Ready to Teach? Here’s How I Transitioned into Education

So You Want to Start Educating? Here's What Worked for Me

Transitioning into education can feel like entering a whole new world—but it doesn’t have to be intimidating. I’m still fairly new to it myself, but I’ve learned a lot in a short time.

If you’re ready to step into your role as an educator, here’s what helped me—and what I’d tell anyone looking to make that shift:

1. Start Talking to the Right Audience

The first mindset shift you’ll need to make? Stop talking to clients—and start talking to other beauty professionals. That means sharing things like common mistakes you see in the treatment room, your business wins and fails, and the lessons you’ve learned along the way.

You want to position yourself as a trusted voice in your specialty. Show people that success is possible and that you’re here to help them achieve it.

2. Step Into Your Confidence

If you’re unsure or holding back, your audience will feel it. Confidence doesn’t mean knowing everything—it means standing in what you do know and trusting that it’s valuable.

When I first started, I’d sometimes get stumped and think, “Oh no, what would I do in that situation?” But you find your rhythm. Over time, your voice, your teaching style, and your unique approach all fall into place.

3. Own Your Niche and Your Secret Sauce

There are a lot of educators out there, which means you need to get crystal clear on what makes you different.

For me, it started with my Hand-Tied Threading Method. I saw a major gap—clients kept sharing how poor their past threading experiences were, and I realized: it wasn’t the technique, it was the training. So I created what I wish others had access to.

Then with brow lamination, I noticed a lack of science-backed education. So I built training that demystified the process and gave people the knowledge to go beyond brand-specific timing cards.

Figure out your “why,” and let that guide your offerings.

4. Talk About It—A Lot

Market yourself as an educator the same way you once marketed yourself behind the chair. Post about your trainings. Share insights. Sell your manuals or digital products with pride. This is your new lane, and people need to hear about it to trust you in it.

5. Get Support

Once you’re steady in your service business and ready to grow as an educator, start investing in help. Use your existing income to fund your next level—whether that’s branding, systems, design, or course support. It’s all part of the same ecosystem.

Your Experience Matters

If you’re feeling the pull to educate, trust that. Someone out there is waiting to learn exactly what you’ve mastered through real-world experience. You don’t need to have it all figured out—you just need to start sharing.
