Stylist Spotlight: Q&A with Sophia Musto

Meet Sophia Musto, an independent hair stylist born into a family of artists from beauty professionals to painters. She describes her passion as her client relationships mixed with some hair painting. Sophia believes that once you have mastered your zone of genius - that is when you truly start growing and advancing your skills.

“One of my biggest AHA moments as a stylist was when I became independent and hired a mentor, I could crush my goals! Having community support is so important in your business. You don't have to feel alone.”

She has been perfecting the art of hair painting and hair shaping since 1999 and will be Celebrating 22 years this year.

Her advice to aspiring stylists is to not be afraid to ask any questions. No one is going to think less of you, because you asked for help. Everyone had to start somewhere and remember you aren’t alone on this journey.

“I joined the Beauty Collective because I wanted to be part of the change in the beauty industry. Sometimes when we have uncomfortable conversations we can learn so much from one another. I had no clue what an implicit bias was before joining the beauty collective, and after each session, I had a new takeaway. I wanted to have confidence that my salon space was an inclusive community for all.”

Sophia believes that excuses aren’t going to get you anywhere and that you need to understand that no one is perfect. You need to own your mistakes and learn from it.

Fun Fact Sophia's most recent food obsession has been Korean Beef Bulgogi.  Try some Korean Beef Bulgogi here, it’s said to be “Damn Delicious”.
