Ready to build a beauty business that doesn't just look successful—but actually feels aligned, profitable, and fulfilling? Welcome to From Chair to CEO—the podcast for ambitious salon owners, hairstylists, and beauty professionals who are ready to lead with intention, grow with strategy, and live with purpose.


I’m Amanda Smearman—salon and spa owner, mentor, mom, and soon-to-be your favorite business bestie. After building two thriving beauty brands from the ground up, I’m here to share what actually works behind the scenes—from leadership and pricing to team culture, marketing, and mindset.


Each week, we’ll dive into real conversations about salon ownership, building a booked-and-balanced life, leading a team with heart (and boundaries), and stepping into your role as a true CEO—without burning out or losing your spark.

Whether you're behind the chair or building an empire, this podcast will give you the tools, encouragement, and tough love you need to grow.


💬 Business.
💬 Leadership.
💬 Life.
Let’s talk about all of it.
