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.

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.
