THE WOODLANDS, TX -- The Woodlands Beauty Lounge Entrepreneurs Bring National Mastermind to Nashville: Empowering Creative Professionals Nationwide with Industry-Leading Insights

Drew and Rachel Thomas, co-founders of Babes in Business LIVE, are brought their highly successful beauty mastermind tour to Nashville, igniting the entrepreneurial spirit of salon owners and beauty professionals across the nation. Recognized as the fastest-growing beauty mastermind event in the world, Babes in Business helps salon owners scale their businesses, strengthen their leadership, and redefine their success. With over 200+ attendees, this Nashville stop was the biggest yet, offering powerful tools and insights to beauty entrepreneurs looking to elevate their businesses.

Local business icon Rachel Thomas, co-owner of Babes in Business and owner of The Beauty Lounge in The Woodlands and Conroe, has seen firsthand how the mastermind events can reshape the trajectory of salon owners. “Having spent years in the salon business, I’ve witnessed so many owners struggle to reach their goals,” said Thomas. “These masterminds have completely shifted the narrative. They provide the roadmap, guidance, and community needed to help owners transform their businesses and achieve incredible growth.”

Joining the event's prestigious lineup is Monette Smith also from The Woodlands, TX, the powerhouse publicist and marketing coach behind Pink Poodle PR powered by PR Marketing, LLC, with over two decades of experience in media and public relations. Smith, a key figure in branding and marketing, will share her insights from the stage. 'Helping beauty entrepreneurs understand the power of branding and strategic marketing is one of the most rewarding parts of my work. These masterminds create a space where entrepreneurs can not only scale their business but scale themselves into stronger, more confident leaders,' said Smith.

With her expertise in commercial real estate and a background in construction, Gibson offers a unique perspective on helping beauty entrepreneurs transition from leasing to owning their own spaces. 'The potential for beauty professionals to not only run their business but also own the property it operates from is a complete game-changer. At Babes in Business, we're showing them how real estate ownership can dramatically amplify their success and long-term growth,' Gibson shared during the panel discussion
