From Undercover ”Cop” to Salon Owner: Building a Business Beyond the Chair w/ Alison Rodriguez

What happens when a former undercover police decoy becomes a salon owner, educator, and global business mentor?

In this episode, Misty Jayne sits down with Alison Rodriguez, co-founder of two successful salons and creator of Mastermynd Beauty, to talk about growth, reinvention, and building a sustainable career in the beauty industry.

Alison shares her unconventional journey—from working undercover with law enforcement as a teenager to opening and scaling multiple salons, training over 100 stylists, and eventually stepping into education, events, and global mentorship for salon owners and hairstylists.

This conversation is a must-listen if you’re a hairstylist or salon owner who:

1. Feels stuck doing the same thing and craving more growth
2. Is overwhelmed by social media, business decisions, or leadership
3. Wants to move beyond just “making money behind the chair”
4. Is curious about education, mindset, automation, and long-term sustainability
