August 2025
If there’s one thing you can count on—in life and in the salon industry—it’s change. Styles change. Clients change. Business models change. And the truth is, the pace of that change isn’t slowing down.
At Destroy The Hairdresser, our mission isn’t just to help you keep up. Anyone can “keep up.” We’re here to push you past what’s already here, to challenge you to think bigger, act bolder, and step into the role of the salon professional who doesn’t just react to change—you create it.
The future of our industry will be built by those willing to take risks, experiment, and rewrite the rules. That’s where you come in. Whether it’s mastering leadership, transforming your pricing, or building a team that thrives under your vision, we’re committed to giving you the tools, strategies, and mindset shifts you need to not only adapt, but to lead.
Change is inevitable. But your success? That’s something you get to decide.
See you at the front of the movement,

Upcoming live & online classes!
You’re not “bad at communication.” You’re just avoiding the truth.
Join this 2-hour interactive workshop with Coach Kate, Monday August 25th @ 7pm ET.
You’ve been avoiding the conversation.
Or saying too much and still not getting through.
Or trying to be “professional” while secretly simmering with rage.
Sound familiar?
This workshop is for anyone who's ever:
✖️ Left a conversation feeling misunderstood
✖️ Rehearsed the perfect response in the shower after the fact
✖️ Said yes when you meant hell no
✖️ Over-explained, over-apologized, or overreacted
✖️ Tried to be liked instead of being clear
It’s time to Communi-Kate.
In this 2-hour no-fluff, no-filter workshop, Coach Kate will teach you how to:
- Tackle challenging conversations without spiraling
- Lean in or walk away (and know which one’s needed)
- Balance logic with emotion so you don’t bulldoze or break down
- Set boundaries that don’t sound like a TED Talk
- Stop confusing niceness with clarity
This class is for leaders, lovers, stylists, salon owners, and anyone who’s tired of being misunderstood AF.
Come ready to role play, unpack your patterns, and rewrite your communication blueprint.
No more circling around it.
No more people-pleasing.
Say the thing. Clearly. Kindly. Powerfully.
Two days. Two sessions. One mission: tear down outdated salon business models and rebuild for real profit, leadership, and longevity.
