Everyone loves the idea of having a team… until they actually have one. When I hired my first assistant at 23, I thought it would make my life easier… instead, it made me a better leader. It gave my body a break, but not my mind.
“New level, new devil. New opportunities come with new challenges.”
Fantasy vs. Reality
We all think once we hire, everything will get easier. But in reality, chaos comes first. You go from working in the business to growing people.
Assistants: The Most Misunderstood Role
Assistants aren’t “help.” They’re our right hand, our Co-Stylists, our future leaders. When you hire out of desperation, you create misalignment not culture.
“You can’t lead people until you’ve learned how to train them.”
The Hard Truths
You’ll be the bad guy sometimes. You’ll lose sleep. You’ll care more than they do. But every tough moment shapes you into the kind of leader your team deserves.
“If you avoid confrontation to keep the peace, you’ll start a war inside yourself.”
Why We Do It
Because it’s worth it, the lightbulb moments, the growth, the legacy. Leadership stretches you. It’s hard as hell, but it’s the most meaningful work you’ll ever do.

Tired of holiday promos that flop or feel forced? In this episode, Lacey shares the story behind Salon Lace’s most successful holiday promotion ever - Luck of the Draw. It boosted retail sales, built team momentum, and turned the salon into a place of pure excitement all month long.
1. The Concept:
Every guest drew a card when they walked in- and their discount depended on it:
2–10 = 15% off, Face cards = 20%, Ace = 25%, Joker = BOGO.
Once guests held that discount in their hand, they couldn’t resist stocking up.
2. The Team Incentive:
Stylists kept the cards from guests who purchased retail and built poker hands throughout the week.
Best 5-card hand won prizes - everything from gift cards to a Redken Symposium ticket.
3. The Vibe:
Poker decorations, upbeat music, and cards taped to mirrors the whole salon came alive.
“Don’t just decorate your salon - activate it. The energy should hit your guests the second they walk in.”
4. Why It Worked:
Created momentum and competition
Boosted sales instantly
Strengthened salon culture
Don’t overcomplicate your holiday marketing. All you need is creativity, a competitive twist, and a team that’s excited to play the game.
We’ve got you covered -grab a peek at our Luck of the Draw Inspiration Folder 👉🏼 https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1PLE9q1gYl_x661RrOzUC8JR806cEjjmJ?usp=sharing

“Am I too intense? Do I expect too much? Am I the problem?”
If you’ve ever asked yourself those questions, you’re not alone.
In today’s episode, I’m pulling back the curtain on a conversation that so many salon owners are having behind closed doors. Maybe you’ve had a stylist say, “This job is too mentally taxing.” Maybe a team member made you feel like your standards are “too much.” And maybe, just maybe, you’ve found yourself softening your expectations out of guilt.
I get it. I’ve been there. I even had one of my own leaders tell me that everything we were doing inside Salon Lace, one-on-ones, assistant classes, extension training, photoshoots, retreats, train-the-trainers was “TOO MUCH.” And I’ll be honest, for a moment, it made me want to shrink back and do nothing at all.
But here’s the truth: high expectations are not a weakness. They’re a leadership strength when they’re clearly communicated.
What You’ll Learn in This Episode:
✨ Why guilt creeps in when your team pushes back, and how to stop doubting yourself.
✨ The difference between a wrong fit and a right fit (and why the wrong ones will always call your standards “too much”).
✨ Why lowering expectations doesn’t protect your salon, it destroys your culture.
✨ The balance of grace: how to show compassion without lowering your standards.
✨ How to set crystal-clear expectations from Day 1 so your team knows exactly how to rise to the bar.
Here’s the reframe: it’s not about lowering the bar. It’s about finding people who are willing and excited to rise to it.
Because the right people? They’ll call your standards home.
This week, I want you to audit your expectations.
Where have you lowered the bar out of guilt? And how can you reset it clearly with your team?
Need help creating those expectations?

If you avoid conflict to keep the peace, you start a war inside yourself...
Sit with that for a second.
In this episode, I’m diving into one of the toughest, but most necessary parts of salon life: conflict. We’re talking about why so many stylists bounce at the first sign of tension, why it’s destroying salon culture, and how you can start repairing instead of replacing.
I’ll share personal stories from my own leadership journey (yep, the messy conversations I wish I didn’t have to have), plus practical tools you can use to face conflict without blowing up relationships. By the end, you’ll walk away with a simple framework that works in any salon conversation owner to stylist, stylist to stylist, or anywhere in between.
Here’s what you’ll learn in this episode:
Why “cancelled culture” is killing growth in salons and shortening careers.
The mindset shift from replace to repair and why it multiplies trust.
The REPAIR framework: six steps to navigate tough conversations.
Team agreements that keep culture strong (and prevent ghosting + gossip).
The difference between protecting your peace and canceling conflict.
How to coach yourself and your team to handle conflict with confidence.
Conflict avoided becomes conflict compounded. Conflict processed becomes trust deposited.
If you’ve been peace-keeping to avoid a scene, it’s costing you more than you think. This is your challenge: water your own grass. Have the hard conversation. Growth is on the other side.
👉🏼 Tune in now to hear why cancel culture doesn’t belong in your salon and how to start building a culture of repair instead of replacement.

Back in 2020 when we switched to a rental/hybrid model, I made a big mistake: I brought in renters from other salons who weren’t aligned with our culture. They were talented, sure… but they didn’t know our systems, our standards, or the “Salon Lace way.” And honestly? That was on me.
That’s when I realized: chair rental without structure = chaos.
In this episode, I’m sharing how we turned things around and why, at Salon Lace, the cost of admission is simple, every renter goes through our Assistant Program. It protects our culture, sets clear expectations, creates consistency for guests, and builds a team that feels connected (even in a rental model).
We’ll also talk about what to do with experienced stylists, how to market chair rental the right way, and why your culture is the real selling point.
🎧 Tune in to learn how to protect your culture, avoid the chaos, and build something lasting.

Minimum wage in Oklahoma has been $7.25 since 2009 and for years that’s exactly what I paid my assistants. Later, I raised it to $10 an hour… and nothing changed. So why do salon owners feel pressured to pay assistants “well above” minimum wage?
In this episode, I’m sharing the pros, cons, and my perspective on paying assistants minimum wage, how to set pay based on your numbers (not guilt), and why your culture and education matter far more than the hourly rate.
What You’ll Learn:
Key Takeaway
Assistants don’t join your team for a paycheck, they join for your leadership, culture, and training. Build a program so clear and valuable that growth opportunities, not just wages, make them feel invested.

Most salon owners hold onto tasks way too long, thinking they’re saving money or staying in control. The truth? That mindset keeps you stuck, burnt out, and blocks your growth.

Sometimes leadership comes with tough choices, and yes, that includes hitting “mute” or “unfollow” on social media when a team member leaves your salon. In this episode, I’m getting real about why protecting your energy isn’t pettiness- it’s self-care, boundaries, and emotional maturity.
If you’ve ever felt that gut-punch when someone moves on from your team, this episode gives you permission to do what’s best for YOU while continuing to grow as a leader.
What You’ll Learn in This Episode:
Why I mute or unfollow former team members: Protecting your energy isn’t about bitterness it’s about healing and growth.
How to handle the emotions: It’s okay to hurt, but still do what’s best for your mental and emotional health.
Boundaries as self-respect: Social media doesn’t need to control your peace.
The truth about social media vs. real life: Seeing every move someone makes doesn’t mean it serves you.
Permission to take intentional space: This isn’t permanent- do what’s right for you without explanations.
This isn’t about pettiness- it’s about presence, purpose, and peace. Your role as a leader is to stay grounded. Sometimes that means stepping back and putting yourself first. Mute the noise, protect your peace, and never apologize for doing what keeps your heart steady and your eyes forward.

We’re switching gears this week, friends… because sometimes you just need a good laugh (and maybe a leadership reminder snuck in at the end).
In this episode, I’m spilling the tea on the most outrageous, did-that-really-just-happen wardrobe disasters from behind the chair, mine, my team’s, and even my students’. We’re talking:
The Great Sticky Boob Slip of 2018 – when your “support system” abandons you mid-appointment and suction cups itself to the salon mat in front of your guest.
Ripped & Exposed – the day a pair of pants decided to give up on life in the middle of a service.
The Bebe Breakdown – a jumpsuit, no underwear, and a full crack-to-collarbone rip (plus a heroic husband with a needle and thread).
You will laugh. You will cringe. You will never look at your backup outfit stash the same way again.
But don’t worry this isn’t all chaos. I’m also sharing:
✅ What to do in the moment when a team member has a wardrobe malfunction.
✅ Why your dress code policy matters for your brand.
✅ A ready-to-use script for having those sometimes awkward dress code conversations.
Because yes, you can laugh until you cry and still lead like a pro.
💡 Key Takeaway: What you permit, you promote. Your team’s wardrobe matters for your culture and your brand—so keep it classy (or at least keep it covered).

Are you constantly signing up for courses, masterminds, or memberships… but nothing is actually changing in your business?
In this episode, I’m calling out the Serial Signer-Uppers, the stylists and salon owners who are stuck in a never-ending season of “yes.” You know the drill: you sign up for the thing, download the workbook, watch a few trainings… and then it collects digital dust. 😵💫
Here is the truth: education without implementation is just a cute distraction.
You’re buying the planner but not planning.
You’re getting the guide but not taking action.
You’re showing up for every class but still feeling stuck.
Here’s the truth no one wants to say out loud:
Over-consuming education is keeping you overwhelmed and under-performing.
You don’t need more strategies. You need structure. You don’t need more info. You need to finish what you started.
In this episode, we’ll dive into:
Why emotional buying leads to educational burnout 💸
The danger of always living in a “season of yes”
How a season of no can skyrocket your business growth
The questions you must ask yourself:
👉🏼 Are you collecting or creating?
👉🏼 Consuming or committing?
👉🏼 Watching others or working on your own business?
If you’ve ever said, “I’m such a serial signer-upper” this one’s for you. We’re talking tough love, powerful mindset shifts, and a big ol’ permission slip to slow down and implement.
Your next breakthrough isn’t in the next course.
It’s in finally applying what you already have.
Let’s talk about it.

If you’ve ever thought, “I want help… but I’m scared,” this episode is for you.
Hiring an assistant is one of the biggest decisions you’ll make behind the chair — and the fear that comes with it is real.

“What if I pour into them and they leave?”

“I don’t know if I can afford it.”
Why assistants aren’t an expense — they’re the key to scaling.

Why confidence is contagious and how to bring your clients along.

If you're a salon owner thinking about hiring your first assistant—or you're already in the thick of it—this episode is for you. I’m diving deep into the truth behind what it really takes to bring someone onto your team… and it’s probably not what you’ve been told.
We’re talking about why most salon owners wait way too long to hire, the uncomfortable (but necessary) mindset shifts, and the emotional rollercoaster that comes with leadership. Spoiler alert: it’s never going to feel “perfect,” and yes, it’s going to challenge you more than anything else in your career. But the growth on the other side? Unmatched.
In this episode, I share:
Why waiting for the “perfect time” to hire will hold you back
The truth about bringing on your first assistant (hint: it starts selfishly, but that changes fast)
What no one tells you about the hard days, the heartbreak, and the leadership lessons
Why people leaving your salon isn’t a reflection of your worth or your leadership
The reminder every salon owner needs: people will come and go—and that’s okay
Whether you’re hiring for the first time or navigating the emotions of growing a team, this episode is packed with real talk and encouragement to help you keep going.

In this episode of Level Up with Lacey, I’m taking it back to the beginning — to the version of me who was scared to spend a dime on her business. The one who second-guessed every investment, worried about every dollar, and didn’t yet understand what true growth required.
Whether you're just starting out or you're standing on the edge of your next big move, this one’s for YOU.
I’m sharing the 6 things I wish someone had told me when I was scared to invest — the mindset shifts, lessons, and money truths that helped me stop playing small and start building the business I have today.
Here’s what we’ll cover:
Why smart investing isn’t reckless — it’s strategic.
The difference between spending and scaling.
What to look for in a course, coach, or program before handing over your card.
How I learned to trust myself with money (even when it felt terrifying).
What happens when you wait too long to bet on yourself.
And the real return on investing in education, systems, and support.
This episode is your permission slip to think bigger.
Because playing small won't get you where you’re going — and I’m here to help you go all in.

But this wasn’t just a fun week — it was a game-changing one.
These rooms were packed with high-level women who are leading, scaling, and structuring their businesses in completely different ways… and thriving.
It reminded me that:
👉🏼My way isn’t the only way.
👉🏼Success leaves clues.
👉🏼 And the fastest way to grow? Get in the room with people who are already doing it.
In this episode, I’m sharing the biggest mindset shifts, leadership lessons, and unexpected takeaways from this whirlwind week.
