Elizabeth Faye in action

Her viral TEDx talk, watched around the world

How Hairstylists Change The World, TEDxStGeorge. Ranked as one of the highest-watched TEDx talks released in 2023.

One of the beauty industry’s most sought-after speakers, bringing a decade of expertise in wellness, community building, redefining culture in business and heart-led leadership to stages worldwide.

For too long, the beauty industry has worn burnout as a badge of honor. Artists who are broke, underpaid, boundaryless & overextended, powering a billion-dollar industry.

That era is over. Post-pandemic, we are choosing sustainability over sacrifice. Mental health is no longer taboo, and wellbeing is no longer a luxury, it is a strategic advantage.

When we protect the people doing the work, we future proof the industry itself.

Leadership and culture development

Workshops for salon owners

What makes great people stay? What turns talented individuals into a dream team? And how does an owner build that without carrying the whole business on their shoulders? This interactive workshop takes owners inside the psychology of the world’s strongest cultures: leaders who lead with heart and mission, team members who lead alongside them, and Vitality systems built into the touchpoints you already have. Owners leave with tools for culture, retention, recruitment and burnout, and more freedom for themselves. The goal: a salon great people want to join, rave about and never leave.

Bring wellness into the classroom

The most anxious generation just sat down in your classroom. Now what? Your teachers are carrying students who are anxious, overwhelmed, stressed and learning to navigate adulthood in a digital age. This session gives instructors practical, experience-based wellness and mindfulness tools they can use in the classroom immediately to calm the room, strengthen connection, support learning and make their own day easier. Tools they can use between classes, teach on day one and return to all year long, because the most powerful thing you can give a student is more than a license.

Burnout proof your beauty business

Burnout is the quiet reason great beauty and wellness pros leave this industry every day. It is the hidden cost inside too many beauty and wellness businesses, and no one is talking about it. This talk shows professionals how to build a business that protects their mental, emotional and physical health, because they are the business. They will learn how to create boundaries that hold, protect their energy from the emotional weight of high-touch work, regulate their nervous system, and build simple well-being systems that support both a healthy life and a profitable career. Because burnout should never be the cost of success.

The power of building community

People do not stay for products. They stay loyal when they feel connected. Elizabeth Faye built a global community of tens of thousands of beauty professionals from a single retreat, and this talk breaks down what made it possible: heart, storytelling and mission, and how to infuse them into every touchpoint, whether you are selling in the field, posting on social or telling your story in an educational moment. Learn why connection drives loyalty and retention, and practical ways to create belonging wherever you show up. Community is the sales strategy that compounds: people who belong buy more, stay longer and sell your brand for you.

A custom one-day retreat

Bring the Vitality experience directly to your team. Elizabeth Faye has spent years designing transformational retreats that beauty professionals talk about for the rest of their careers, and now that experience can be built for your people, your culture and what your team needs most: leadership, heart-led culture, mental and emotional well-being, team connection, purpose and personal growth. This is not a day in a conference room listening to presentations. It is experience-based, interactive and deeply human, with conversations, exercises and wellness practices your team will carry back into their work and lives. They will laugh. They will cry. They will connect. And they will leave more connected to themselves, each other and the work they do.
