside her salon culture • The role mentors, coaches, and community have played in Emily's growth • How she handled losing key employees the day before her wedding • Navigating grief, motherhood, business ownership, and a salon relocation all at the same time • The mindset practices that keep her grounded through uncertainty and challenges • Why tomorrow can always be a fresh start, no matter what happened today   Connect with Emily:  Website: https://aperfecthue.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/emilyclimer/ Salon Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/aperfecthue/   Let's Connect: https://www.instagram.com/kassidylynnesocial
