## Resource

In today’s episode, I sit down with New York stylist Amanda Hyson for an honest, no sugarcoating conversation about the real cost of doing hair. We break down price shaming vs price transparency, why pricing models have changed, and what clients do not see behind the chair. Education, tools, product inflation, policies, and physical wear on the body all factor into the price. Amanda shares her journey from beauty school to booth rent, how social media became a second job, and the moment she finally charged what her work was worth. This episode is for stylists who feel the pressure and for clients who want to better understand what they are really paying for.
