How many area codes do you do business in? This week we talk about the power of consultations in service-based businesses, diversifying revenue streams within your business, and why sharing your secrets to success can lead to even more success. I’m so excited to introduce Tori Elyse, a model, celebrity hairstylist, and owner of Scottsdale’s hottest salon, Fansē Salon. Let’s dive in.
Imagine dreaming of the fashion runways of LA only to realize that your passion doesn’t align with the realities of the industry. For Tori, her dream of working in high fashion fell apart at 18, forcing her to pivot. Plan B? Assisting a stylist in a small suite where she discovered a love for hair through trial and error. From there, she built an empire of confidence and creativity that would later become Fansē Salon.
Resilience is more than bouncing back—it’s continuing to push forward when things feel overwhelming. From bootstrapping her salon to balancing two clienteles across Arizona and California and scaling intentionally, Tori exemplifies the power of taking bold risks while staying grounded. She mastered slow, steady growth, ensuring her business reflected her values of community, passion, and hustle.
Tori’s adaptability shines through her thoughtful approach to consultations and growth. By offering a variety of pricing tiers and niches within her salon, she created a space that’s inclusive yet intentional. Coupled with her focus on education and social media, Tori proves that consistent effort and a willingness to evolve are key to making your business stand out.
Tori’s mantra? You can’t take things personally, and you have to go farther than everyone else. It’s about staying in your lane, scaling wisely, and embracing the sacrifices it takes to build a business you’re proud of.
