In this episode of Finding the Balance, Karen O’Donnell sits down with New Hampshire-based cosmetologist and master barber Lacey Jean, owner of Lacey Jean Beauty.
Lacey shares how something as simple as a morning routine—especially taking time for yourself while getting ready—can become a powerful form of self-care. From mindful moments in the shower to the confidence boost of feeling put together, she explains how small daily habits can set the tone for your entire day.
The conversation dives into Lacey’s specialty in curly and textured hair, and how she’s created a safe, welcoming space for clients who may have had difficult salon experiences in the past. She breaks down the importance of communication, education, and trust in building long-term relationships with clients—and why hair care is about so much more than just appearance.
Karen and Lacey also explore entrepreneurship, evolving business models like hourly pricing, and the importance of continuously learning and refining your craft.
This episode is a reminder that self-care doesn’t have to be complicated—it can start with the routines you already have.
