The Hidden Skills Top Earners Use No One Taught You in Cosmetology School

Cosmetology school teaches you how to do hair.
But it doesn’t teach you how to make money doing hair.

And that’s exactly why so many talented stylists stay stuck at the same income year after year — while others hit 6 figures behind the chair. So what are the top earners doing differently?

Surprisingly, it’s not about being the “best cutter” or knowing the most trendy color formulas.

It’s about the hidden skills that build trust, increase revenue, and make clients loyal for life… the skills no one teaches you in school, but every high-earning stylist swears by.

Here are a few:

1. Consultation Psychology (Not Just Asking “What Are We Doing Today?”)

Top earners know how to guide a client through a real consultation — one that uncovers their needs, sets expectations, and opens the door for upgrades, retail, and long-term loyalty.

It’s not small talk.
It’s a revenue strategy.

2. The Signature Service Experience

Clients don’t remember the haircut.
They remember how it felt to sit in your chair.

Top stylists follow a repeatable guest-experience system that builds instant trust — and keeps clients coming back even when your prices go up.

3. Communication That Positions You as the Expert

Most stylists explain services.
Top earners explain solutions.

There’s a difference — and clients pay for that difference.

4. Time Management That Increases Income (Not Hours Worked)

You don’t make more money by squeezing more people in.
You make more by using your time strategically.

Top earners know how to structure their day, pre-plan their tickets, and control their workflow… and they do it without stress.

5. Business Confidence

This is the big one.

Top stylists know how to talk about pricing without apologizing.
They know their value.
And they know how to show it.

This is what changes your income — not luck, not location, not chance.

These hidden skills aren’t taught in school…but they are taught inside Debrah Englert’s 2-Day Becoming a Hair Pro Consultant seminar.

If you’re ready to step into the level of success you’ve always known you’re capable of, this is where it starts.

The full value of this seminar is $4,999,
but seats are currently open for only $1,999 (or 3 payments of $699).
