27 | Should you start a home beauty business or rent a salon space? 5 questions to ask yourself first.

What's Inside Today's Episode
In this episode, Jessica Kidner shares her journey from running a large, stressful beauty salon to creating a more balanced, profitable business from her home studio. She tackles the common question: should you rent a space or work from home? According to Jessica Kidner, it’s not just about which option makes more money—it’s about which model supports the lifestyle you want.
She offers five key questions to help guide your decision:
What lifestyle do you want to create?
Can your current clients support the rent?
Are you seeking status or sustainability?
What financial risk are you comfortable with?
What season of life are you in—remember, business models don’t have to be permanent!
Jessica Kidner emphasises that both choices—home studio or rented space—are valid and should align with your personal and family needs. Your beauty business should support your life, not consume it. Download her Beauty Business Blueprint for more guidance.

26 | Welcome to the New Beauty Business Made Easy

Welcome to the Beauty Business Made Easy Podcast
Exhausted by the pressure to “do it all” as a beauty professional, parent, and partner?
Wondering if you really need a big salon and a huge team to succeed in the beauty industry?
Dreaming of building a thriving business without sacrificing your family or sanity?
Feel overwhelmed by the constant call to be a “boss babe” and chase the “success” the industry tells you to want?
Wishing your beauty skills could actually create more freedom—not more stress?
In this new chapter of the podcast, Jessica Kidner shares why she’s pivoted and what listeners can expect going forward. Drawing from her personal journey—from owning and selling a multiple six-figure salon to creating a peaceful life as a mother of three, Jessica challenges the myth that you need a big business and complicated strategy to have great income in the beauty industry.
Instead, this podcast is all about bringing more balance, flexibility, and freedom to beauty professionals, whether you’re running a home studio or working in a small rented space.
If you’re tired of being stretched thin or feeling like you’re serving everyone but yourself, this podcast will give you the permission slip and the practical framework to flip the script. Jessica dives into what it actually takes to build a profitable home business, and why scaling back can be the secret to a rich life—not just a rich bank account.
 Jessica shares her journey from running a multiple six-figure salon to building a profitable, peaceful home studio, all while being a full-time mum and wife to a shift worker.
If you’re searching for a sustainable way to earn great income without burning out or sacrificing family time, this episode is for you.
The traditional “go big or go home” business advice is outdated and how beauty professionals can create freedom and flexibility with clear strategies, simple systems, and home-based studios.
Tune in to hear how you can redefine success—and get practical support and encouragement along the way!
