5 Questions You Need To Ask Your Team

What do you expect from me as your leader?

Trust me, this question is not as scary as it sounds… in fact, asking this question can help transform your team culture! When you ask these types of questions, you’re finding out how your team feels. You may learn what is or isn’t working and what they need from you.

Because you can’t build a WINNING culture when you don’t actually know how your team feels…

Today on the Salon Owners Collective Podcast, we’re giving you exclusive access to one of our Salon Mastery Intensive events from last year where Larissa breaks down the 5 Questions You Need To Ask Your Team!  

How She Got Comfortable With Being Uncomfortable

Being uncomfortable is what makes successful Salon Owners…

You get used to taking risks, trying new things, having those tough conversations with your team (and clients!) and before you know it, those uncomfortable situations begin to feel… comfortable!

So comfortable that even when friends, family and clients are asking “Aren’t you freaking about opening a Salon in the middle of a pandemic”… you don’t even flinch.

That is what happened to today’s Salon Owners Collective Podcast guest Kelly Manu, the winner of the New Zealand Salon of the Year 2023 award and founder of UNA! 

Today’s episode is How She Got Comfortable With Being Uncomfortable

5 Meetings that Rule Them All

We’re too busy, we all work different hours, I’m not sure what to talk about…

These are common feelings Salon Owners have when it comes to meetings. But what if I told you there were 5 different types of meetings you should be incorporating this year?

I know, 5 meetings sounds crazy! But you are not going to spend your life in meetings… if you plan them right. These 5 meetings will save you a lot of stress, 

miscommunication and will even help with productivity…

This episode of the Salon Owners Collective podcast is a snippet of Larissa speaking at a Salon Owners Collective Intensive event. So, here are the 5 Meetings that Rule Them All – are you ready to start scheduling meetings?

Success, Failure and Starting Over – Lessons of a Salon Owner

Running a Salon is hard. You’re juggling all of these balls and you feel like you can’t catch a break because if you do,  all of the balls will hit the ground! And although there are times when we can add another ball without any problem, sometimes we just need to stop, pick the balls up and start again. 

And that’s ok!

It can be scary going from lots of growth with a full appointment book to seeing the numbers and thinking ‘how am I supposed to pay my team’.  But, you never know where the next opportunity lies… 

Today on The Salon Owners Collective Podcast, Larissa is joined by Kate Jarrett, founder of Hair by Loxy’s to discuss Success, Failure and Starting Over – Lessons of Salon Owner. 

3 Things Salon Owners Should Be Focussed on in 2024

Our team is leaving to go solo, profits are dropping, and we’ve hit the limit with pricing. We heard this a lot in 2023. 

But remember, opportunity always comes out of crisis – and we’ve been through a lot as an industry (and the world) over the past few years. 

2024 is a new chapter and a new opportunity for us to grow our Salon and make a killing in the industry. 

You can have an incredible team, and great clients, get paid well, and do what you love, all whilst not overworking…

Although in this new chapter, a lot is changing, it doesn’t need to be a challenge – it’s an opportunity. 

We just need to focus on what we can control. 

Today on The Salon Owners Collective Podcast, Larissa chats about the 3 things all Salon Owners should be focussed on in 2024 – you may even join the $1 Million Salon Club (or $2 million, or even $5 million!).
