The Balance Between Mental Health, Physical Health and Salon Life

05/10/2023

Imagine having a huge goal that you set for yourself and your career. You work toward that goal and eventually achieve it, only to have that dream destroyed. What would that do to your physical and mental well being?

Katie Alm, hair stylist, Joico Artistic Educator, and Olivia Garden Brand Ambassador, had a similar experience. After achieving the goal she set for herself of owning her own salon, the pandemic hit. 

Katie shut down her salon and moved into a salon suite where she couldn’t be happier. It’s crazy how your dreams can change and adjust. Join Volume Up’s episode with Katie to learn about her adjustment, what it has meant for her clients, her work with JOICO and Olivia Garden, and her crazy fun adventures on social media.

“I remember thinking, ‘my life’s about to really change’ and OOOH, did it change, for the better. I ended up just asking the right questions and networking. Putting myself out there is so scary.”

“I love content creating and I think it’s a gateway to brands and to becom[ing] an influencer… Just to put yourself out there because the worst they’re going to say is ‘no’.”

“I told myself, ‘I’m going to raise myself up and become this Katie that you’re looking at right now… You have to treat yourself and fill yourself up before you fill up other people’s cups.”
