The Modern Hairstylist ™ Podcast

Real Stories of 10k Months, Big Growth & Bigger Confidence — Mastermind Roundtable

Hunter Donia Season 1 Episode 183

In one of the most special episodes we’ve ever done on The Modern Hairstylist Podcast, I’m joined by a powerhouse panel—our Modern Stylist Mastermind cohort. These are not just any beauty professionals. These are the salon owners, estheticians, and stylists who have turned “just doing hair” into running empires.

If you’ve ever felt like you’re too advanced for generic coaching or you’re sick of being the only one giving support instead of receiving it—this one’s for you.

We’re diving deep into what actually changes when you surround yourself with the right people, make bold moves, and receive the mentorship you didn’t even know you needed.

💡 What You’ll Learn

  • Why “booked and busy” isn’t the only definition of success—and what might actually matter more
  • The power of personalized mentorship and micro-accountability in high-level growth
  • How these stylists are making more while working less (we’re talking 10K+ months, baby)
  • Real talk on the emotional shifts: from imposter syndrome to full-on CEO confidence
  • Insights into what makes this mastermind different from anything else out there
  • The real-life breakthroughs that happened during retreats, speaker sessions, and in our Slack DMs

🎯 Why It Matters

Too many stylists hit a plateau and think, “Is this it?” But success isn’t a one-time goal—it’s a constantly evolving journey. And if you don’t change your strategy and support system as you evolve, you risk staying stuck in hustle mode. This episode shows you what’s possible when you create space for advanced growth, real community, and authentic accountability.

👀 Who This Is For

  • Hairstylists ready to evolve from service provider to CEO energy
  • Beauty pros who are already successful but crave a deeper level of support and clarity
  • Independent suite owners, salon leaders, and educators feeling a little too isolated
  • Anyone who’s “been there, done that” with fluffy coaching programs and wants the real deal

🧨 Don’t Miss

There’s a moment where we discuss the concept of Client Concentration Risk—a game-changing lens to evaluate whether your business is actually stable and scalable. Plus, the $45K revelation that had everyone in the room gasping 👀

This isn’t just an episode—it’s a movement. Tune in and get inspired by the real stories, real strategies, and real success redefined.
