Cobi-Jane Intuitive Connections WHERE HEALING TOUCH MEETS INTUITIVE INSIGHT

đź’« When the Chair Finally Broke

My reclining chair at the salon finally broke — it had been holding on and slowly deteriorating for a while now.

And, in perfect timing, it happened mid-conversation… as I was talking about making changes to protect my energy and create better balance in my work.

It hit me how symbolic that was.
That chair is where clients relax, release, and receive — and yet it gave way right as I was speaking about honouring my own energy.

It felt like a message:
Even the things that hold others up need care, support, and renewal too.
Sometimes, something has to give before we fully allow the change that’s been calling us.

This moment couldn’t have aligned more with a shift I’ve been preparing behind the scenes…

From January 1st, 2026, the way I run my business and pricing will be changing.
I’ll be moving to an hourly rate — so if your appointment runs over or you decide to change what you usually have, this new structure allows me to continue meeting your needs while also honouring my own worth, time, and energy.

This is about alignment — creating a space that feels good for both of us. And to KEEP ME HAIRDRESSING!

So, just like that broken chair, I’m letting go of what’s been holding on too long and stepping into something that truly supports the next phase.

✨ Here’s to honouring balance, energy, and change — in business, and in life.

✨ The Reality of Being a Self-Employed Hairdresser ✨

The other day I started at 8:30am and didn’t leave until 9:45pm. Doing hair, listening, holding space....
Back-to-back clients, barely time to breathe.
Even when I schedule a break, I rarely get one. I don’t drink much water because my hands are always busy. I grab a bite here and there — maybe while mixing your colour or making your coffee.

Products are expensive, aftercare has almost no markup. I stock it because I care about your hair, not because it’s profitable. I use my experience, time, and energy to create your perfect colour — and then I cross my fingers you’ll care for it between visits so the plan stays on track.

I do hair because I love it. I always have.
But in all those years, my prices never truly grew with me.

Why?
Because part of me was scared to charge my worth.
Old beliefs told me I wasn’t worthy of money — that clients would only pay what I believed they could afford, or they’d leave.

But the truth is… most of my clients earn more than I do. And I have watched all of them grow and I am always so happy and excited for my clients wins.
I’ve always looked at it like they were doing me a favour by booking in.

When I was younger, I hurt my back six months out of my apprenticeship — right after having a baby. I had surgery, taught myself to walk and stand again, and slowly rebuilt myself, my career all while learning how to be a Mum.
Then at 22years old I became a single mum with a two-year-old, working for myself and studying.

Hairdressing was my safety net, my comfort.
It helped me survive when I wasn’t okay.

Then Covid came, and it forced me to stop — to face myself and start healing.
When I came back, I realised my prices hadn’t changed, but everything else had.
The cost of products, tools, and running a business have skyrocketed. And now, I’m barely breaking even.

It’s my massage and healing work that keeps me afloat — because the overheads of hairdressing are ridiculous.

So from January 1st, 2026, I’ll be charging a minimum of $100 per hour.
Appointments will be one-on-one, so I can eat, drink, and care for myself while giving you my full energy and attention.

I need my clients — my community — to help me take care of my mind, body, and soul, so I can keep doing what I do best.
Because I want to be here for the long run — creating beauty, connection, and healing from the chair. ❤️

✨ These words come from my own reflections and lived experience — they’re simply my perspective. I believe we all have the right to see, feel, and make sense of life in our own unique way.

I’m sharing what I’ve come to understand through my own healing, in case it helps someone else meet themselves more gently.

Because beneath everything that’s happened to us, there’s still an innocent, pure essence — the part of us that was never meant to carry blame.

Even in the moments where no one was there to protect you, and you weren’t old enough to protect yourself, that part of you still existed. It still does. 🌿💫
