The Elevate Podcast

Choosing a salon is one of the biggest decisions you'll make in your career, yet it's also one of the least understood. Too many stylists accept a position because the salon looks beautiful, their friends work there, or the commission percentage sounds appealing without asking the questions that truly determine their long-term success. In this episode, I break down how to reverse engineer your car...

I recently made the decision to let go of my salon suites—and contrary to what many people expected, it wasn't a difficult decision at all. In this episode, I'm sharing the real reasons behind the choice, how I evaluated the numbers, weighed the stress, and looked at the true growth potential of the opportunity. I also dive into one of the biggest traps entrepreneurs face: allowing ego to influenc...

This episode breaks down the truth most people avoid. Growth and leadership have nothing to do with what’s happening around you and everything to do with what you’re willing to take responsibility for. When you stop blaming your team, your clients, your circumstances, and your past, you step into real power. In this episode, we go beyond surface level mindset work and into the spiritual side of pe...

The beauty industry is facing a major shift and most people are not fully understanding what is happening. Federal changes to student loan accountability are putting pressure on beauty schools to prove their graduates can actually earn enough to justify the cost of education. At the same time, apprenticeship programs are being pushed forward as an alternative, especially in Illinois. But what does...

If your books aren’t full, it’s probably not a marketing problem. It’s a retention problem. In this episode, I’m breaking down exactly what we’re implementing inside my salon to increase client retention, grow average tickets, and create consistent, predictable income behind the chair. We’re talking about strategic add on messaging at the beginning of the week, how to structure your first, second,...

Most salon owners think their team isn’t motivated. But the truth is it’s not a motivation problem it’s a systems problem. In this episode, I’m breaking down exactly why quarterly bonuses work and how they completely shift behavior inside your salon when they’re structured the right way. I’m sharing how I’m coaching my team to actually build their books instead of just throwing ideas at them, how...

What actually separates an average salon from one clients rave about, return to, and refer nonstop? It’s not just talent. It’s the experience. In this episode, I’m giving you a real behind the scenes look at the client experience training we’re implementing inside my salon. This is the exact kind of training that shifts a team from just doing hair to creating moments that build loyalty, trust, and...

What does your next top stylist actually look like? Not on paper. Not in a résumé. But in mindset, behavior, and how they show up before they ever become “successful.” In this episode, I sit down with one of my newer stylists who I already know is going to rise to the top. Not because of time behind the chair, but because of how she thinks, how she moves, and how she takes ownership of her growth....

If you want to improve your salon culture, increase stylist retention, and become a stronger leader, you do not need a massive leadership overhaul. Most leadership transformation happens through small behavioral shifts that compound over time. In this episode, Patricia breaks down seven simple leadership habits you can start implementing today that will dramatically improve communication, trust, a...
