The business is running
on your shoulders.

That's the problem.... The revenue is there. The clients are loyal. So why does it feel like it's about to fall apart?
You know something has to change.
You just don't know what.

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.

How much is this actually costing you, in money you're not seeing, time you don't have, the confidence you're losing?

Leading from strategy instead of daily fire-fighting means your team performs without you there.
You actually go home and switch off.

If I could show you the one thing that changes everything, would you want to see it?

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.

Does Salon Marketing Actually Work?

By Larissa Macleman | 31 March 2022

What if I told you that in order to scale your Salon business Growth, you need to nail these three things: 

An effective marketing strategy, understanding your clients, and growing a team.

I see so many Salon Owners start to grow exponentially, but then all of a sudden hit a plateau. They can’t seem to move the needle in their business or have the momentum to keep this growth sustainable, especially with team challenges, family time and life outside of the Salon walls…

It can feel totally overwhelming, like you are in a business rut!  

However, I believe that with an effective and consistent marketing strategy, and an  understanding of what makes your clients tick, you can truly master the art of attracting and retaining clients in your Salon. 

I know this is never as easy as it sounds. But if you can nail your client-attraction strategy, understand what makes your clients return (or not), and how to keep new clients coming in your doors without you stepping foot into your Salon doors…your Salon growth will be unstoppable.

The Female Entrepreneur’s Guide to Salon Marketing

By Larissa Macleman | 24 March 2022

You know you need to do it, but the actual doing part isn’t as easy as it looks, right? After all, you are busy enough putting out fires within your team, dealing with clients, your own family, and global pandemics, where do you have the time to create a marketing strategy?

This is something I hear all the time from Salon Owners, and did you know…

Throwing offers and promotions across your Social Media channels without considering whether it’ll resonate with your ideal client and what outcome you want to achieve will only create a marketing message that seems inconsistent and confused…it is not going to give you the results you want…so hold fire on “posting” that 20% “off” offer for now!

How a Risktaker Re-Defined Salon Success

By Larissa Macleman | 17 March 2022

Have you ever had someone tell you that you’ll never achieve something? That being a hairstylist will only take you so far? That there is no way that owning a salon will give you a life of freedom or profit? 

I did, over and over again when I owned my Salon, and boy was I determined to prove them wrong! 

In our industry, everyone’s journey to success looks different. Whether you begin your hairdressing apprenticeship at age 16 or age 30, whether you work in a small town or are a globally recognised stylist… Everyone has their own goals and ambitions and your journey is no less successful than the Salon Owner you see on Instagram, winning awards and flying across the world.
