I’ve been in the industry since 2004 — not because I always dreamed of being a hairstylist, but because I had one year left before financial aid ran out and a gut instinct that this path could save me.
And it did.
I’ve known what it’s like to survive.
I’ve been homeless.
I moved out on my own at 17.
I grew up in instability, and that trauma wrote the script for how I showed up in my career — obsessed with proving my worth, constantly overgiving, afraid to say no, operating with anxiety and fear at the wheel.
I built success through sheer willpower and survival mode.
And it worked… until it didn’t.
I Built the Dream Career (And Still Felt Empty)
I’ve been a stylist, educator, salon owner (twice), independent education pioneer, product creator, and content powerhouse.
I’ve educated in 38 countries, stood on stages in front of thousands, built a 600k+ following, and was once the International Director of Education for a major brand.
I’ve worked with icons, won awards, and created a life that looked incredible on paper.
But I was burned out.
Anxious.
Sick.
Disconnected.
Dependent on Xanax just to get through the day.
Work was my drug… until it wasn’t enough.
I’m not here to glorify the grind or teach you how to chase success just to stay broke, resentful, and exhausted.
I’m here to help you heal, reclaim your time, raise your standards, own your brilliance, and create the life you actually want — not the one you landed in by accident.
What I Do Now
• I coach hairstylists and creative entrepreneurs who are ready to stop playing small and start creating on their terms.
• I host international retreats (Play with Purpose sold out twice in Southeast Asia) that blend mindset, branding, adventure, and deep personal growth.
• I built a thriving online coaching business while designing my dream life — including buying land and building in Thailand.
• And yes, I still do hair — but only by choice, not by survival.
Who I Help
I work with people who are:
• Done with burnout and ready to feel good again.
• Talented AF but held back by trauma, low self-worth, or fear.
• Creatives who want to build something real, sustainable, and soulful.
• Stylists who are ready to raise their prices, refine their brand, or become educators — but don’t want to sell out or burn out.
How I Help You Transform
I don’t give cookie-cutter advice.
I walk you through the real work — the strategy, the mindset, the healing, and the actual systems that make your dream life possible.
This work isn’t just about career growth.
It’s about life freedom.
It’s about learning to honor your energy, trust your gut, price your worth, stop people-pleasing, and finally feel proud of how you show up — for yourself.
I’m Rebecca Taylor — a hair industry renegade turned transformational coach, educator, retreat host, and creative business strategist.
I help beauty pros, creatives, and entrepreneurs transform their lives, their businesses, and their relationships with work, money, and self-worth.
Through coaching, retreats, and education, I teach them how to create a career that feels as good as it looks.
When the pandemic stripped away my work — my identity — I hit a breaking point.
I admitted myself into treatment.
I got radically honest.
And I began the deep, messy, liberating process of recovery and inner work.
Now, I’m over 4.5 years sober.
I’ve done the trauma healing, the therapy, the breathwork, the shadow work, the full energetic audit of my life.
And I’ve redefined what success, beauty, and freedom mean to me.
You Can’t Pour From an Empty Cup
And you can’t keep showing up for your clients, your business, or your dreams if you’re chronically overwhelmed, underpaid, and disconnected from your purpose.
So let’s flip the script.
Let’s build a version of your career that feels aligned, sustainable, and exciting as hell — without sacrificing your peace or your power.
Ready to step into the next version of yourself?
Let’s go.
