Who says you can’t have it all? Alli Webb proves otherwise, having seamlessly transitioned from a stay-at-home mom to a powerhouse entrepreneur who truly does have it all right now (her words)—and with great hair, too. Keyword: seamlessly. Don’t be fooled—it hasn’t always been easy.

Alli Webb is the founder of the iconic blowout salon chain Drybar, a New York Times bestselling author, a successful businesswoman, and a mother of two. She expanded Drybar beyond the salons with a successful product line available in major retailers like Sephora and Ulta and sold the brand for a staggering $255 million in 2019.

In today’s episode, we chatted about Alli’s latest book, The Messy Truth, her mindset shift from managing a single location to scaling Drybar to over 160 salons nationwide, and discussed the signs of burnout that ultimately led to what she calls “her great depression.” Plus, Alli pulls back the curtain of what was really happening behind closed doors during the peak of her success and she shares a sneak peek about what’s next for her (spoiler: a new haircare business!).
