If you’ve gone to get a blowout, you most likely stepped foot into a Drybar - founded by this week’s guest, Alli Webb. Drybar was a revolutionary concept that transformed the hair care industry by focusing exclusively on blowouts. What started as a single mobile service grew into a national brand with over 150 locations and a line of professional hair products. So why did Alli decide to sell the company? And how did selling the company lead to an identity crisis? On this episode of She Pivots, Alli answers that question plus: how Drybar started as a mobile business so she could “get out of the house for a couple hours”; how her professional life changed as a result of her son’s mental health struggles and loss of her mother to cancer; dealing with depression; taking her power back by writing her bestselling book, “The Messy Truth”; and candid insights into the ups and downs of entrepreneurship.



She Pivots was created by host Emily Tisch Sussman to highlight women, their stories, and how their pivot became their success. To learn more about Alli, follow us on Instagram @ShePivotsThePodcast or visit shepivotsthepodcast.com.
