Why Raising Your Prices Feels Scary (and Why You Should Do It Anyway) w/ Maddi Cook

Published on: 20th October, 2025

In this powerful throwback conversation, Misty Jayne sits down with Maddi Cook, the creator of Boss Your Salon, to talk about the real reason stylists struggle with pricing — and spoiler alert — it’s 90% mindset, 10% numbers.

They unpack why “charge your worth” is a misleading phrase, how people-pleasing keeps you undercharging, and why confidence comes after you take the scary step — not before. You’ll also learn:

  • Why you can’t wait to “feel ready” to raise your prices
  • How fear, scarcity, and self-worth are all connected
  • What happens energetically when you start charging what your work deserves
  • How enforcing your boundaries actually attracts better clients

Whether you’re a booth renter, salon suite owner, or stylist behind the chair — this episode will shift the way you think about money, value, and the kind of clients you attract.
