Making a Fresh Start
N
ew beginnings can be tough. But they're also a time of
excitement, wonder, and hope. As I begin my journey
as the editor of AHP Indie Stylist, I am lled with
all of these emotions. Yes, it's daunting to ll the large shoes
Mary Abel left behind, but I'm also excited for the future of
this publication and the endless possibilities in front of me.
I rmly believe this is how you should approach the fall and
winter seasons. Rather than letting it be a time of hunkering
down and feeling sorrow about the end of warmer days, let this
be your opportunity to face the mysterious future head-on.
We'll get you started with a few ideas. For a fresh
perspective on going bald, I recommend checking out
Catherine Santino's feature "Empowering Clients to
Embrace Change" (page 34). Santino breaks down how
to discuss baldness with your clients and help them feel
ready to make the decision that's best for them.
On page 40, you'll nd Lisa Bakewell's feature
"Planning to Go Solo?" where she discusses the pros and
cons of venturing out on your own as a solopreneur.
As for expanding your skill set? Learn more about
marketing yourself and your business on social media (page
18), and discover how to increase your pay the easy way—
through extensions (page 46). And as always, browse our
artist collective for a dose of creative inspiration (page 75).
From my new beginning at AHP to your new adventures
this fall and winter, may we all nd the thrill in the unknown.

I
've never been great at saying goodbye, but just as the
changing seasons are inevitable, so are changes in life.
And so, I leave AHP Indie Stylist in the capable hands
of Jen Anderson, who I know is excited to keep bringing
you the news and articles you've come to expect from your
member magazine.
I'm so grateful for these past years, during which I've
learned so much, met so many of you at trade shows and
conferences, and—hopefully—helped every AHP member
move their career forward.
I wish you every success,
