Maria McCool is one of the most talented and successful hair stylists in the world and she’s on the show this week to empower you to feel beauty brave. It’s easy to change the way you look on the outside, but it’s harder to change the way you feel about yourself on the inside. I’m here with Maria to tell you that even though you may not believe it yet, you’re beautiful inside and out. It can be hard to see it because we’re so critical of ourselves, but you are one decision away from changing your life. So get ready to level up your life this week with Maria McCool.  And stay tuned to the end of the show when I give you more details about how I recently lost so much weight. This is one of my favorite quotes from this week’s episode: "That's what makeovers do. They don't make you over. They empower you over." – Kim Gravel.  In this episode: How Maria knew her calling How Maria started her businesses How to achieve success at any age How to redirect negative self-talk Hair care tips for men and women More details about my weight loss routine Maria McCool is the Founder and CEO of Calista, a brand that makes hair products and tools for quick, effective transformations that bring out the best in all of their uniquely beautiful customers. She is an entrepreneur, on-air presenter, professional hairstylist, and huge believer in self-love. Maria opened Calista Salon & Spa in 1989, when she was just 23 years old. After years of hearing complaints from frustrated clients about wanting to have the salon experience at home, she decided to create it for them. Calista Salon grew into a brand and launched on QVC with major success in 2007. Since then, Calista has continued to expand, providing hair products and tools to women across the nation and perpetuating Maria’s mission to help all women love themselves and feel brave about their beauty, or as she calls it, BeautyBrave.
