Scarcity has quietly shaped the beauty industry for far too long — teaching stylists to fear time off, compete instead of collaborate, and tie their worth to overworking and survival.
In this episode, Ashlee Vance sits down with Aleta Plajer, owner of AMP Hair Extension Studio, to name the patterns we’ve inherited and begin the work of releasing them.
Together, they explore what it looks like to heal scarcity at the root — through making shifts that removes scarcity by potential issues in the business and setting it up for ultimate success. This conversation invites stylists to step out of burnout, redefine success, and choose community over competition.
If you’ve felt the weight of hustle, anxiety, or constant pressure behind the chair, this episode offers a gentle but honest invitation: you don’t have to survive your career — you’re allowed to build one that sustains you.
