Ep. 297: Inside B.Class: How Beauty Pros Become Booked, Branded and Bankable

In this episode of the Friends in Beauty Podcast, I sit down with Sonia Rodriguez to dive deep into B.Class, the transformational workshop she created with Tiyana Robinson to help beauty pros become booked, branded and bankable in 2026.

Sonia and I talk about the real challenges beauty pros are facing right now. Burnout from being “booked and busy,” undercharging, unclear branding, inconsistent clients, and the pressure to grow without a real strategy. Sonia shares her own story of going from $40 makeup appointments to building a profitable, aligned beauty brand with purpose and intention.

Inside this conversation, we break down what B.Class really teaches and why so many beauty professionals are joining the community. Sonia explains the importance of stepping into your Beauty CEO Era, planning your year with clarity, and learning how to position your artistry so that you attract clients who value your work at a premium level.

If you have been feeling stuck in survival mode, unsure about your next steps, or ready to elevate your branding, pricing and confidence, this episode will show you why B.Class exists and how it can shift everything in your beauty business.
