MASTER OF HER OWN DESTINY!

Kori Phylow

Meet our new Business Development Manager for Texas and Oklahoma! Hairstylist hype girl and lover of all things beauty BUSINESS; Kori Phylow.

A passionate hairstylist, an advocate for the beauty business, and an enthusiastic supporter of those around her, Kori embodies the spirit of empowerment and innovation.

Hey y’all, I’m Kori!, and if you want to understand me in two words, they would be Passionate and Caffeinated.

My mission in life is to uplift and energize everyone around me, fostering a positive environment that encourages growth and success. I accomplish this through various avenues, including Salon Suite Coaching with “The Headstrong Mindset,” serving as a cheer coaching consultant, working as a stylist for my amazing clients at Headstrong Salon LLC, and balancing the wonderful chaos of raising my boys.

I thrive in an atmosphere of organized energy, where staying busy allows me to harness my creativity and channel it toward empowering those around me. Whether it’s through guidance, motivation, or a supportive ear, my goal is to help others realize their potential in the areas they are passionate about.

Outside of my profession, you can find me enjoying a Sunday afternoon watching American football (Go Cardinals!), spending quality time with my family, or indulging in some salty snacks - my ultimate guilty pleasure!

When I first met Leyton House, I was struck by how closely our business morals and values aligned. I felt a genuine pride in our partnership. Fast forward three years, and it’s clear that it was time for me to officially join the team.

I had finally found my family and my home away from home. The journey we have embarked upon together has been nothing short of transformative, impacting both my personal and professional life in remarkable ways. I've had the honor of representing Leyton House on stage at two USA Premier Beauty Shows, where I connected with professionals to share our vision for beauty and business innovation. Being named the 2021 Runner-Up for “Austin Business Woman of the Year” was a moment of immense pride, affirming my commitment to excellence and the positive influence of my work.

I’m equally proud of our salon's recognition as a nominee for “Best Hair Salon of Round Rock” TX, two consecutive years. This accolade speaks volumes about our quality and the loyalty of our wonderful clients. My dedication to empowerment and mental wellness within the beauty community inspired me to launch “The Headstrong Mindset Podcast,” where I explore relevant topics, aiming to inspire and elevate others journeys.

I have taken great pride in publishing the “Hairstylist Survival Planner” for 2023 and 2024 - an essential tool designed to help hairstylists navigate industry challenges while planning for success. I am excited to share that I am hard at work on 2025's planner, which will be an even more invaluable resource.

Looking back, I recognize that each achievement represents not just a personal milestone but a reflection of the spirit and hard work of the Leyton House team. Together, we have cultivated a culture of creativity and support that empowers us to push boundaries and chase our dreams.

As each year passes, I eagerly anticipate what lies ahead, knowing that our incredible community will continue to inspire and uplift not only one another but everyone we touch in the beauty industry.

I am truly honored to be a part of this journey with you all and am excited to support each of you as you pursue your unique path.

Here’s to a future filled with growth, empowerment, and shared successes at Leyton House!
