138: Modern Branding for the Next Era of Beauty Businesses with Sydnee McGee
Feb 10, 2026
Season 4
Episode 138
Erica Schramm | Social Media Management Agency for Salons and Beauty Professionals
Why do some lash artists charge premium prices and attract dream clients while others struggle to stand out even with amazing skills? In this episode, I sit down with Sydnee McGee, an educator and business coach, to talk all about branding for beauty professionals. We dive into why visual branding matters beyond just pretty Instagram feeds, and Sydnee shares the exact strategies she uses to help lash artists differentiate themselves in a saturated market.
Sydnee breaks down the practical steps you can take right now to elevate your brand, common mistakes most of us make when starting out and why copying your favorite lash influencer's aesthetic is actually hiding you instead of helping you shine. This episode is packed with actionable tips that'll help you position yourself as the go-to expert in your area.
What you'll learn in this episode:
- What are the three non-negotiable components every beauty business needs for a cohesive visual brand kit?
- Why branding matters long-term (even if you've built a successful business without it)
- What are brand archetypes and how can they help you attract your ideal clients instead of just more clients?
- The biggest branding mistake that's secretly making your life harder instead of easier
- How you can stand out visually in a saturated market without reinventing the wheel
