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…

Putting Yourself Out There to Achieve Salon Success
Being a Salon Owner can feel scary at times!
It can feel like there’s no one there to guide you when things are uncertain…. or even to celebrate you when things go right!
Salon Owners are often afflicted with this feeling of loneliness or anxiety… we feel alone in business and like there’s no one around us who understands!
That’s why I wanted to bring ultra-successful Salon Owner Kate Henderson on my Podcast today, so that we could chat about all things Salon Owner Success.
In this episode, Kate will share her success tips and why it’s important to put yourself out there in order to truly get that feeling of recognition you deserve.
What To Do When Team Members Leave- 3 Step Plan
When team members leave you, it can feel like you’ve been betrayed…
Like… “How dare they?!”… right? I totally understand that feeling of rejection when one of your team leaves, especially when they move to another Salon down the road!
We all want our staff members to be as invested in our Salon Business as we are… and we can easily forget that sometimes this just isn’t the reality.
Should we expect our team to be as invested in us?
I have a few opinions on this… plus an action plan that i’ve put together all around what to do when a team member leaves.
We must stand up and take action – get what’s ours, make ends meet, grow our business and get on with life…
