Your Guide to the Ultimate Salon Takeover!

|

I’m sure at one point or another, you’ve thought about expanding your Salon business, but have you ever thought about taking over a Salon that already exists? 

This may sound scary, after all being the new face to a Salon environment and not knowing what to expect isn’t something we particularly like.

Even if you are the leader, you still feel the pressure of making a good impression…

In order for people to cooperate, they need to trust and respect their leader.

There are so many important factors to consider when purchasing a Salon, but I think one of the most important ones is your team.

In order to lead them well, you need to understand who they are.

The reality is, the Salon team is already established and you are walking in expecting them to follow your lead. 

So how do you take over a team the right way? Well, today I’m chatting with Vivo founders James & Lynden who have done this. Owning over 90 successful Salons across New Zealand, they share their insights into what it takes to do so. 

So let’s tune in to hear what they have to say…

What if I told you that the key to growing a Successful Salon is as simple as looking in the mirror? 

Now, I’m not saying that your dream Salon will magically appear if you look at yourself in the mirror and say ‘Tabitha’ three times. What I am saying is that you are the one who determines if your Salon is a success or not. 

I know it’s easy to get caught up in external factors like your team underperforming or clients no longer making bookings…

But, as Salon Owners, what we forget is that this is all in our control. 

Why don’t you like the way your team performs? Why aren’t clients making bookings? 

Really think about it…

The vision of running your own Salon is exciting … to begin with.

You get to be the leader and do things your way instead of coming under someone else’s authority. Sounds like the dream, right?

But as you know, the reality of this has its challenges.

It’s all good and well having a vision but actually making it happen takes skill and steps to get there.

Protect Your Salon When She Says “I’m Leaving”

There are a few questions that I often get asked in my work with Salon Owners…

But without a doubt, one of the most common, and most stressed questions sounds like this:
“My team member is leaving… and they’re opening a Salon down the road! HELP!”

OMG… I get the pain, this is a seriously stressful situation.

And there are actually quite a few problems like this that crop up for Salon Owners… like, i’m sure as you read this you can picture a time when a similar stressful situation has happened to you.

I think the smartest way to deal with these types of fireballs is to future proof your business. Know your rights, legally, and make sure you’re protected where possible, by law, against any future problems.
