Kayla didn’t grow her salon because everything went right.
She grew it while everything was falling apart.
Ever feel like your team is slipping through your fingers just when you need them most? That was Kayla Carlton’s reality. From losing staff during maternity leave to stepping back into a business full of uncertainty, she faced the kind of challenges that would make most salon owners freeze.
But Kayla didn’t just survive, she rebuilt. 

With the right systems, leadership strategies and mindset shifts, she transformed her salon into a thriving, organised space where her team thrives, clients rebook consistently and her business hits record months.
In this episode, we dive into Kayla’s journey of heartbreak, resilience and ultimate triumph. Learn how she:
Navigated losing key staff while juggling maternity leave
Implemented systems that keep her salon running smoothly
Built a team she can truly rely on, while still loving the treatments she does
Whether you’re struggling with staff retention, scaling your salon, or trying to reclaim balance as a salon owner, Kayla’s story is a masterclass in leadership, strategy, and building a team that sticks.
Fast forward to now, KS Beauty is having its biggest months ever, with stronger retention, a supported team and a business that runs without constant stress.
If you’re tired of holding everything together alone, this episode will feel like someone finally understands what you’re carrying.

Can I be honest for a sec?
If you don’t plan 2026, it will plan you.
And spoiler: chaos usually wins.
 
In the latest episode of the Beauty Business School Podcast, I’m walking you through exactly how to map out your year so you’re not:

❌ Throwing random specials at the wall
❌ Posting content with no direction
❌ Wondering why everyone else seems “luckier” than you

This episode is your roadmap for:
✨ planning your entire year by quarters
✨ choosing only FOUR specials (yes, that’s it)
✨ creating visibility without burning out
✨ setting goals that actually convert into money
✨ stepping into the CEO version of you (not the overworked technician)
 
Grab a pen. Pause when you need to. Download your FREE planner HERE

It’s strategic, practical, slightly unhinged (you’re welcome) and honestly one of the most important episodes I’ve recorded.

Where should your education budget actually go?
 
Every January we start planning…
What courses we’ll do.
What conferences we’ll attend.
What education we’ll invest in.
 
But not all education is created equal and not all of it deserves a spot in your budget.
 
In this episode, I’m joined by Tiarne McKew from The Lash Summit to break down how to assess education properly (beyond certificates or hype) and how to think about ROI in a way that actually supports business growth.
 
We cover:
🌸 How to tell if an event or course is actually worth your money
🌸 What ROI in education really looks like (and what it doesn’t)
🌸 Why some rooms create real opportunities — and others don’t
🌸 How to stop investing in education you never implement
🌸 How to make smarter, more intentional decisions with your education budget

We also accidentally touch on socials along the way.. because let’s be honest, it all connects.
