How many times do you talk to your accountant? Just during tax time, right? And then maybe once or twice more throughout the year when you’re making a big business decision.

What would you do if your team was offered a pay rise at another Salon? During a time where it feels like everyone is leaving to go solo… retaining your team is crucial.

Your clients are secretly unhappy… How many times have YOU gone to a Salon and thought “they just don’t do it exactly how I like!”?

And yes, at the end of…

I wanted to sell my Salon 5 times! It’s normal for Salon Owners to feel like selling when times are tough because it can be a huge load on your mental health… even at the best of times.

“Clients are spending less (or not coming at all) and the clients that do come… never rebook!” Have you ever looked at your team's column and it’s empty but then suddenly, almost overnight, they’re fully booked?

My Salon just won’t grow… Have you ever felt stuck in your Salon’s growth? You feel like you’re doing all the right things… you’re hiring rockstar stylists and therapists, you’re posting on social media, you’re hitting KPIs… but the needle just won’t move?

Everyone is going solo… As an industry, we’ve seen a huge shift in stylists and therapists leaving to go solo. Why wouldn’t they?

What is your WHY? As Salon Owners, we wear many hats; we’re managing our team, growing our business, serving clients, looking at spreadsheets and talking to your accountant and… wearing all of those hats, can start to feel overwhelming.

As Salon Owners, we always do our best to make our clients feel relaxed and welcome in our Salon… right? But, we might’ve missed something.

And… have you asked your t…

You recruit average, you get average! That makes sense, right? But as an industry, we still post the same ‘We’re Hiring’ ad and hope that our next rockstar stylist or therapist is going to see it and walk through the door! But, we’re always surprised when nobody ever responds and we immediately jump to the idea of ‘we’re in a hiring crisis!’. But w…

You are too fat to be seen here…. As an industry (and the world), we’ve made efforts to be more inclusive.

How would you feel if one of y…

Sharing stories with your team could save your Salon thousands of dollars… in fact, it’s saving some companies billions! You feel like you’re telling your team the same thing over and over again.

Peach fuzz, sparkle foils, and packages are a Salon Owners new best friend… sort of!

We want to feel confident as the leader, and know how and when to have those hard conversations whilst also being able to have fun with your team.
