Tera from Beauty Cult Canada joins us to talk about something that’s affecting every beauty professional right now: rising prices. We break down what’s really happening with tariffs, how it’s impacting beauty product costs in Canada, and what that means for your bottom line.

Tera’s shares what triggered her recent decision to raise prices, what the hidden costs of importing are, and how it’s not just about profit, it’s about survival. We also get into how estheticians and spa owners can talk to clients about their own price increases, and ways to manage the shift without losing trust or sales.

This episode is a must-listen if you're wondering why your supplier prices are changing, and what you can do to protect your business.

What’s one thing you can do to prep your clients for a price increase?
