The Station is the podcast for commission-based salon and spa owners who are done being the busiest one in the building.
If you’re still stuck behind the chair, running on fumes, barely paying yourself, and wondering how the hell this became your life, listen up. It’s not you. It’s the business model. And it’s time for a serious upgrade.
Hosted by business coach and former stylist Brie, this show delivers real stories from owners who’ve done the messy work of transformation—plus the exact strategies that helped them go from overwhelmed to in control.
We talk team drama, turnover, burnout, broken systems—everything beauty school didn’t cover.
You’ve built a station where others thrive. Now it’s time to build one for you.
