The Rebel Show

My first treatment room rental as a solo esthetician was WILD.When I first went solo, I thought my biggest challenge would be finding clients. Instead, I found myself dealing with another renter who seemed determined to make running my business as difficult as possible…and the more time I spent there, the stranger things got.What started with complaints about my clients and a doorbell eventually turned into mediation, cameras, suspicious activity, and a conversation I definitely wasn't supposed to hear.This episode is mostly just for fun 😂 but looking back, those early rental experiences taught me A LOT about choosing the right space for your esthetics business.If you've ever had a treatment room, salon suite, or booth rental horror story, PLEASE tell me yours in the comments. I know I can't be the only one.And if you want an episode about what I would look for BEFORE renting a treatment room today, let me know below!✨ FREE RESOURCES:FREE 6-Week Online Waxing Course:https://training.lashandwaxoc.com/101Find Your Rebel Wax Formula:https://rebel-wax-finder.lovable.app/Join the FREE Rebel Wax Breegade:https://www.skool.com/rebel-wax-breegade/Shop Rebel Wax:https://lashandwaxoc.com/discount/BREE10Code: BREE10Want to get Exciting Updates from Rebel Wax via Email?https://lashandwaxoc.com/pages/join-mailing-listFollow me on Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/breemesquit/#Esthetician #SoloEsthetician #EstheticianBusiness #SalonSuite #WaxingBusiness #RebelWax

You can rank #1 on Google and STILL struggle to turn those searches into actual appointments.In this episode, I'm breaking down something I've been seeing with coaching clients: they're getting visibility, people are finding their business, but somewhere between the Google search and the booking confirmation, they're losing potential clients.We're talking about new client promotions, deposits, requiring a card on file, confusing booking menus, rebooking, and the small barriers that could be costing you new clients.I also explain why I personally don't require deposits or a card on file for first-time waxing clients, why we offer a $35 new-client Brazilian at Rebel Wax Studio, and why I'm willing to accept a few no-shows if it means converting significantly more new clients.My challenge for you: go through your booking process AS A CLIENT. Click every button. Read every service. Look for anything confusing, broken, or unnecessary and then test removing some of that friction for 30 days.Tell me in the comments: Do you currently require a deposit or card on file for new clients?✨ RESOURCESThe booking platform we use at Rebel Wax Studio:GlossGenius:https://app.glossgenius.com/invite/BREANNAM67Get a 14-day free trial with no credit card required + $30 if you activate.FREE 6-Week Online Waxing Course:https://training.lashandwaxoc.com/101Join the FREE Rebel Wax Breegade:https://www.skool.com/rebel-wax-breegade/Shop Rebel Wax:https://lashandwaxoc.com/discount/BREE10Code: BREE10Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/breemesquit/Subscribe for more waxing, marketing, client retention, and esthetician business education.#EstheticianBusiness #WaxingBusiness #EstheticianMarketing #GoogleBusinessProfile #WaxingClients #BeautyBusiness

What actually happens when your beauty business grows big enough for your husband to quit his job and join you full-time?Chance is joining me for this episode to answer the questions you guys sent in after I shared that I “retired my blue-collar husband.”We're talking about how we knew it was time, what our finances and payroll actually look like, how we divided our roles, working together as husband and wife, handling disagreements, and why I DON'T think everyone should try to bring their spouse into their business.Our story definitely didn't happen overnight.We went from struggling to afford groceries and laundromat trips to building Rebel Wax together full-time and there was never some perfect roadmap telling us what to do next.If you're building a beauty business, thinking about working with your spouse, or wondering what's actually possible when you keep growing, I hope our story gives you some perspective.And remember: your journey doesn't need to look like ours to be successful.👇 RESOURCESSHOP REBEL WAX:https://lashandwaxoc.com/discount/BREE10Code: BREE10FREE 6-WEEK ONLINE WAXING COURSE:https://training.lashandwaxoc.com/101JOIN THE FREE REBEL WAX BREEGADE:https://www.skool.com/rebel-wax-breegade/FORMULA FINDER:https://rebel-wax-finder.lovable.app/FOLLOW ME ON INSTAGRAM:https://www.instagram.com/breemesquit/If you're an esthetician who wants to grow your clientele, improve your waxing skills and build a profitable beauty business, subscribe and come hang out with us every week.#Esthetician #BeautyBusiness #WaxingBusiness #Entrepreneurship #RebelWax

Before you post that job listing, there are a few things your business needs to have in place.In this episode of The Rebel Show, I'm answering a question from Megan of Bare Beauty Lounge, who's planning to hire her first employee within the next six months.We're getting into the part of hiring that isn't talked about enough: knowing when you're actually ready.I'm breaking down how I knew it was time to hire at Rebel Wax Studio, how I structure employee pay and commission, where I've found waxers, how I interview candidates, what training looks like, and the hiring mistake I made when I brought on too many people too quickly.We cover:✔️The booking percentage I want to see before hiring✔️Why hiring won't fix a broken business✔️Systems you need before bringing someone onto your team✔️Employee vs. booth rental✔️Part-time vs. full-time employees✔️New graduates vs. experienced waxers✔️Where I find applicants✔️My interview and screening process✔️Why I hire for character over skill✔️How I structure hourly pay + commission✔️Retail commissions and tips✔️How long training should take✔️Who should be responsible for building clientele✔️How to stay profitable while paying employees✔️The biggest mistake I made with my first hiresOne of the biggest lessons I've learned is this:An employee doesn't fix weak systems.
