    Hypocrite
    Do not take any advice from this fraud. Her salons are failing to the point where she closed her nail salon with absolutely no warning to clients or employees. Imagine leaving your workers instantly unemployed, and thinking you’re in a position to give anyone advice. She has a long history of poor business practices and management, and threatening employees with lawsuits if they ever speak up.

    I enjoy listening to Kati's interviews. She has great energy and is always positive. Today, I was surprised to hear she interviewed one of my mentors and my only trusted product line. Greg Starkman from Innersense Organic Beauty!!! I wish I could add a phone because while listening in the car, I had their Body Butter in my bag. I agree with you, Kati; I can’t get enough of this product. 🥰

    LOVE this podcast!
    Beyond the Technique has quickly become a favorite of mine. I have gained an abundance of leadership knowledge and inspiration from each episode. I exited the industry a few years ago, but continue to listen as the information is easily applied to any leader looking for continued growth & support. I only wish I had found this podcast sooner!!

    Beyond Great!
    I love this podcast! I’ve been in biz almost 8 years. I found Beyond the Technique probably 6 years ago. This review is long over due! Katie has helped shape so much of what I’ve learned about how to run a successful salon. It’s a regular in my podcast rotation and I’m thankful for every episode I’ve heard! Especially when she sings a few notes! -Jennifer @ Gamine Beauty

    So Many Actionable Ideas
    I have been listening to Beyond the Technique for years and love what this show offers!! Katie is always having relevant conversations about where the beauty industry is right in the moment and what we need to be thinking of to prepare for the future. Not only does she present the topic, but she gives actionable steps to take. I love the broad range of topics and look forward to listening every week!

    Favorite podcast
    This podcast is my favorite all time podcast. Kati’s voice is so soothing to listen to. Every topic she talks about with her guests are relevant topics. They are exactly what we want to hear and exactly what we need to hear. I do not do hair but I run a salon and finding salon oriented podcasts that dive into the business side of the salon, without being outdated in their approach. I cannot recommend this podcast enough!!

    Great Content!
    I just stumbled upon this podcast a few days ago and I’m binge listening! Love Katie already, feels like your talking to your girlfriend but also a mentor. I have been a licensed cosmetologist for over 30 years. I have learned a lot over the years, made many mistakes but things like Katie’s podcast can’t help you learn so much quicker and bring you to another level. You won’t be disappointed! Thank you Katie, I appreciate you!

    From a booth renter
    I’m an independent stylist, not an owner, and I really appreciate the content you are creating! I love how my salon owner encourages and educates our stylists! She inspires me to crave more knowledge and I think this podcast has a plethora of information!!!
  • Roninti
    Great interviews
    As a young new salon owner it’s nice to listen to stories of other owners

    Winn NEVER fails to elevate!
    I’ll be honest, Winn intimidates the hell out of me but that’s also the exact reason I respect and appreciate him so. As an almost former student of his, I can’t express how grateful I am for his incredibly high yet still loving standards. If you want some cut to the quick love that will bring you more success and purpose, listen to anything and everything Winn shares. Always. Thanks so much, Winn. For everything.

    Nothing like it!
    This podcast is so great!! I love the diversity in topics. Episodes are packed with useful and productive info that has changed my game behind the chair ❤️
  • The Vanity Spot
    Amazing!
    Since listening to this podcast I have learned so much more about my business, my personal leadership style, and most importantly that I am not alone. Being a salon owner is a lot like being a parent, it’s hard but rewarding, it’s lonely but inclusive, and most of the time we think we are doing everything all wrong while everyone else seems to be doing it right. Since listening (and I have binge listened) I have learned I’m not alone and that I am on the right path but could use a bit more advice. Thank you Katie for this amazing gift. You bring the truth with hope, and that is refreshing and priceless. Priscilla Fletcher The Vanity Spot Salon & Boutique Austin, Texas

    LOVE Kati!
    As a newbie to the beauty industry, Kati's tips make me feel like a seasoned professional! I will be listening to this podcast from my first year in the industry until my last!!!

    Applicable Tips and Techniques
    As a former salon owner I can relate to many of the challenges that Kati talks about in this podcast. We struggled with employee turnover, finding top stylists, differentiating ourselves from our competition and retaining our clients. I wish I had Kati's advice when I owned the salon. We have since sold it, but even so, the concepts that Kati outlines in her podcast is transferable to many businesses. I highly recommend listening. Kati is an inspiration.

    Kati Preaches the Business Gospel!!!
    Had a chance to listen to Kati on this podcast, and she took me to CHURCH! Kati brings it home with powerful, but simple business truths that are just what you need to hear. Don't worry if you're not a beauty professional, because the principles that guide her message are universally applicable.
