Secrets to a Thriving Salon Business—What Billie J. Ross Knows

Описание: Welcome to a brand new season of Minding My Creative Business! In this episode, hosts ShySpeaks and Ron "iRonic" Lee Jr. dive into a side of creativity we haven’t explored before: hair styling as a creative business! They sit down with Billy J. Ross—aka the Salon Success Coach—a trailblazing stylist and entrepreneur who has grown her business from the ground up for over 16 years.

Billy shares her journey from working out of her home as a teen, to building a thriving salon, to now coaching other stylists on creating systems, structure, and strategy for consistent, scalable success. She opens up about overcoming doubt, developing confidence in her unique approach, and the power of defining your niche—even before you realize you have one.

Listeners will learn how Billy turns her client experiences into a repeatable system, why she believes in qualifying both clients and coaching students, and how social media supercharged her business (and can do the same for you). Plus, you’ll get insights into managing a salon, building strong team culture, and launching digital products to create multiple streams of income—all from one creative passion.
Whether you’re a hair stylist, a creative entrepreneur, or looking for inspiration to turn your creative talents into a thriving business, this episode is packed with actionable gems and encouragement. Get ready to rethink what it means to “mind your creative business”—because as Billy proves, creativity, intention, and structure can change everything!
