You love doing hair, You don't love how it makes you feel.
You’re great at your job. Your clients love you. Your books are full.
But your body feels different now.
You’re:
• Exhausted by mid-afternoon
• Achy after long days on your feet
• Wired at night but can’t wake up in the morning
• Skipping meals, then overeating later
• Wondering how long you can keep doing this pace
You don’t need more motivation.
You need support that actually works with salon life.
What We Build Together Behind the Chair
Your transformation starts here:
nutrition, movement and mindset work behind the chair.
Fuel
That Lasts
Learn how to eat in a way that keeps your blood sugar stable through long client days.
No complicated meal prep. No perfection required. Just simple salon-friendly systems that keep your energy steady instead of crashing.
Movement
That Fits
Build strength and reduce pain in the areas hairdressers struggle most back, shoulders, hips, low back and posture.
Short realistic movement that supports your body behind the chair. No gym life required.
Calm, Not Chaos
Stress and nervous system support designed for overstimulated salon days.
You will learn how to come home calm instead of wired, overwhelmed, and emotionally drained.
Energy you
can Count on
When your fuel, movement, and stress systems work together, your energy becomes steady, not unpredictable.
Fewer crashes. More focus in the salon. More life left when you get home.
Consistency > Perfection
We build small routines that survive your busiest seasons.
These habits support your body, steady your mind, and help you thrive behind the chair — without needing everything to be “perfect.”
My Coaching Method for Hairdressers.
My coaching method is built around four salon pillars that work for salon life. Not against it:
Fuel. Move. Regulate. Repeat.
Fuel:
We start with Fuel, creating salon-friendly eating rhythms that keep your blood sugar stable through long client days.
You’ll learn how to fuel your body without complicated meal prep or strict rules, so your energy stays steady instead of crashing.
Move:
Next, we focus on Move — short, effective strength and mobility work designed specifically for hairdressers.
These movements support your hips, back, shoulders, and posture so you feel stronger and reduce pain behind the chair.
Regulate:
Then we work on Regulation. Calming your nervous system after an overstimulating salon days.
You'll learn simple tools that help you come home less wired, reducing stress eating and feel more emotionally steady.
Repeat:
Finally we repeat, this is where the real transformation happens. Through weekly coaching and realistic habit tracking, we turn these small systems into second nature, so they support you even during your busiest seasons.
This rhythm, Fuel. Move. Regulate, is how we take you from exhausted and overwhelmed to steady, energized and resilient behind the chair.
Hello friend,
I’m Ashley Jo Gillan, hairstylist, certified health coach, and host of The Energized Hairdresser podcast. I help hair professionals build wellness systems that actually work behind the chair.
I know this world because I lived it. Long days on my feet. Skipped meals. Running on caffeine. Too drained at night to enjoy my life, but too wired to sleep well.
For years, I thought this was just part of the job. Then my health forced me to pay attention. I realized I didn’t need more willpower, I needed better systems that worked with salon life, not against it.
So I took everything I learned through coaching, functional health, and my own experience behind the chair, and built a method specifically for hairdressers.
Now I help stylists like you feel strong, steady, and energized — without extreme diets, intense workouts, or overhauling your entire life. You don’t have to keep running on empty.
And you don’t have to figure it out alone.
From Exhausted Stylist, To Energized Coach for Hairdressers.
Frequently Asked Questions.
I’m already so busy. How would I fit this in?
That’s exactly why this coaching works.
Everything we build is designed to fit into real salon days — not add hours to your schedule. The goal isn’t to give you more to do. It’s to help you feel better within the life you already have.
Do I need to follow a strict meal plan or diet?
No. This isn’t about rigid rules or perfection.
You’ll learn simple, flexible fuel systems that keep your energy steady without eliminating foods or tracking every bite.
What if I’ve tried to make changes before and couldn’t stick with it?
You’re not the problem — the system was.
Most plans aren’t built for hairdressers’ schedules and nervous systems. This coaching focuses on small, realistic habits that can survive your busiest seasons.
Is this just about food and exercise?
No. Energy isn’t just physical — it’s nervous system, stress, and recovery too. That’s why we work on Fuel, Move, and Regulate so your whole system is supported.
I’m exhausted, what if I don’t have the energy to work out?
We don’t start with intense workouts.
Movement is introduced in a way that supports your energy and reduces pain first. Many clients actually gain energy as their body feels more supported.
How long does it take to feel a difference?
Many clients notice improvements in energy and focus within the first few weeks. Long-term change comes from building sustainable systems that keep working even when life gets busy.
