It’s no secret that suite rental salons are becoming more and more popular. As a Salon Owner, you probably already know this.

Now, I know it may appeal to many, but is it more beneficial than having your own team?

This is something I get asked a lot by Salon Owners… it’s confusing to know which option is right for your Salon!

So, I wanted to chat with someone who could shed light on this question and give their honest answer to it, to help Salon Owners know if ditching team-based Salons is the right choice.

Jason Everett currently runs the ‘High-Performance Salon Academy’ in America, where he works with many Salon and Beauty companies across the world.

In this episode, Jason will share with you his amazing insight on what works, and what doesn’t in both salon suites and team-based salons, so you can feel confident in which option is best.

Growing your Salon: it’s challenging. Can you relate?

Things are forever evolving in Salons; Owners have to constantly adapt systems and processes. Just like any evolution, things start to break. Perhaps what worked before, no longer will. Adapting is not always easy, but it does teach us fundamental lessons in return. Lessons, which I believe, are key to any successful Salon growth. 

If you’re anything like I was, you never feel like your Salon is ‘complete’, always striving for improvement – and that’s great! Improving, however, means things can’t stay the same. There have to be constant shifts from ‘norm’ to ‘new’.

Here at Salon Owners Collective, we could not relate more to this. That’s why I’ve decided to bring in one of my very own –  team leader and operations manager, Suzy.

Having been with us for over 3 years now, she’s witnessed and learned so many valuable lessons while helping grow the business to where it is today.

She’s chosen to share her two biggest lessons around team management which I know any Salon Owner will find helpful. 

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…
