238.From Side Hustle to Salon Owner: Building a Profitable Hair Extensions Business as a Mom with Sara Perry

Have you ever wondered what could happen if you stopped waiting for the “perfect time”… and just started building the business you know you’re meant for?

In today’s episode of The Good Enough Mompreneur Podcast, I’m joined by Sara Perry — founder of Sare Extensions and The Extensions Brand — who turned a side hustle into a thriving, fully booked beauty business.

Sara started with a chair in her mom’s house… taking clients at night after working long days… and slowly built her way to owning her own salon, growing a loyal client base, and expanding into education for other stylists.

But what makes this conversation so powerful isn’t just what she built — it’s how she did it.

We talk about the real decisions, mindset shifts, and boundaries that helped her go from hustling to sustainable success — all while navigating motherhood and a full life.

Whether you’re in the beauty industry or building something completely different, this episode will show you what’s possible when you stop playing small and start trusting yourself.

In this episode, we cover:

•  How Sara started her hair extensions business from home 
•  Balancing a full-time job while growing a side hustle 
•  The moment her business became truly profitable 
•  Why specializing helped her stand out in a competitive industry 
•  How to attract and retain high-value clients 
•  Pricing your services with confidence (without burnout) 
•  Setting boundaries as a mom and business owner 
•  The mindset shifts required to grow a sustainable business 
•  Lessons learned from mistakes, growth, and expansion 
•  How she evolved into an educator and mentor for other stylists 

This episode is for you if:

•  You’re building a side hustle and want to grow it into something more 
•  You’re a mompreneur craving more income, flexibility, or fulfillment 
•  You struggle with pricing, boundaries, or confidence in your business
