Alli Webb is an American entrepreneur, author, and lifestyle influencer. After training as a hairdresser under some of the best in the business, Alli quickly realized a significant gap in her local beauty market for hair blowouts.
She seized her market position by co-founding Drybar, a chain of salons offering exclusively blowout services. Since opening her first location in 2010, there have been 125 salons across the US and Canada.
In 2013, Alli took her brand to the next level by curating a line of Drybar styling tools and products, which Sephora, Ulta, and Nordstrom now carry. In addition to running the brand, Alli is a New York Times bestselling author and podcast host. Fast Company named her one of the 100 most creative people in business; Fortune included her in its '40 under 40', and Marie Claire ranked her a top beauty expert.
Alli Webb's journey from hairdresser to the founder of a revolutionary beauty brand showcases her unparalleled entrepreneurial spirit and innovative mindset. Booking her as a speaker will provide your team or business with actionable insights on identifying market gaps and creating a successful brand from the ground up. Her experience and accolades, including being named one of the 100 most creative people in business, promise an inspiring and educational session that can ignite passion and drive in your audience.

No. PepTalk adds no booking fee, so you pay the speaker's fee and nothing beyond it. The service, from shortlist through to contracts and event-day logistics, is included. For repeat or multi-event bookings, PepTalk can agree preferential rates with your procurement team.
Share your event date, audience, format, objectives and budget, and PepTalk sends a hand-picked shortlist within 24 hours. Each suggestion comes with a profile, a fee and a recommendation on the strongest fit. Once you choose, PepTalk handles contracts, travel and logistics through to event day.
The typical fee range is the speaker's standard in-person fee in their home market, shown in their local currency. It moves with format, location, date and session length: virtual sessions and shorter slots usually cost less, while international travel and peak dates cost more. Send your brief to PepTalk and the team will confirm the exact fee in your currency.
Not all of them, and it makes no difference to your booking. PepTalk's network of 15,000+ speakers covers talent the team works with directly alongside speakers represented by agents and agencies worldwide. PepTalk approaches the speaker, negotiates the fee and handles contracting either way.
Three to six months ahead is comfortable for most events, and 12 months is better for large conferences, peak-season dates or one specific in-demand speaker. Shorter timelines are workable, and PepTalk regularly fills last-minute and replacement bookings within days. Availability is the constraint, so get in touch as soon as you have a date.
