What does it actually take to start a beauty business with no full expert trained experience, no salon suite, and zero roadmap?

In this episode of Between the Laugh Lines, I sit down with a young nail technician who launched her business at a table in her sorority house—and has since built a thriving, consistent service-based beauty business from her parents' home. This is the real story of turning a side skill into sustainable income, one client at a time.

If you've ever wondered how to start a nail business, build a beauty service from scratch, or turn your creative skill into consistent revenue—this conversation breaks it all down without the highlight reel.

What We Cover:

• How to start a nail business with minimal investment
• Building a professional beauty business from unconventional spaces (dorm rooms, home setups)
• The unglamorous truth about early entrepreneurship—imperfect, messy, and real
• How to build client trust, professionalism, and repeat bookings when you're just starting out
• Pricing strategy, boundaries, and confidence for new service providers
• Lessons every entrepreneur needs—whether you're 20 or 40

This episode is for the woman who's tired of waiting for permission, perfection, or the "perfect time" to start. Whether you're launching a nail business, lash business, esthetics practice, or any service-based beauty brand—you'll walk away with practical insight and proof that you can build something meaningful with what you have right now.

Perfect for: aspiring nail techs, beauty entrepreneurs, service-based business owners, women starting side hustles, and anyone building confidence in their craft.

Some people stumble into their calling. Others know it all along.

In this episode of Between the Laugh Lines, I'm candidly speaking with my neighbor, friend and longtime hairstylist Jen for a thoughtful conversation about creativity, intuition, and the quiet knowing that led her into the world of hair. Long before trends, social media, or “career plans,” Jen recognized her strengths and followed them—evolving her craft through determination, curiosity, and hands-on experience.

This Part 1 conversation focuses on the why: how creativity shows up early, how trusting yourself can shape a career, and why hair is often about identity, emotion, and transformation—not just appearance.

✨ In this episode:

• What it feels like to know you’re meant for something

• How creativity evolves when you trust your gut & strengths

• Why hair is deeply personal (and emotional)

• The foundation behind the expertise you’ll hear in Part 2

🎧 Part 2 dives into the how — practical, simplified hair guidance for real life.
