Making 7 Figures as a Hairstylist in a Small Market | Hair Like a Boss, Owner, Blonde Solutions: Today on the podcast we challenge the myth that you can't become a millionaire hairstylist if you live in a small market. Only those working in places like New York or Los Angeles can achieve massive professional success. Our guest on this episode is Daniel Tetrault, known on instagram as @HairLikeABoss. His story profoundly disproves this myth. Working only out of a small Massachusetts town of 16,000 people, Dan has built a multi million dollar empire as a master of platinum and blonde hair with his own product line, Blonde Solutions. We talk to Daniel about how he spotted big market/celebrity trends to keep his prices high, how he began teaching others, and how he converted his success into a global product line. by The Millionaire Hairstylist
