THE BEAUTY BREAKDOWN with Michelle Senour: Recent Episodes
Michelle Senour
Breaking it ALL down- from beauty to business and everything in-between! I’m here to inspire you, inspire your business, challenge you to level up and push you to become your best self!
Today I am so excited to finally chat about my Elevate workshop which is a two day experience for salon owners. What was really unique about this experience-I’ve never done education like this before-was that it was a small, intimate group of salon owners that I actually hand-picked. One thing they all had in common is that in one way or another they were seeking to elevate their business. It was so beautiful to be strategic in who I put together in the room because one thing about owning a business or having a salon in general is that it can be a little isolating sometimes. You think you should always have the answers and there is no manual on how to run a salon! So it was so incredible to bring everyone together where they were able to learn from me, but they were also able to learn from each other. We got to brainstorm together, we had strategic business building sessions and some really cool activities that got them thinking differently, and one of the best parts is that they got to connect with other entrepreneurs that are in the same boat and get them!
On today’s episode I have some live clips from my experience that I want to give you guys a little behind the scenes moment. I’m so excited to share this with you and if it resonates with you or someone you know pass it along because we have next year’s wait lists open! Class dates are not released yet, but I will be sure to add the link with all the information in the show notes. So grab that notebook and let’s get limitless!

I wanted to jump on today in real time to discuss something that has been taking up so much of my time and energy recently-salon booking and processing systems. As many of my listeners know, I recently made the switch from a commission salon to a hybrid rental salon and I have been having the craziest time finding a salon system that functions the way I would like and that covers our needs from the client perspective and from an employer perspective. I thought this would be a great opportunity to talk about some of the systems we have in place as a salon that work, how we’ve had to pivot many times to find different solutions, and how to stand up for your client’s and team’s needs as a leader.

Today I am fresh of the airplane and ready to put some realness into this podcast, but wanted to jump on to share what I just experienced right away! I had the opportunity to attend Powerhouse Women which is an event in Scottsdale, AZ. I got to listen to some extremely powerful stories from women entrepreneurs that were so inspiring. My notes section in my phone is full of bullet points that help me jog my memory to what I felt when I heard that message. They had so many good one liners and I really wanted to take the opportunity to share some of those that hit me and also why they hit me.
If you don't know what Powerhouse Women is that's totally fine! Lindsey Schwartz is the creator and she is such an inspirational woman that has a heart of gold and you can just feel that through the way that she presents, how she speaks and how she connects with you. I was really drawn to her which is why I initially wanted to attend Powerhouse Women. The whole intent of this event is to allow you to connect with other women who want more-there were 800 women there!- obviously to have some fun, and to be inspired by all of the speakers and feel what's next for you. For me, I got the opportunity to step away and really reconnect with myself and can't wait to share with you what I've taken away from this. So grab those notebooks and let's get limitless!

Today we have a return guest and friend of the pod, the goddess herself, Diana! In case you missed her previous episode (11 in season 1), Diana is a permanent makeup specialist who has grown her business from the bottom up and isn’t stopping anywhere soon. Her story is so inspirational and I definitely recommend going back to listen to that episode to catch more about her background.
Today I have her back on because we recently were chatting over instagram about the beauty industry and alllll the changes it has been going through recently. Obviously the covid pandemic shifted a lot of people’s businesses and mindsets, but we now are noticing even different transitions from saturated markets to burnt out clients to financial decisions. We chat about how to navigate these global trends, supporting one another and pivoting business strategies with client needs, so grab those notebooks and let’s get limitless!

Today I have the absolute pleasure to chat with the incredible Lacey Gebo. Lacey has been in the industry for over 11 years, a salon owner since 2013 and has a HUGE heart and passion to grow other stylists. It's completely admirable and one of my all-time favorite things about her. She has some amazing education opportunities with LG education where she teaches artists and salon owners how to recruit, hire, and train assistants behind the chair! The Assistant University is the #1 Assistant Program inside the beauty industry today! I absolutely love this episode because we just dive into so many things from leadership, to education, to how to mentor your team to how to get through tough times and I am just so grateful she took the time to connect with me and connect with all the listeners. I hope our chat inspires you and reinvigorates your excitement for leadership. Grab that notebook and let’s get limitless!

It has been such a fun summer already, I hope you are enjoying yours!! I recently got done hosting my 4th annual stylist convention, Six Figure Stylist at my salon and am so excited to sit down with my team to recap everything that went down this year and talk more about the event in general.
As an educator, I have loved getting to create this unique experience that is somewhat stylist specific, but also covers personal and professional growth in a very hands-on and collaborative way. Every year me and my team get to meet and work with so many creative people and make connections that have lasted and truly grown since we began. In this episode we get to chat about all the behind the scenes details and honestly it’s a fun reunion for us too! This event is open to everyone at all stages in your beauty career and if it’s speaking to you or if you think it’s something someone you know would be interested in reach out and join our 2025 waitlist!

The other day I was talking to one of my coworkers about all the options for education for stylists and being an educator myself, I loved hearing her perspective and decided to make an episode about it. The market for salon and stylist education is becoming so full with so many different options and while sometimes I hear people that are blown away by an education opportunity I also find that there can be some disappointment after classes maaaaybe not living up to some of the expectations.
Today I am challenging us educators to raise the bar to create learning experiences and environments to truly help each other and to hype each other up to elevate our businesses to the next level. So grab that notebook, and let’s get limitless!

One of my favorite topics to talk about, and probably the question I get asked most about is opening my salon. I love sharing all the ins and outs of the process from the idea, to the build out to the hiring process. I’ve learned so much along the way and have had a lot of changes and growth to come up with a space and team I am so grateful for and proud of.
If you’re thinking about this journey, know that it is a big transition, but if you keep your vision in mind and put in the work you can make a place you and others are excited to come to everyday.

Today we have the absolute pleasure to talk to the owner and CEO of Sweet Tox herself, Katie Sweetman. Sweet Tox is a woman owned and operated medical spa here in the Milwaukee area.
Katie started this company after a bad day on her unit as an ICU nurse. Since that day in 2017, she has grown her medical spa from a single room to a 16,000 sq ft pink oasis. Sweet Tox’s space is not only uniquely fun, but it has become a community of empowerment and self-love. Understanding that injectables can be intimidating, she has made it her and her team’s mission to provide a safe space where you can be your most authentic self.
I’m so excited for you to hear our conversation and dive more into the world of injectables, and her personal journey of growing a dream into what it is today. So grab those notebooks, and let’s get limitless!

Welcome to Season 3 of The Limitless Podcast! This episode is so special to me because I’m bringing back my therapist, Laura Skinner to the podcast. In case you missed it, go back to season 1 episode 5, where I share my journey into therapy and how it has been so helpful in my life. I’m so grateful to have met and gotten to know Laura and today we are heading into an even bigger topic of relationships. This topic aligns with me because at the beginning of the year she asked me my goals for therapy this year or any area I wanted to focus on and with my wedding being this fall, I wanted to dive deeper and do some premarital work.
Laura is a licensed professional counselor with her bachelors in Psychology and Masters in counseling. With over a decade of experience you can imagine she has worked in many different settings but her passion and experiences led her to opening her own practice and specializing in treating Substance Use Disorders, Trauma using EMDR(Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy. Today we discuss common communication breakdowns in couples, how counseling can be helpful and what it means to work on healthy relationships with our partners.

I can’t believe it, but we’re already wrapping up season 2! I’m so grateful for all of you for listening and coming along this journey with me. My goal for making the podcast was to have interesting and engaging conversations, and of course to help along the way.
Every season we like to close out with an interview with me and my podcast aficionado Katie to do a little reflection and get excited for our events coming up. Today we start off with a bang by getting into some unpopular opinions and misconceptions about the salon industry. We tackle some of the upcoming trends we’re noticing and close out with some hopes and plans for season 3- so grab your notebook and let’s get limitless!

Today we have a very special guest, Dani from the super inspirational instagram and coaching program mindinmymacros! I have been a long time follower of her work and am so excited to sit down to chat with her about her journey into health and wellness. I have been on my own personal health journey for many years and if you have ever worked with me I am always preaching about HEALTH!
Dani is a double-certified nutrition coach specializing in optimizing macronutrients and lifestyle habits to help women reach their body transformation goals while still living a life well-lived. She is a former yo-yo dieter and cardio junkie who’s entire life changed dramatically when she ditched those diet culture mentalites and learned how to eat for her body. She now shares that education to her over 100,000 followers and to over 1,000 women via her coaching programs and courses.
So many of us look to lose weight to just look beautiful, but in this episode we discuss how our bodies and minds change when we focus on supporting the body instead of fighting against it! We get into some very useful information about nutrition, tips for if you’re feeling stuck in this area, and helpful mindset shifts to start thinking about your physical health differently.

Today is a super fun day, because we have with me Brit, my very first employee, and Katie, my salon manager, to cover the topic of asking for assistance. Being in a service industry and being women especially, many of us fall prey to the “super woman complex” or wanting to do it all. As much as we want to take it all on, or do it ourselves- in order to grow, we NEED to have help.
Today we’re breaking down our own experiences of wanting to do it all and the tolls it takes. Then we chat about the real steps I’ve taken in my life to start delegating and free up time in my schedule to become a better leader and take us all to the next level.

It’s going to be such a fun day today because we’re coming at you LIVE from my salon, Elle & Co.!! I am behind the chair three days a week and wouldn’t trade this time for the world. I thought this would be a super fun opportunity to get a little behind the scenes action with my team and get their perspective not only on their years of experience in the hair industry, but also their time here with me!
We have so much fun here and with one another, and I know that’s something our clients can really feel as well. Usually when I ask what do you love most about the salon both employees and clients first answer is the PEOPLE. And isn’t that what’s life really is about? The relationships we have with each other?! Let’s have some fun, grab that notebook and let’s get limitless!!

With so much going on in our busy lives I’m going to take the opportunity with this episode to slow us down and get us to tap into the clarity of our inner voice, or our authenticity. It’s so easy to get pushed and pulled and dragged away from our center and whether it’s a big aha moment like I had, or a more subtle journey, I think one of life’s greatest purposes is to find and step into what is authentically you!
I’ve had moments and even years of feeling disconnected from myself and once I started embracing my authenticity, my business life and my personal life have continued growing and becoming more fulfilling. We’re going to talk about how to get out of your head and into your heart, and speaking of feelings, finding the things that feel GOOD to you!

This is part 1 of a very special and personal interview with a VERY special guest, my therapist, Laura Skinner.
My Journey to therapy started on July 4th 2021 when I found myself feeling completely lost, eyes covered in tears on what started as a normal drive home from the grocery store…yes me…mrs positive, mrs go-getter, mrs tough girl. I found myself thinking back to who I was as a kid and asking myself…”where has all my joy gone?!” For months prior I felt something was off… I read, I journaled, I listened to podcasts… but I still couldn’t pinpoint what it was…I had to admit at that moment.. I needed guidance. I didn’t know where to start and I truly felt like I had failed…but If I could see myself now..I would tell myself that this choice wasn’t a failure...but a massive investment in my future.
In this episode, I’m so freaking excited to share my personal journey through therapy with you all and my hope is that it inspires you to dive deeper into exploring yourself, breaks the stigma that therapy is only for the “broken” and that hearing my story helps you as much as it has grown me.

Welcome to our first “LIMITED EDITION” episode! In these episodes we break away from our traditional podcast format and go straight into answering questions that my listeners have submitted! I've also brought on my salon manager Katie again for a little interview style!
Being a stylist for over a decade and business owner for almost 5 you can imagine I get so many messages around those two topics! With that being said, I decided to first deep-dive into all the questions you have about life behind the chair and life as a salon owner. I have worked in corporate salons as commission stylist, been in my own suite and now own my salon where I have worked with both commission and booth rental models. SO lots of history! What I’ve learned most of all is that when we share our knowledge and experience it can raise us up as an entire community. So if you’re in the beauty industry or just curious about the ins and outs, grab your notebook and let’s get limitless!

Researcher and author Brene Brown says "daring to set boundaries is about having the courage to love ourselves even when we risk disappointing others." It can a hard thing to do, to set up the expectation in both our personal and our professional lives that people cannot have access to our thoughts, emotions and time that either they once had, or wanted to have. But trust me, setting clear lines will help make it easier for both parties and help you stick to your goals of creating your dream life. In today's episode, I challenge the people pleasers in all of us, discuss why we need healthy boundaries and give you three simple steps to setting and staying consistent with them. So grab your notebook, and let's get limitless!

I'm going to give you real, actionable steps that you can start right NOW. It's time to identify what you want, set those goals and master your schedule to make it all happen.
