Not every industry leader starts with a grand planā¦
Sometimes it starts with a side hobby, a passion for helping people and the courage to follow a path nobody else can see yet š
In Episode 5 of Unfiltered, I sat down with the incredible Simone, an award winning hair loss specialist, educator and six figure business owner who has completely carved out her own lane within the industry.
What I found fascinating about Simoneās journey is that she didnāt just build a business.
She identified a problem, found a better solution and went on to create her own signature method that is now helping both clients and students achieve incredible results.
During this 45 minute conversation, we discuss:
ā How Simone transitioned from hair extensions into hair lossāØā The moment she spotted a gap in the marketāØā Why specialising became the biggest turning point in her businessāØā Building a six-figure business through expertise, not trendsāØā Creating the Flat Line Finish Methodā¢āØā The lessons sheās learned throughout her entrepreneurial journeyāØā Her vision for the future of education within the hair loss industry
This conversation is packed with insight for any business owner who feels torn between doing everything and becoming known for something.
Because sometimes the biggest growth happens when you stop trying to be everything to everyone and start mastering what you do best.
Whether youāre in hair, beauty, aesthetics or any service based business, there is so much value in this conversation.

Thereās a side of the hair industry that most people never see and this conversation is going to open some eyes š
For episode 5 of UNFILTERED, Iām joined by the incredible Simone, founder of Hair Finesse Academy and a multi award winning hair loss specialist šš¼
What started as a career in hair extensions quickly became something much bigger when Simone recognised a huge gap in the industry for women experiencing hair loss.
After seeing outdated techniques, poor client experiences and the damage caused by poorly fitted systems, she knew something had to change.
Fast forward to today and she has built a six figure specialist business, with clients travelling from across the UK, whilst also training other stylists through her academy and signature Flatline Finish⢠method šš¼
Weāre talking:āØš¤ Building a specialist business in a saturated industryāØš¤ The reality of working with women experiencing hair lossāØš¤ Finding your niche and becoming known for itāØš¤ Creating a six figure business through specialism rather than volumeāØš¤ Moving from stylist to educator and academy ownerāØš¤ The lessons, challenges and mindset shifts behind the growth
This conversation is going to be honest, inspiring and completely UNFILTERED.

The 2am ChatGPT searches trying to āfixā your businessš¤¢
Because your diary has gaps.āØBookings feel inconsistent.āØAnd now youāre laying awake questioning everything.
So you start:āØā Changing your packages againāØā Lowering your pricesāØā Trying every Instagram trend you seeāØā Posting more content hoping SOMETHING finally works
Meanwhile youāre exhausted, overwhelmed and wondering why other beauty businesses seem to be growing so much faster than yours.
But hereās the truth nobody wants to hear šš¼
A trending reel is not going to fix a business that has no real strategy behind it.
You donāt just need ābetter contentā.
āØYou need:āØāØ StrategyāØāØ PositioningāØāØ ContentāØāØ Systems

One thing about meā¦āØWhen I work with my clients, I genuinely care about their businesses like they are my own š¤
Standing beside Toni at her clinic opening honestly felt like a full circle moment š„¹
Iāve known her since the makeup artist days, then trained with her myself in beauty and now seeing her open the doors to her own clinic after everything sheās worked for is just incredible.
When you work closely with someone, you donāt just see the polished moments online.āØYou see the pressure, the sacrifices, the self doubt, the long hours and the amount of work that happens behind the scenes to build something successful.
Which is exactly why moments like this mean so much.
Watching her grow from one stage of the industry to the next and build such an incredible brand has been amazing to witness and I honestly could not be prouder š«¶š¼
This is why I do what I do.āØI become heavily invested in my clients goals, growth and vision because I truly want to see them win.
And Toniā¦āØThis is only the beginning for you š„

This might be a little uncomfortable to hearā¦
But most beauty & aesthetic business owners arenāt struggling because theyāre not posting enough.
Theyāre struggling because thereās no real strategy behind what theyāre doing š±
So content starts feeling overwhelming. You overthink it, try to stay consistent, post because you know you āshouldā⦠but it still doesnāt feel like itās actually moving your business forward.
And I get it, because I see this all the time.
Youāre showing up, putting the effort in, trying to do all the right things⦠but still not seeing the level of clients or growth you actually want š
Because growth doesnāt come from doing more. It comes from doing the right things, in the right order.
Thatās exactly what the CEO Shift Method⢠is built around
ā Strategy āØā Positioning āØā Content āØā Systems
If this feels familiarā¦āØthis is exactly what I help beauty & aesthetic business owners fix š¤
DM me āSHIFTā and letās explore what this could look like for your business š¬
You thought it was about posting more but reallyā¦
Itās about posting with purpose šÆ
Because clients arenāt just scrolling for a service, theyāre looking for someone who GETS them.
If your content isnāt
- Speaking directly to your ideal client
- Showing the transformation
- Making them feel understood
Theyāre not going to choose you.
Not because youāre not good enough but because youāre not giving them a reason to.
This is where strategy changes everything š§
When your messaging is clear, your content connects and your profile actually guides people to hook.
Client attraction stops feeling forced and starts happening naturallyā¦
And thatās when everything CLICKS šš¼

Chinese new year isnāt just a dateā¦
Itās an energetic reset š„š“
Today Iām moving slowly.
Setting intentions instead of rushing.
Choosing alignment over force.
This fire horse year is about bold movement but only when itās guided by clarity, disabling and purpose.
Things not to do today:
- No washing or cutting hair - preserving energy
- No deep cleaning - rest before expansion
- No unnecessary spending - only international purchases
- No arguments or heavy conversations - peace in non negotiable
- No overthinking - intuition leads today
What I am doing:
- Being grateful
- Staying calm and present
- Treating myself
- Calling in prosperity, harmony and growth
This year isnāt about doing more.
Itās about moving smarter.
Aligned CEO energy only š„š“
