ABOUT ME

Hii, I’m

Sammy Kennedy

Helping Beauty CEO's build a business (and life) they love.

My story

When I first started in the beauty industry, I thought working harder was the answer to every problem. Longer hours, more clients, saying yes to everything.

The result? Burnout, stress, and the constant feeling that no matter how hard I tried, it was never good enough.

I know exactly how it feels to:

  • Compare yourself endlessly to competitors.

  • Wonder why you’re still struggling despite doing “all the right things”

  • Feel chained to the salon with no freedom to enjoy the life you’re working so hard to create.

That’s why I created Beauty Industry Leaders, to help salon owners, trainers, and educators:

  • Step into their role as respected experts

  • Master their money

  • Providing tools and resources to help my community continually grow & evolve

  • Create sustainable success without sacrificing their health or happiness

  • Connect with other amazing women in the industry

BRANDS I'VE PARTNERED WITH

Why work with me?

  • I scaled one of my businesses from zero to one million dollars in just seven months.

  • I have built one 6-figure business, four multi 6-figure businesses and one 7-figure business from the ground up.

  • I have been involved in eight family businesses over the last 18 years.

  • I am a multi industry entrepreneur with ownership experience across entertainment, events, beauty, hospitality and coaching.

  • I have worked with over 350 beauty business owners to help them stop burning out, get fully booked, build profitable systems and finally see the results their hard work deserves.

  • I know the journey from overwhelm to balance because I have lived it. I was once overworked and underpaid until I built the systems, brand and strategy that changed everything.

Today, I teach those exact frameworks to beauty business owners, educators, and salon leaders who are ready to stop winging it and start building something sustainable, profitable, and most importantly, fulfilling.

My Mission

My mission is simple: to help beauty industry professionals stop surviving and start thriving.
When beauty leaders rise, the whole industry rises with them; and I’m here to make that happen.
