How to: Make Your Salon Go Viral in Fifteen Seconds
When it comes to social media marketing, having a post go viral is the ultimate success story – right?
And in 2023 the easiest way to go viral on social media is *drum roll please* TIKTOK.
Now, i know what you’re thinking – isn’t Tiktok just full of preteens, bored mums and unemployed millennials? Isn’t TikTok a bit… embarassing?

The Power of Workshops to Get Your Team Selling
As a Salon Owner, have you ever had one of your team members tell you that they don’t want to be a salesperson?

Do you feel rejected by social media? You put yourself out there (and it’s not easy) and you sit by your phone eagerly anticipating the likes and comments only to feel like you’ve been stood up in a bar.
Maybe you’ve been doing all the things, and you’ve seen some success but you’ve hit a plateau and you don’t know how to get that momentum back.
You try to work out whats going on so you make the weary journey into meta business suite to look at the numbers, but its all gibberish – what does any of it mean?
