If You're a Salon CEO
Generating $10K+ Weeks

...and still feel like the
breakthrough is just out of reach
No more winging it.

You've built a team. There's revenue. Clients keep coming back. And you're still the one holding it all together, 60-hour weeks, give or take.

You know something has to change.
You just don't know what!

It's not your team. It's not even your revenue. It's that the business is still running on you.  When your leadership changes, the numbers follow.
Because the right move at $10K weeks isn't the same as the right move at $20K.

You've said it before. You'll say it again tomorrow.
Here's how to stop

The 5 Meetings that
Rule Them All

You've had the conversation... And somehow, next week, the same problem.

This guide gives you The 5 Meetings that fix all that.

Each meeting has a clear job. Together they create a team that listens, follows through, and steps up! ... without you chasing, reminding, or repeating yourself.

✅ Your team heard you,  they just didn't do it. These 5 meetings fix that for good.

✅ No more repeating yourself. Each meeting has one clear job, so your team knows exactly what's expected and owns it.

✅ This is the structure Salon CEOs use to lead teams who listen, follow through, and step up without the daily reminders.

The Key to Leadership: Meetings, Power and Difficult Conversations

By Larissa Macleman | 22 December 2023

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…

3 Ways AI CAN Help Your Salon

By Larissa Macleman | 08 December 2023

Technology can be scary for us to wrap our heads around – it’s always changing, there are a million updates, and it’s just not worth the stress! 

But what if I told you that technology, more specifically AI, can actually save us a heck of a lot of time… 

As Salon Owners, we often think we’re ‘not a computer guy’ we just want to help people look and feel their best and we do that with our hands (and our scissors and brushes and all the other tools we use).

But AI is one of the most powerful tools we have available to us, and for some reason, our industry is falling behind by not using it! 

Today on The Salon Owners Collective Podcast, Larissa is joined by Scott Moon from Salon SOS to discuss 3 Ways AI CAN Help Your Salon. Scott breaks down how WE as non-tech people, can use AI… and actually make Marketing and the way we communicate with our clients a whole lot easier.

Why No One Is Applying to Your Salon

May 15, 2026

There Is No Stylist Shortage. You Have a Salon Brand Problem. You’ve heard it. Maybe you’ve even said it yourself. “There’s just no one out there.” No stylists. No therapists. No good applicants. No one who wants to work anymore. And after hearing it repeated across the industry for years, it starts to feel true.…
