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.

✅ 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.

2 Hacks to Leading a Growing Team

By Larissa Macleman | 24 June 2021

Growing your Salon: it’s challenging. Can you relate?

Things are forever evolving in Salons; Owners have to constantly adapt systems and processes. Just like any evolution, things start to break. Perhaps what worked before, no longer will. Adapting is not always easy, but it does teach us fundamental lessons in return. Lessons, which I believe, are key to any successful Salon growth. 

If you’re anything like I was, you never feel like your Salon is ‘complete’, always striving for improvement – and that’s great! Improving, however, means things can’t stay the same. There have to be constant shifts from ‘norm’ to ‘new’.

Here at Salon Owners Collective, we could not relate more to this. That’s why I’ve decided to bring in one of my very own –  team leader and operations manager, Suzy.

Having been with us for over 3 years now, she’s witnessed and learned so many valuable lessons while helping grow the business to where it is today.

She’s chosen to share her two biggest lessons around team management which I know any Salon Owner will find helpful.

Take your Brand Identity to The Next Level!

By Larissa Macleman | 17 June 2021

Have you ever wondered what people think when they walk past your Salon? Do they love the look of it or do they ignore it and move on?

As human beings we judge, even when we try not to, it’s just part of our nature.

We often read and hear so many recommendations and opinions from others, but let’s be honest, the strongest opinion we make is based on what we first see. That’s why it’s so important as a Salon to be visually appealing – both online and on the street.

How can we expect clients to walk through our doors if there’s nothing they see that draws them in?

In this episode, I’m chatting with the founder of Crowdspring, Ross Kimbarovsky. Knowing all things marketing, he provides us with strategies on how to brand a Salon in ways that attract more clients, more often.
