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.

But what they really mean is they don’t have a DEFINED mission and vision that they can communicate to their team.

It’s so important to have this because your mission and vision not only create unity within your team…but also give your team members a glimpse into the future. And like I always say – team members leave when they can’t see a future with you.

In this episode of The Salon Owners Collective Podcast I reveal the fundamentals of how to define and communicate your mission and vision and how to use team workshops to involve your team in setting the values that will be critical to living that mission and realising that vision.

Investing In a Marketing Return

By Larissa Macleman | 29 September 2023

Here’s a question for you – exactly how much are you investing in your Salon Marketing? – and how much return on investment are you getting?

I’m talking about the money you invest into marketing your Salon, versus the return you get from NEW CLIENTS booking into the Salon.

I can feel the shoulder struggling and the eyes darting around the room from here. Let me guess, you’ve got no idea because like most Salon Owners I know – you’ve been winning it.

Well what if I told you there’s actually a formula for this – a simple formula that will analyse the effectiveness of your current marketing AND tell you how much to invest (and where to invest it) based on those findings?
