The Vagaro Master Class series lets you adapt the knowledge and mindset of successful business owners and celebrity entrepreneurs to your own business goals. Two things that successful people in all industries have in common are financial savvy and a positive relationship with money. Having a life and career on our terms starts with these, and Paula Peralta helps people achieve them every day.
Paula is a successful salon owner & celebrity hair stylist, success coach and creative director at Paul Mitchell. Before this success, she experienced the same money-related stresses experienced by many individuals, living paycheck to paycheck with no financial plan to speak of. Until she completely reframed her relationship with money. In her Vagaro Master Class, Paula shares the system that not only led her to having (a lot) more money, but that continues to reveal new possibilities and pathways toward financial prosperity & fulfillment.
EP 1: What is My Financial Reality?
While it seems like a simple question, the answer might be complex and difficult for many people to contend with. But the answer, according to Paula, can reveal a lot about our decision making and choices—and that’s where it all starts.
From there, Paula guides us up the initial steps toward creating the financial reality we want, connecting creative energy and joy to generating money. She draws from her own experiences as a young (and broke) hair stylist new to Los Angeles, including how trying sushi for the first time revealed to her how others’ points of view shape our outlook, habits and life.
From this revelation comes the second big question Paula wants us to answer: Whose reality am I functioning from, anyway?
A question is always the catalyst for change—it sparks creation, and that’s where the magic happens. –Paula Peralta
EP 2: The Cost of Creating Our Lives
It’s not the how; it’s the cost. This step was the turning point for Paula during her own journey. She shares her simple method of revealing the cost of the lives we want, and how to differentiate hindering expenses from things that bring us joy. Money, Paula reminds us, follows joy.
The equation is simple: Once we are clear on the outflow of resources, we become clear on the cost of living joyfully. That number, in dollars, is what we strive for. Paula guides us through this exercise, recounting the first time she completed it...and far exceeded her own expectations.
Planning is bringing the future to the present so you can do something about it now.

EP 3: What Action is Required to Create Your Financial Reality?
Paula guides us through an exercise that summons the energy associated with every aspect of living our lives joyfully. Tapping into this energy gives us the full picture of exactly what we want in our financial reality.
Once we’ve discovered this, she dives into the actions required to actualize it, including creating new revenue streams from skills we’ve always had, but never tapped into. Paula shares how she accomplished this when the pandemic closed her salon in 2020. Her side venture was so successful that it outearned her primary business.
The answer isn’t always linear, but if you’re willing to ask the question, it’s going to open up all the possibilities.
