The 5 Christmas Cracks About to Break Your Salon (and How to Fix Them)
You either love Christmas in a salon, or you hate it. Most Salon CEOs feel both.
With six weeks to go, this is the moment to decide how December is going to go, before it just arrives.
Larissa Macleman, Founder of Salon Owners Collective, and Joel Bouzaid, SOC’s Boardroom Coach, unpack the five things every Salon CEO needs to get ahead of before Christmas: your team, your book, the money, January, and you. Larissa shares the maths she ran on her own salon that changed how she booked the busiest weeks of the year. And Joel takes you inside the 4-2-4, the system he runs with Salon Mastery clients to get them prepared for the new year and everything that comes with it.
Key Topics:
- Why your team already has a story about Christmas, and what happens if you don’t rewrite it
- The two questions that leave your team clearer and more confident before the busy season hits
- The seesaw between demands and resources, and what tips it into burnout
- Why the average spend per client can drop when the book is fullest
- The “squeezies”, and why they cost more than they make
- The 4-2-4: four weeks, two weeks, four weeks, and what each one is for
