Alli Webb never expected to grow a mobile blow-out business into a multimillion-dollar hair care empire when she first went to beauty school in her late 20s. But over a decade later, she's done just that.

Webb is the cofounder of Drybar, the hair salon chain known for exclusively offering blow-outs. She launched the business with her then-husband and her brother in 2010. In the decade since, Drybar has expanded significantly, with over 100 locations nationwide and a product line carried in major beauty retailers like Sephora.

Now, Webb, who had a background in PR before switching careers to hairdressing, is ready to launch her next venture: Squeeze, a massage chain modeled on Drybar that allows clients to book and pay for their massage online for a quick, easy, and cashless experience.

In an interview with Business Insider, the 45-year-old beauty entrepreneur talks about her two businesses, how she got her start in hair care, and what advice she has for aspiring entrepreneurs.
