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?

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. 

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!). 

We want to feel confident as the leader, and know how and when to have those hard conversations whilst also being able to have fun with your team.  

But nobody tells you how to do it all, how to be the ‘fun’ boss whilst also being the boss that gets stuff done so wages can be paid and clients are happy – for a lot of Salon Owners, it’s something we just have to learn on the job…

But, it doesn’t have to be that hard. 

You can do it all! You can know how to have those conversations we all avoid and have clear meetings with your team whilst also still having fun at the same time. 

You just need to act like you’re driving a speed boat, where every conversation, meeting, or book you read can change the path of the boat for the better…

Today on The Salon Owners Collective Podcast, Larissa is joined by Penny Holden. To chat about The Key to Leadership: Meetings, Power and Difficult Conversations

Before we jump into 2024 and map out our goals and dreams, let’s take a moment to stop and reflect on what an incredible year 2023 has been! 

So it’s only fitting that we reflect on some of the conversations we’ve had over the last year on the Salon Owners Collective Podcast. We’ve done nearly 50 episodes, welcomed over 20 new guests onto the podcast and we’ve delved into some great topics this year.  

But amongst all of the amazing conversations and lessons we’ve learnt, 5 stand out from the rest. These are conversations that not only I loved, but you guys really engaged with too. 

Today on The Salon Owners Collective Podcast, Larissa reflects on the year with the 5 Biggest Lessons of 2023 – it may even help you plan your goals for 2024!
