Breaking the Stigma Around Home Hair Colour…

By Larissa Macleman | 28 April 2021

I’m kind of scared to say this, because I know it’s something that makes a lot of Salon Owner’s eyes roll…

That’s right, today we’re talking about home hair colour.

And I know you might be thinking, “But Larissa, you used to be a hairdresser, why are you talking about home hair colour!?” OK, let me explain…

Putting Yourself Out There to Achieve Salon Success

By Larissa Macleman | 14 April 2021

Being a Salon Owner can feel scary at times!

It can feel like there’s no one there to guide you when things are uncertain…. or even to celebrate you when things go right!

Salon Owners are often afflicted with this feeling of loneliness or anxiety… we feel alone in business and like there’s no one around us who understands!

That’s why I wanted to bring ultra-successful Salon Owner Kate Henderson on my Podcast today, so that we could chat about all things Salon Owner Success.

In this episode, Kate will share her success tips and why it’s important to put yourself out there in order to truly get that feeling of recognition you deserve.
