What if you could see exactly what’s happening in your salon… in real time?

Joel Bouzaid reveals the 5 shifts AI will create for Salon CEOs, and what you must fix now to win.

This isn’t about robots cutting hair. It’s about what happens when your salon becomes fully visible… your numbers, your team performance, your systems… all in real time.

Because AI isn’t here to replace you or your team.
It’s here to separate the salons who are organised and decisive… from the ones who are still guessing.

If your salon feels even a little messy behind the scenes, this is your wake-up call.

3 Reasons You Need to Listen

1. You’ll understand the 5 operational shifts that will change salons over the next 3 years (and how to stay ahead).
2. You’ll learn why your team won’t rely on you the same way anymore.
3. You’ll see where your salon might be exposed and what to tighten immediately (so AI works for you, not against you).

One of the most frustrating experiences as a Salon CEO is telling your team what to do… and watching it slowly disappear.

The consultation script? Not followed.
The rebooking process? Slipping again.
The retail conversation? Gone after 3 days.

Welcome to the “professional repeater” problem.

In this episode, Larissa Macleman is joined by coach Greta Veint to unpack why salon systems often fail to stick inside a business.

After seven years coaching Salon CEOs inside Salon Mastery, Greta sees the same frustration come up again and again.

Owners create the system.
Teams start strong.
And then… everything slowly fades.

This conversation dives into the real reason salon systems fail and the three elements that transform systems into living habits inside your team.

If you’re tired of repeating yourself and want a team that follows the systems you’ve built, this episode will shift how you lead your salon

Because your systems should create freedom…

Not more frustration.

3 Reasons You Need to Listen

Most Salon CEOs are stuck being the walking, talking version of the manual no one reads. Larissa breaks down a simpler, smarter way to build systems your team will actually use, so your salon can grow without you being the answer to everything.

You wrote it all down.

The process.
The steps.
The expectations.
Maybe it’s beautifully laid out and colour-coded and you were quite proud of it, honestly.

And yet…
Your team still comes to you!
They ask the same question, do it differently anyway, and then wait for you to step in.

So now you’re stuck!

In this episode, you’ll discover why the traditional way of creating systems keeps you trapped, even when you’ve already done the work.

3 Reasons You Need to Listen

1. Why some salon teams adopt systems instantly… and others ignore or even resist them.
2. The one approach that makes systems actually stick.
3. What needs to change before your salon can truly run without you.

The post Did I Build My Salon Systems the Wrong Way? appeared first on Salon Owners Collective.

If your salon still relies on you for every decision, the problem may not be your team: it may be your systems.

In this episode, Larissa Macleman and Joel Bouzaid unpack how repeatable salon systems create consistency, accountability and true freedom for salon owners ready to step into CEO leadership.

🚨 “Can I swap my shift?”
🚨“How do I do this consultation again?”
🚨 “Hey, can I take Saturday off?”

With every question you get…
There’s another decision you need to make… and the business lands right back on your shoulders.

This is an (exhausting) sign that your salon is missing 1 critical part.

3 Reasons You Need to Listen

1. The easy process that frees you from decision fatigue
2. Why most Salon systems or Manuals die in a drawer collecting dust, and how to actually engage your team
3. The simple shift that transforms you as a leader.. not lost in the noise of your team

Salon CEOs don’t burn out because they lack passion.
They burn out because they built a business that still depends entirely on them.
Systems change that.
And the moment you install the right ones, everything gets a little easier

The post How to Rebuild & Lead a High-Performing Salon Team (After Losing It All) appeared first on Salon Owners Collective.

If you’ve ever felt frustrated that your team just doesn’t “get it,” you’re not alone. You give instructions, you explain things once, and yet—mistakes happen, tasks are forgotten, and you find yourself constantly fixing things that should’ve been done right the first time.

It’s exhausting. It slows down your business. And honestly? It makes you feel like you’re carrying the whole damn thing on your own shoulders.

The truth is, assumptions are killing your leadership. You assume your team knows what to do, that they remember what you taught them months ago, and that common sense is, well, common. But it’s not. And that’s where the breakdown happens.

In this episode, I’m sharing a leadership lesson I learned the hard way—while painting my kitchen. Because just like in your salon, a little bit of extra communication and planning up front can save you a whole lot of frustration later on.

You don’t have to keep repeating yourself, micromanaging, or feeling like the only one who can do things right. Tune in and find out how to lead your team with clarity, confidence, and ease.

Here is Why Your Team Isn’t Meeting Your Expectations

Here is why you should listen to the full episode:

1. Learn why your team isn’t performing the way you want—and what’s really missing.
2. Discover the key mistake you’re making that’s creating more work for everyone (including yourself).
3. Find out the simple leadership shift that will set your team up for success and make your business run smoother.

You are in a unique position.

As a stylist or therapist, you build deep, trusted relationships with your clients. You see them at their most vulnerable, hear their personal stories, and sometimes, notice things that others don’t.

But what if you suspect something is wrong? What if a client—or even a team member—is silently struggling with something far more serious than just a bad day?

Domestic abuse is more common than you think, and during this episode, we’re diving into the crucial role salon owners and professionals can play in being a safe space for those who need it most.

Our guest, Liz McKeon, shares how she became the UK and Irish ambassador for Shearhaven—a program designed to train salon professionals on recognizing the signs of domestic abuse. More importantly, she reveals why this matters now more than ever.

This conversation isn’t easy, but it’s necessary. If you want to be more than just a salon owner and truly make a difference in people’s lives, this episode is a must-listen.

This is How Salons Can Help Combat Domestic Abuse

Here is why you should listen to the full episode:

1. Learn why salons are a powerful safe haven for those experiencing domestic abuse.
2. Discover the hidden signs that someone might be in danger—even if they’re not saying a word.
3. Understand the simple but critical steps you can take to offer support without overstepping your role.

2025 is bringing a big change to our industry! If you don’t get on board and adopt new technology, have a clear vision and act with precision then you will be left behind. The gap between Salon’s that are struggling and Salon’s that are thriving on the Fast-Track will get bigger.

What do you want your Salon to look like when you’re ready to sell? 

Selling your Salon is an emotional back and forth process… should I sell? Should I stay? How much is my Salon worth? What would I even do next? Omg this is all too hard and stressful,l I’m just going to keep doing what I’m doing!

It’s a process that many Salon Owners start many times! I seriously thought about selling my Salon 5 times before I actually did. But, each time, I wasn’t really ready and it wasn’t actually the right time for me to sell… until it was!

I am very excited to be sharing with you this chat that I had with a very good friend of mine, Janine, who a couple of months ago sold her Salon!

Anyone else working 40+ hours a week in December so by the time Christmas Day comes around… you have to sneak off for a cheeky nap? 

But, imagine if you didn’t have to do that! It’s Christmas Day and you’re feeling alive (rather than totally exhausted) and you can actually enjoy spending time with your friends and family without your eyes getting heavy at 1pm! 

Even better… you can actually use the time between Christmas and New Year to plan your Salons growth for 2025! Because when you exhaust yourself in December, by the time you open your doors in January… you haven’t even thought about your goals for the New Year.

Which is where The 4-2-4 Business Blueprint™ comes in handy! When you set yourself up for 4 weeks of success in December, you can take 2 weeks of to relax and plan the next year so you kick off the first 4 weeks of 2025 with a BANG!

The post 3 Ways to Successfully Navigate the Christmas Cray-Cray appeared first on Salon Owners Collective.

“I’m addicted to the chaos of being a stylist”

Have you ever felt like that before? Where you thrive off the chaos in a Salon… especially around Christmas! You know, the back to back clients, squeezy appointments, the excitement when you smash your targets and just the overall buzz that happens in December.

For many stylists, this addiction to chaos extends far beyond just December… 

Which, in time, can be EXHAUSTING and lead to burnout. When you’re living in a state of chaos, you mentally and physically feel totally drained. 

But when you have the tools to manage stress (and avoid the chaos) and set boundaries with your team, clients and family… especially around Christmas, exhaustion and burnout become a distant memory! 

If you want to thrive this Christmas and actually have the energy to spend time with your family, you need to implement these tactics…

Which is why I am super excited to be sharing this chat I had with Hayley, The Resilient Hairdresser. Hayley knows all about struggling with and then overcoming burnout!

“Frick… I’m exhausted”

When you first open your Salon, you’re excited! Excited to be your own boss, have your own space, your own team… and make your own money! But the excitement wears off and 3 years down the track you feel completely exhausted. You begin to feel like a glorified stylist that also has the stress paying people. 

I felt like this too. And it was hard because you feel emotionally drained, you’re working 60 hours a week and you’re not growing!

But the difference between a $1 Million Salon and a $500K Salon is…. they have skill… 

The skills to know when to Step Up, Out and Off the Floor!

The E Myth – Michael Gerber

The post Stepping Up, Stepping Out and Stepping Off the Floor appeared first on Salon Owners Collective.

December is often your busiest month… every single client you have ever served comes to your Salon right before Christmas!

Which is great, but it means January and February are very quiet!

And it can be quite stressful. You’re on a high, just had your best December and then you kick off the New Year very gappy and struggling to get clients booked in.

But what if there was something that you could do to boost your Salon’s cash flow by $20 – 30k in January and February? Something that is easy to implement, you could kick it off in December when you’re talking to your 5-star clients and it’s not going to feel like a massive project that you’re starting at the end of the year…

I’m talking about memberships!

This is something that I implemented into my Salon (I actually did it because we wanted to renovate!) and I loved it…

So it was fitting that I bring Shortcuts co-founder Jo, back on the Salon Owners Collective Podcast as she was the one that actually told me about this strategy all those years ago!

Here is The One Thing That Will Increase Your Cash Flow in January

Only 6% of your followers will see your Instagram post! 

Crazy, right? We put so much time and effort into taking the perfect picture and writing the perfect caption… and then almost none of our followers get to see it! And what’s even crazier… it takes 6 months of emails or DMs before a client even books their first appointment with you.

Marketing seems like a lot of work to have to wait 6 months for one new client!

But what if there’s something you could do to make your social media marketing more effective? The best part, once you’ve set it up… it does all the work of ‘warming up’ followers to become clients so that you don’t have too!

I’m talking about automating EVERYTHING; comments, DMs, REPLIES to DMs! Automations change the way you do your marketing. I’ve loved and used automatons for years… in fact, you may have received an automated message from me before… 

If you want to grow your Salon and attract new clients, automations is the way to go!

I am very excited to be sharing with you this chat that I had with Georgia, a Marketing superstar and owner of SalonBot about all things automations.

This is the Turning Followers Into Lifelong Clients… 

Here is why you should listen to the full episode:

1. Learn what is an automation

I can’t go on holiday… what if someone is sick? Or a client complains? And what will my team do if a pipe bursts?! 

The thought of leaving your team can be super stressful and that’s before you’ve even booked any flights! But sometimes, a holiday away from your team is actually the best thing you can do for your business… 

You come back feeling refreshed, with new fresh ideas on how you’re going to elevate your Salon (I mean… it’s hard to completely shut off and not think about your business!). And your team has a new sense of confidence that they can keep everything running smoothly without you. 

But it takes some time to get to a place where you trust your team enough to leave them for a week (or maybe 6!) and that they feel prepared and ready to know what to do to manage daily operations.  

Salon Mastery Boardroom Coach, Joel and I are sharing the 5 steps to prepare your team for your holiday! 

Here is Salon Owners Need Holidays Too!

Here is why you should listen to the full episode:

1. Learn the MEDAL framework
2. Understand how to prepare your team for your holiday
3. Know how to give your team the tools to succeed

She had $70K in her everyday account but still tried to barter! 

Everyone may be talking about the economic crisis, but not everyone is affected by the economic crisis. Your clients can afford to come to the Salon and pay full price for their service… and buy a product or two before they leave. 

And if they’re not, it’s because you’re not marketing your value!

Have you stopped buying fresh flowers for reception? Moved from shelves full with products to only a handful for clients to buy? Are you complaining with your client about how expensive everything is right now?

All of these changes (although they may seem small) are eating away at your value. Instead of communicating that you’re a Salon that people can come to relax and feel pampered… you’re telling people that you’re struggling too. 

For clients to prioritise and value you and your Salon, you need to move to a Marketing Mindset…

I am very excited to be sharing with you this chat that I had with Milly, a Salon Owner who’s marketing mindset took her $15K Salon to $60K, 6 months after she bought it!

Anyone else an overwhelmaholic? Like all you do is stress about work, creating a winning culture and how you’re going to pay the fricken bills!  

And yes it would be nice if you could relax, have three massages a week and learn how to chill out… but it’s not that simple. How can you figure out what’s overwhelming you when EVERYTHING seems overwhelming. 

So instead you let the overwhelm continue and you get this weird internal feeling that everything is irritating you! Then one day it randomly comes out, like when the car door won’t shut properly… so now you’re shitty at the car door. Or are you?

But if you don’t take that first step… your business will never move forward! You need to get your Salon back into momentum.

Do you stay awake at night thinking about cash? 

I know I have definitely had many sleepless nights thinking about how I’m going to be able to pay the team, how am I going to pay the bills… how am I going to pay MY bills at home? It can be a non-stop conversation that goes on in our heads!

But, I have the answer to solving all of your money problems… and it’s not redesigning another package or offering a discount… 

In fact, the answer is something that a lot of other industries do already… including the gym and Netflix! Memberships are the secret to moving your Salon forward, helping you to plan (and see) your Salon’s future growth.

Memberships will also help you rebook and retain 5-Star Clients™!

I used to worry that people would judge me for being successful…

But over time, I learnt that it’s ok if people judge because money makes the world go around. I’m a big believer that profit is a choice. There are many decisions we make as a business owner that will ultimately impact whether or not we are profitable. And having a Million Dollar Mindset makes all the difference. 

And to grow your Salon… you NEED to have a Million Dollar Mindset.

In the Salon Mastery Program, I like to say DTFW or Do The Fricken Work. Which basically means if you want to be profitable, you need to actually do the work! No more ‘but Larissa, I’ve never been good at maths”… 

If you’re want to make a $1 Million (and pay yourself too #CEOLife) there are 5 lessons you need to learn. 

I’m sharing the 4 steps that will help you DTFW and become profitable in your Salon! It will be a game changer for not only your business, but your life. This is:  Million Dollar Mindset: 5 Lessons You Need to Know

When is the right time to just jump and expand your Salon?

Your team is booked and busy, clients are coming in and things are starting to feel a little cramped. Do you expand into a larger space, or even open a second location! But what if you stop growing and suddenly you’re stuck paying rent you can’t afford… 

Or what happens if, out of the blue, someone offers to buy your Salon!

Do you take the first offer you receive? Try and negotiate? Or shop around and see if anyone else is interested in buying your Salon? 

Both decisions are equally big and life changing! And sometimes, they’re decisions that you spend weeks, months or even years going back and forth on what to do… that you end up never making a decision at all! 

I’ve talked to a few Salon Owners recently who are making these life changing decisions right now!

I knew the perfect person to talk to about expanding and selling your Salon, is Hady, founder and former CEO of Forme Spa… she grew her Salon to 9 locations before selling. 

This is When to Expand or Sell Your Salon…

“Nothing I do makes my team happy!”

It can be tricky to juggle what’s best for you and your Salon whilst also balancing what’s best for your team as individuals… but sometimes, you have no idea what to do. Your team wants to earn more money… you show them how BUT then they complain about working… you can’t win!

As a Salon Owner, there are 3 keys YOU need to be doing as the leader of your business if you want a motivated team that helps you reach your Salon’s goals. 

I promise it’s a lot easier than you think!

Because  when your team is content and excited to work… they become better stylists and therapists! 

No more ‘everyone feels the same… we’re all unhappy’. It’s time to get in the driver’s seat and lead your team to success. 

In today’s episode of the Salon Owners Collective Podcast, Salon Mastery Boardroom coach, Joel, will be breaking down what to do when your team is unhappy… 

Here are the 3 Key to Turn Team Discontent into Salon Success

How many times do you talk to your accountant?

Just during tax time, right? And then maybe once or twice more throughout the year when you’re making a big business decision. But, you should be talking to your accountant every quarter at the very least… if you want to fast track your Salon’s growth!

I’m going to say it again, your number will always tell you what to do and what leavers you can pull to grow. 

If you’re not looking at your numbers on a regular basis, how are you going to know if you can afford to give your stylist a pay rise? Do you need to increase your prices? Should you be changing your products? What SHOULD you do next to move the needle in your business? 

These are decisions that shouldn’t be limited to once or twice a year… you should be reviewing and evaluating all the time!

I’m excited to share this conversation I had with the wonderful Jolene and Kristi from the Summa Collective about looking at the numbers to grow your Salon. 

Here is What Your Accountant Isn’t Telling You..

Jenny is disengaged, disruptive, she’s not hitting her KPIs and the team are starting to notice… should I fire her? 

When a team member is negatively impacting the energy and motivation of the team, you need to take action to get everyone back on track. But you can be left wondering if something is wrong. You talk to her but she keeps saying everything is ok… what do you do? 

Can you afford to let her go? Can you afford to keep her even though her attitude is affecting the rest of the team? 

It all can be resolved if you approach the conversation of ‘how are you?’, differently to how you normally do! As people, we often tell people that everything is fine… even if it isn’t. We don’t want to be a burden on people, or sometimes we don’t even realise our attitude has changed!

As a Salon CEO and the leader, it’s up to YOU to be curious and dig a little deeper when someone keeps saying that everything is ok… it may even save you from firing your best stylist. 

Salon Mastery Boardroom Coach, Joel and I are sharing a problem an Owner in The Boardroom was facing when it came to her best stylist…

You’re a Salon, not a charity…

The world of marketing can feel overwhelming… you have emails, newsletters, the ever growing list of social media platforms and of course, ads! But is the time and money you’re spending on these marketing channels really worth it?  

Or are you pouring money down the drain?

Marketing channels are there to market your Salon, but if they’re not bringing clients into your door (that rebook too!)… you may need to re-evaluate your marketing strategy. Because there’s no value to your business in spending hundreds and thousands of dollars a month on marketing if none of those new clients ever rebook! 

Otherwise, you’re basically donating money to Meta like it’s a charity.

If your Salon hits a growth ceiling… It’s because of you!

Clients are coming in, your team is busy, you’re finally profitable but you’re not sure if you should jump and recruit a new team member before you need it. If you recruit team members too early, your growth might slow down and suddenly you can’t afford to pay them OR you recruit too late and your team feels overwhelmed and overworked… whilst trying to train someone new.

It takes 3 months to recruit and train someone…

So, in a perfect world, you would recruit someone 3 months before you need them. And I know what you’re thinking… “Larissa, I can’t see the future!”. But actually, you can… sort of. Your numbers will always tell you what to do. 

If you’re wanting to grow in 2024 and beyond, you need to be 3 steps (or 3 months ahead).

You need to know your purpose and your brand!

As a Salon Owner, you often go into business because you love doing hair and beauty, right? But you can lose yourself along the way. You get caught up in spreadsheets and recruitment and can start to forget why you even started… 

Knowing your purpose plays a key role in your Salon’s success!

Your personal drive and motivation, your clients eagerness to rebook and your ability to balance motherhood with work… all relies on you knowing your personal purpose. Without it, you can feel loss and misguided and begin to lose why you ever became a Salon Owner in the first place.

You need to know your purpose!

The post What is Your Purpose? appeared first on Salon Owners Collective.

What would you do if your team was offered a pay rise at another Salon?

During a time where it feels like everyone is leaving to go solo… retaining your team is crucial. But not all Salon Owners post a job ad that says ‘We’re Hiring’. Instead, they choose to directly contact stylists and therapists to offer them a job! 

Do you let your team go? Try to convince them to stay? Or offer them a pay rise even if you can’t afford it?

I have a different idea… there is a way to hold onto your team without giving them a pay rise before you’re ready!

Salon Mastery Boardroom Coach, Joel and I are breaking down a situation that recently happened to one of our Salon Mastery Owners! We’ll be sharing what to do when your team says they’re been offered a job at another Salon.

Your clients are secretly unhappy…

How many times have YOU gone to a Salon and thought “they just don’t do it exactly how I like!”? So you go home and you re-curl your hair, maybe give it another trim, scrub your brows trying to take some of the tint off… 

Your clients are doing the exact same thing when they leave your Salon!

And yes, at the end of the appointment we ask what they think and they say they love it and it’s perfect, but have you ever thought they just don’t want to offend you? That maybe they’re hoping if they can nudge you each appointment to go a little bit lighter or a little bit shorter that one day you will ACTUALLY give them what they want? 

9 out of your 10 clients are training you! Which means as an industry, we need to get better at consultations.

It’s time to move on… 

This generation of apprentices are different to how we were 10 – 20 years ago. But, they are the backbone of our industry and we NEED them. So yes, times have changed, which is why you need to change too!

Apprentices are crucial in your Salons growth. 

When you have a strong apprentice program, you’ll find that your apprentices are motivated and excited to learn. They’ll want to stay in your Salon long after their apprenticeship, they may even become your future senior stylist. 

Can you imagine having your top performing stylist resign, but not feeling stressed because you know you have a team of apprentices ready to move up? That is what having a strong apprentice program feels like.

I wanted to sell my Salon 5 times!

It’s normal for Salon Owners to feel like selling when times are tough because it can be a huge load on your mental health… even at the best of times. When you have a list of shiny objects that you want to pick up, but can’t even tick off the basics… you feel terrible. 

But I’m so glad I didn’t sell when I thought I wanted to! 

Yes, it can feel tough to be a Salon Owner right now, but you can and will push through… success is waiting for you on the other side. 

This feeling of ‘I’m ready to give up’ came up in my Salon Mastery Program group recently and I thought it was a topic we should share on the Podcast!

It feels like every Salon Owner is either struggling to keep their doors open or has already closed them! But let me tell you something… this recession does not mean the end of your Salon, in fact, you Salon can and will grow. You just need to learn how to work smarter, not harder! 

I know I did! Working smarter meant that I grew my Salon by 20% in the 2008 recession.

Have you ever looked at your team’s column and it’s empty but then suddenly, almost overnight, they’re fully booked? It feels like those ‘Last Minute Appointment’ Instagram stories are the only thing bringing clients through the door. 

But… what if told you that clients not rebooking isn’t completely your teams fault? 

As Salon Owners we need to pay attention to the changing trends of our clients and adapt of booking systems to suit. I mean… we can’t have a Salon without clients coming through the door which is why it’s up to us to make a change. 

Clients are still rebooking appointments and many of them, are still willing to spend a little extra too on products or upgrades!

In today’s episode of the Salon Owners Collective Podcast, I’m chatting with Shortcuts co-founder Jo Burgess about why it feels like clients aren’t rebooking… and what to do about it!

Here is The Secret to Rebooking Clients.

Here is why you should listen to the full episode:

1. Learn the changes in clients spending habits
2. Understand why it feels like no one is rebooking
3. Know how to create an effective rebooking plan

Have you ever tried sprinting on a treadmill?

Now, not just any treadmill… one where you’re sprinting but can’t slow down or stop? I know what you’re thinking,”Larissa, there’s no way that is happening”. But, the truth is, whilst you may not be physically sprinting on a treadmill non-stop, there’s another treadmill you’re sprinting on right now. The treadmill of a Salon Owner! 

I’m talking long hours, seven days a week, struggling to fit in time with your family (let alone your friends) and you haven’t had ‘me’ time in what feels like forever! It’s exhausting, just like running on a treadmill.

Running yourself to exhaustion can lead you to feel constantly tired and unmotivated. The treadmill of a Salon Owner can have a serious impact on your Mental Fitness if you’re not slowing down every now and then. 

I wanted to share with you the key to managing your Mental Fitness so that you can be a better mum, wife, friend and Salon Owner. 

In today’s episode, I’m chatting to Natalie Tua from The Strengths Shed about How to Master the Salon Sprint. 

Here is why you should listen to the full episode:

1. Learn the meaning of Mental Fitness
2. Understand why it’s important to check in with your Mental Fitness
3. Know how to destress and mater the Salon sprint.

My Salon just won’t grow…

Have you ever felt stuck in your Salon’s growth? You feel like you’re doing all the right things… you’re hiring rockstar stylists and therapists, you’re posting on social media, you’re hitting KPIs… but the needle just won’t move? So you begin to feel lost and not sure what to do next because you’re doing everything ‘right’, it’s just not working!

A Salon Owner recently said to me “Larissa, I thought I knew how to grow my business but since covid… I’ve been stuck at $500k! How do I grow?”. But, it’s important to remember that what got you her, won’t get you to where you want to be!

It’s time to go back to basics and get some reps in! Sometimes, a little more practice in nailing the basics is what you need to push you and your Salon on the right path to becoming a $1 Million+ Salon.

In today’s episode of the Salon Owners Collective Podcast, I’m chatting with Salon Mastery The Boardroom Coach, Joel, about what it takes to grow your Salon to $1 Million.

Here is How She Grew Her Salon to $1 Million.

Here is why you should listen to the full episode:

1. Learn why your business isn’t growing
2. Understand why it’s important to nail the basics 
3. Know when you can lead your team to success!

Everyone is going solo…

As an industry, we’ve seen a huge shift in stylists and therapists leaving to go solo. Why wouldn’t they? They get to make their own hours, pay themselves whatever they want AND they can work out of their own home!

But the grass isn’t always greener on the other side…

And yes, sometimes when our team leave to go Solo they come back… but there are actually a few things we can do BEFORE they even consider leaving! Sometimes, just talking to your team about what their goals are can be enough to make them stay in your Salon.

Team-based Salons are what keep our industry alive. It’s up to us as Salon Owners to make sure we create an environment where our team feel like they can grow and succeed.

I’m excited to share this conversation I had with James and Lynden from Vivo, who know all about The Rise and Fall of Solo Salon’s.

Here is why you should listen to the full episode:

1. Learn what Solo Salon’s mean for the industry
2. Understand why our team sometimes leave to go Solo
3. Know the conversations you need to have before your team ever considers leaving

“I need a Salon Manager!”

Realising it’s time to hire a Salon Manager is exciting, right? Your team and your business are growing and you can start to transition into the role of Salon CEO. But, the idea of a new Manager brings many unanswered questions that make the whole recruitment process seem overwhelming!

Is my team even big enough for a Manager?

Where do I even find a Manager?

Jemima has been with me for years… should she be my Manager? Or should I post an ad? 

It’s time to find a Motivating Manager who will help support you in leading your Salon to success! 

In today’s episode of the Salon Owners Collective Podcast, I’m answering all your Manager-related questions and sharing three key ways to find a Motivating Manager.

What is your WHY? 

As Salon Owners, we wear many hats; we’re managing our team, growing our business, serving clients, looking at spreadsheets and talking to your accountant and… wearing all of those hats, can start to feel overwhelming. Time with your family seems like a distant memory when all you do is work. 

But, when you get stuck in a bubble of working in and on your business… literally dreaming about spreadsheets… you can start to lose your passion. Without a passion for what you do, working on your business can feel like a chore. It can become draining and you start to think… is this worth it? 

This is why you need to remember your WHY! 

When you feel like giving up, remembering your WHY can give you the motivation to keep going… even for 10+ more years. Remembering your WHY will help you feel energised and passionate about your business. 

In today’s episode, I’m chatting to Sonia, who after 15 years of running a successful Salon… suffered from burnout. Sonia is going to be sharing her top tips and tricks for remembering your WHY. Here is How to Recover From Burnout. 

Here is why you should listen to the full episode:

1. Learn how to recover from burnout 
2. Understand why it’s important to remember your WHY
3. Know key strategies to help you rediscover your passion

As Salon Owners, we always do our best to make our clients feel relaxed and welcome in our Salon… right? 

But, we might’ve missed something.

Have you ever asked a client if they would prefer to chat or just sit quietly with a magazine? Or, if they would prefer to sit in the far corner that’s away from all the other chairs? And… have you asked your team these questions too?

We want everyone to feel safe and included in our Salons, but first we need to start having a conversation with everyone in our Salon about what they NEED. You won’t know what someone needs until you ask! 

If you’re not thinking about inclusion, diversity and mental health… it’s time to start. It doesn’t need to feel like a big rock, you can even start with one small change… 

In today’s episode of the Salon Owners Collective Podcast, I’m chatting with Shortcuts co-founder Jo Burgess about mental health in the Salon (for your clients AND your team!).

Here is Your Salon Wasn’t Comfortable… 

Here is why you should listen to the full episode:

1. Learn the questions you need to be asking your clients and team
2. Understand why mental health is important for your Salon
3. Know how make everyone feel comfortable

My Salon can’t push forward without me… 

You know that feeling where you’re the Salon Owner but you’re also the biggest earner and a mother and a partner and you’re just doing all the things… you feel stuck. You want to grow your business but you can’t because you never have time to do anything outside of daily operations. It’s a cycle that can be hard to break. 

A Salon Owner asked me how can my team and business push forward without me?’ and I thought it would be the perfect question to answer here on the podcast. You don’t need to feel stuck forever… you might just need a manager! 

It’s time to get off the floor, bring in a manager and let your team and Salon grow without you! I promise you, it’ll be the best thing you ever do. 

In today’s episode of the Salon Owners Collective Podcast, I’m chatting with Salon Mastery The Boardroom Coach, Joel, about why letting my manager take my job was the best thing I ever did… and how it can actually grow your business!

Here is My Manager Took My Job.

Here is why you should listen to the full episode:

1. Learn the stages of growing your business
2. Understand why it’s important to have a manager
3. Know how to let your manager, take your job!

Life is over at 30… 

It can feel like that sometimes, right? You’re suddenly struggling with mood swings, changes to your metabolism, a lack of energy, feeling less productive and unable to focus… it’s tough. But it doesn’t need to feel like that, in fact, knowing this one thing can actually help you regain control of your life and your Salon… let’s talk about hormones! 

Life doesn’t need to be over at 35… it’s just beginning! There may just be a few adjustments you need to make to your life. Hormones are part of who we are but they shouldn’t get in the way of you and your Salon’s success! 

Hormones aren’t a topic that should be avoided because the changes to hormones are something we all experience (men and women!). It’s time we start welcoming conversations about our health and hormones so we can become better Salon Owners. 

I wanted to share with you the key to navigating changes in your hormones to help you feel sharp and energised. 

In today’s episode, I’m chatting to Anastasia Bennett from Life Hack Coaching to talk about How Hormones Impact Salon Success. 

Here is why you should listen to the full episode:

1. Learn how your hormones change in your 30s
2. Understand why it’s important to recognise hormonal changes
3. Know how to manage hormonal changes so you can be a successful Salon Owner
