Emotional discounting is a concept that I’ve come to understand deeply through my journey as an independent hairstylist and educator. At its core, it’s about the value we place on our services and how our emotions can lead us to undervalue them. In the world of hairstyling, where our work is not just a service but an art, recognizing the worth of what we do is crucial.
Many of us, especially when we’re just starting out or during challenging times, might feel the urge to lower our prices in hopes of attracting more clients. It’s a natural response, driven by fear or uncertainty, but it’s important to remember the years of training, practice, and passion that have gone into honing our craft. Emotional discounting can shortchange not only ourselves but also the perception of your profession.
🔹 Instead, I encourage focusing on the value you bring to every client who sits in our chair. It’s not just about the haircut or color; it’s the experience, the confidence boost, and the personal connection. By educating your clients about what goes into our work-the training, the quality products, and the creative process-they can begin to appreciate the true value of our services.
🔹 Building a successful career as an independent hairstylist isn’t just about skill; it’s also about business acumen. Learning to set fair prices that reflect the quality of your work and your expertise is key.
So, to my fellow stylists, remember: your work is valuable, and emotional discounting doesn’t have to be part of your story. Stand confident in your prices and the exceptional experiences you offer. After all, you’re not just providing a service; you’re enriching lives, one hairstyle at a time.

Hey it's me, Samantha! I am a course creator, salon owner, stylist, mom & wife.
And LISTEN GIRL, I GET IT. A lot of hairstylists shy away from numbers.
We spend so much time being artists, that we’re not aware of what comes in and what goes out. But we need to know how to do the numbers better if we want to have a thriving, successful business.
And that’s why I started A Wealthy Hairstylist.
To help stylists like you achieve more wealth by becoming financially savvy and ultimately more profitable. As hairstylists, we aren't taught how to measure profitability or track our growth, so we don’t know where we’ve been and where we are now. And I think that’s ridiculous. It’s time to learn those skills so we can create long-term wealth, feel confident in our financials, and craft a business we love.
Let’s get you started on your journey to wealth today.
