Owning a beauty business looks glamorous from the outside, but behind the perfectly polished façade lies a world of wild clients, staff dramas, endless cups of cold coffee, and a whole lot of laughter (with the occasional tear).
With over 30 years in the beauty industry and experience running everything from small salons to a million-dollar day spa, Carol Frieling takes you behind the scenes of salon life. Equal parts witty and wise, this memoir captures the hilarious highs, the chaotic lows, and the real lessons learned along the way.
Behind the Beauty Mirror is more than just a peek into the treatment room; it’s an honest, charming, and laugh-out-loud story of resilience, reinvention, and the reality of chasing big beauty business dreams.
Whether you’re a fellow beauty boss, a budding entrepreneur, or just someone who loves a good story well told, Carol invites you to pull up a chair, grab a glass (or two), and enjoy the comedy and chaos of life behind the beauty mirror.
