From Salon Floors to Global Stages: Alison Rodriguez on Building a Booming Beauty Brand (and Trusting Your Intuition)

Published 6 months, 2 weeks ago
Description

Alison went from doing hair in her mom’s Detroit salon to leading two bustling locations, then pivoted into education and events with Mastermynd Beauty—collaborating with top brands, teaching globally, and even selling her first film concept. She shares the mindset, intuition, and bold action that fueled each leap (including telling her team about selling the salons—against everyone’s advice).

Listen for

  • Accidental leadership → intentional empire: hiring fast, growing teams, and outgrowing spaces—twice.

  • The pivot after a life quake: her husband’s blood-cancer diagnosis, migraines, and re-designing work.

  • Why live events are magic for growth: how one trip or dinner can unlock clients, partners, & stages.

  • Brand partnerships that scale you: KEVIN.MURPHY & ELEVEN Australia—what opens those doors.

  • Intuition over “industry rules”: why she told her team she was selling—and how it changed everything.

  • Manifestation, move-now energy: taking 80% of the action in 24 hours to keep momentum alive.

  • Wild card win: writing a movie concept, producing it with her filmmaker husband, and selling it to Tubi.

  • Mantra: “Hire fast, fire faster.” When to trust your gut on people and opportunities.
