Show Notes
What happens when a former undercover police decoy becomes a salon owner, educator, and global business mentor?
In this episode, Misty Jayne sits down with Alison Rodriguez, co-founder of two successful salons and creator of Mastermynd Beauty, to talk about growth, reinvention, and building a sustainable career in the beauty industry.
Alison shares her unconventional journey—from working undercover with law enforcement as a teenager to opening and scaling multiple salons, training over 100 stylists, and eventually stepping into education, events, and global mentorship for salon owners and hairstylists.
This conversation is a must-listen if you’re a hairstylist or salon owner who:
- Feels stuck doing the same thing and craving more growth
- Is overwhelmed by social media, business decisions, or leadership
- Wants to move beyond just “making money behind the chair”
- Is curious about education, mindset, automation, and long-term sustainability
