If you’re looking to make more money in your Salon, there are only 2 ways to do it.

Could they be spending more? I know they could. It’s like thisLet’s say you owned a restaurant, you wouldn’t hand them the check before asking them if they’d like coffee or dessert, would you? Now, I’m not saying that more clients don’t equal more money - but wouldn’t it be ideal if you could make more money without campaigning for new clients? In this episode of The Salon Owners Collective Podcast, I reveal 6 ways to get your clients to spend more, and strategies you can implement that will increase your average client spend by 10, 20 or even 30%. So that when you do attract new clients, you make more money from them, too. Here are three reasons why you should listen to the full episode:Discover the 6 ways to make more money… without having to market to new clientsImplement the right systems and processes to keep clients (and their cash) from falling through the cracks. Learn the 3 things that will get your team focused on (and invested in) optimising client spending. Ready to start implementing these strategies in your salon but worried about how it will work with your team?

Ep 3363 Simple Strategies to Make More in Your Salon

Salon Owners have many tasks & responsibilities that rely on them to ensure their Salon runs smoothly. Between hiring and managing their team, putting out fires and team dramas, paying bills, managing stock, knowing their clientele, and sales & marketing…the list goes on and on. They are masters of juggling a million different hats on a good day! But I believe that the ONE purpose which sits at the root of everything Salon Owners do is spending their time focusing on Income Generating Activities - or what I call IGAs. Every time a client walks into the Salon, there is an additional income-generating opportunity and all it takes is a small investment of the owner's time. Keep listening to discover the 3 most important IGAs that will not only drive new clients to the Salon but will ensure the current clients continue to spend more on each visit. Think of it as your lottery ticket to running a successful, growing Salon.

Ep 334Salon Stories: Surviving the Ups and Downs of Business Ownership

When you own a business, it often feels like nobody else understands what it's like. Our friends might wonder why we don't just get a ‘normal’ job and avoid all the hard work and staff drama. Dealing with inconsistent employees, staff dramas, client complaints, and misbehaving teams can make us question ourselves, right? We might think it's hard to find good people, and we can easily start blaming ourselves… what are we doing wrong? However, it's a mistake to believe that having a great team and running a successful business will mean that dramas and horror stories don't happen. They're simply part of the territory when employing humans. But what you can do, is put simple strategies into place that will help you deal with team dramas when they come up, and minimise them going forward. So… I wanted to change things up a bit for this episode and share some of my own Salon drama stories. As someone who regularly coaches Salon Owners like you, offering support, advice, and proven strategies to improve their businesses, I've walked a mile in your shoes. And let me tell you, those shoes have some stories—some hilarious, some horrifying. Horror stories like these can happen to everyone at some point… But what I will share are my solutions to minimise the horror stories!

Ep 328Achieving a Work/Life Balance Without Sacrificing Income

For many Salon Owners, running a Salon is like having a baby that constantly needs feeding and nurturing. But how great would it be to have a solution to keeping your business alive, without it being centred all around YOU?! Without YOU being the one that has to ‘nurse it’, ‘watch it’ and ‘be there’ 24/7. Something that you knew could (sustainably) allow you to go from working 40 hours a week on the floor to actually spending more time with your family. Like, genuinely have time for the things you love outside your business.. But what happens is that Salon Owners, especially women, feel this guilt and pull towards ‘doing it all’ and ‘juggling it all.’ It’s a vicious cycle, that I know all too well. So, instead, I want to show you how you can continue to grow your business, WITHOUT being the one that is constantly doing it all…because it’s not sustainable. I want to introduce you to Carrie Flynn, owner of Virtual Simplicity, a marketing growth company, with a focus on not just marketing strategies, but actually scaling your business without the overwhelm. Because let’s be honest, you don’t need to add anything more to your plate!

Ep 327The Best Advice for Salon Owners With Low-Performing Teams

In every Salon, even your best-performing team member can go rogue from time to time. As a result, keeping your team motivated and their sales up feels like a full-time job! You wish that: Every team member was hitting their target consistently Every team member was motivated by the KPIs you set Every team member cared about the salon’s growth as much as you do But sometimes, when they’re hanging out in the back room, chatting, or on their phone, it feels like a losing battle… In my experience, building a high-performing salon team is like building a high-performing sports team… they need regular coaching in order to consistently perform. But the problem is, you don’t know where to start with this! Right?! Where will you find the time, and how will you know what to say, or do, in order to coach them to perform at a consistently high level?

Was it your fault? You have this dream of building an amazing team of ROCKSTARS, who believe in your Salon’s Mission and are on the journey with you. …all working towards the same collective goal.

Ep 3243 Steps to Build a Sales Culture in Your Salon

Every Salon Owner dreams of having an amazing team culture: A culture where everyone gets along Where people have clear sales targets And are motivated to smash them So the culture is positive… even without you there. But all it takes is one bad apple on your team to ruin the whole apple cart… right?! You know the one. They’re sitting out the back of the Salon, twiddling their thumbs when there are clients that need serving, they’re not hitting their targets, and it feels like an uphill battle trying to get them to do anything…. It’s causing the salon environment to flip upside down, things can become toxic, and not only are they not performing, but this starts to affect the rest of the team’s performance. Like, all we want is a team that is smashing targets, for clients to receive a 10/10 service, and to feel confident that everyone is motivated and happy. Having a culture like this reminds you why you love this industry so much. I call this building culture of #winning in your salon. But actually, what’s important to remember is that a winning culture is not something that just ‘happens’ one day, and then ‘that’s it’… …instead, your Salon's culture is forever changing and evolving. So the focus needs to be on keeping it positive, 95% of the time, each and every day. To do this, you need systems in your business that are ‘human’ proof so that your team is set up for success, regardless of the individuals within it. So what are those systems? How can you make this happen in YOUR salon? In this episode, you will find out exactly how to build a positive, motivating Salon culture that works even when you aren’t in Salon 24/7. Here are three reasons why you should listen to the full episode: Define three different types of employee and discover how to best communicate with them in terms of their skills, culture & sales.

Ep 323What’s Missing With The New Generation of Hair Stylists?

Having a Salon team is like a catch-22. Your team isn’t hitting their targets…but they want to earn more and work less. Your team is amazing 90% of the time, but 10% of the time shite completely hits the fan and it feels like no one is getting along! Your team says they want to move up the ladder…but they leave before they finish their apprenticeship! Does this make them the enemy? Many salon owners fall victim to this from time to time, believing it’s all the team’s fault. It’s easier to blame THEM for not performing ‘well enough, but it’s actually OUR responsibility as the Salon CEO to lead them towards success. It’s your job to lead your team and empower them to meet targets and hit career goals. I believe this starts with good communication and building a strong relationship with your team. In this episode, I share a sneak peek into my 2-Day Salon Mastery Intensive Workshop, and reveal… The secret to team communication that you have been missing!

Ep 322Are You Earning Less Than Your Employees?

Answer this. Is your Salon profitable? Too often, I hear Salon Owners answer this question with a ‘no’. Either you are paying your team first and not paying yourself enough, or WORSE not paying yourself at all…OR you are paying yourself a good wage, but your business isn’t profitable.

If you simply wait for the profit to come, it never will.= So this is a mistake I don’t want you to make.

Ep 320When to Give Your Team A Payrise (& When Not To)

That awkward conversation… You know the one, where the ONE team member, who hasn’t been hitting their sales targets, comes up to you and asks for a pay rise. It can feel like a child throwing a tantrum in a candy store, you’ll give them the sweets just to keep them quiet because let’s face it, it’s easier and less “work” in the short term. But this actually becomes a vicious cycle that I don’t want you getting into. Instead, what you need is a system that recognizes success, celebrates and rewards those that are smashing their targets, and gives you confidence about when to give a payrise and when not to. This is a system that we, at Salon Owners Collective, call “Do I Get a Payrise” (DIGAPR), a step-by-step progression plan for all of your employees that is exclusive to the Salon Mastery Coaching Program… where your team can see a clear career roadmap, and the next steps they need to take in order to earn a pay rise(without bugging you about it when they don’t actually deserve it!). I can’t wait to share it with you, let’s get into it!

Ep 319Turning Followers into Lifelong Salon Clients

You don’t often get a second chance to make a first impression, especially in the Salon Industry. In today’s online-dominated world, 95% of people who visit your website are new clients.

Potential new clients will stalk your Salon’s website and socials, forming an expectation of what they will get if they come to your Salon…will you live up to their expectations?

Ep 318Your 9 Part Plan: Grow Your Salon Without Losing Freedom & Sanity

The path to Salon success is not a straight one. Take it from me. Business is not a one-size fits all approach. Nobody gives you a handbook on how to grow your Salon overnight. This means Salon Owners often end up winging it on their journey to success…throwing sh*t at the wall and seeing what sticks. But when it comes to having confidence that the things you spend time on will work…and not wasting time implementing things that don’t move the business forward… WINGING it can be a mistake. Who’s guilty? I know I have been from time to time! But if you keep doing this, it could be detrimental to your success… Because you’ve reached a point where you’re desperately trying to grow, to increase sales, attract new team members, increase new client rates, and grow profit… But you’ve flatlined… or worse… maybe even dipped down. You’re working longer hours than ever but not seeing any results. So instead, what you need is a proven plan to guide you in the right direction. To plan what your next move will be so you can grow your business successfully… without all the road bumps. So, in this episode, I share a sneak peek into my 9-part proven plan that every Salon Owner needs to nail in order to run a high-functioning, profitable and successful salon. There is so much to share so let’s press play and uncover strategies you didn’t know you were missing…. Here are three reasons why you should listen to the full episode: Get an exclusive sneak peek at my proven 9-Part plan for Salon Success Learn what every Salon owner needs to focus on in order to become profitable Discover how to have confidence in what you need to work on, and what to do to grow. 9 Part Plan CLICK HERE to get access to the 9-part plan to Salon success Let's chat… I'd like to chat with you a bit more about your business and how I may be able to help you.

Ep 317Motivating Your Team Member Starts With This

It’s time to ditch the old way of how you lead your Salon team to succeed. Ok, let me explain… Too often, I see Salon Owners who constantly feel like they have to chase their team members up. Ugh, it’s exhausting, right?! You try to flag your team members down during a busy day in the Salon, doing what I call ‘hallway management’, simply because there’s no other time to check in! I get it…leading and managing a growing team is sometimes tough. Constantly trying to keep up with them, juggling team drama, bad behavior, underperformance, or worst of all… resignations. But what if I told you that the key to finally feeling in control and ahead of your team, is to shift your mindset… not chase them in the hallway. In this episode, I will share with you the proven strategies behind building a successful team of superstars (ones that actually want to work for you and LOVE what they do). This is actually an inside sneak-peak into a recent Salon Mastery Coaching Call I had with a few owners on exactly this topic. Not only does this give you a taste of what it's like inside of Salon Mastery but we solve a few teams challenges when it comes to keeping your team motivated, so your business can continue to grow into a million-dollar Salon. Here are three reasons why you should listen to the full episode: Get an inside sneak-peak into a recent Salon Mastery Coaching Call Go from hallway management of your Salon to being in front of them Proven step-by-step strategies to get your team to love what they do (and stick around) 9 Part Business Assessment CLICK HERE to get your hands on it (I'll dm you a copy) Let's chat… I'd like to chat with you a bit more about your business and how I may be able to help you.

Ep 316The ‘Perfect’ Recipe for Transitioning From Stylist to CEO (Uncovered!)

There is a fine line between having great technical skills and being a great business owner. You start out as a stylist or therapist, you’re passionate about what you do, and you’re good at what you do. It’s enough to make you decide to open your own Salon. But technical skill can only take you so far. Because when you’re so good at serving clients, it often means clients only want you, which leaves you overbooked and overwhelmed. You can’t do it all by yourself - so you grow a team. But growth brings so many lessons as a Salon CEO…and there is only so much you can prepare yourself for. Business is a whole new game. This is why I believe in the power of learning from someone who is 2 steps ahead of you, who has been there, done that. I want to introduce you to Mary Harcourt. Mary has decades of experience in the industry and knows what it takes to run a thriving and growing business. Mary is a former hairstylist, turned lash guru, who is now running her own manufacturing company for lighting systems for spa and lash Salons. Mary and I sit down in this episode to share with you the strategies around navigating the ever-changing landscape of going from an operator (hairstylist or therapist) to owning your own business and becoming a true salon CEO. We discuss team, marketing, CEO burnout, and everything else in between!   Here are three reasons why you should listen to the full episode: Discover the secret to becoming a successful Salon CEO Learn my strategy for transitioning from a hairstylist to owning a business How to navigate the world of business ownership Inner Salon CEO Snapshot: CLICK HERE to get your hands on it Let's chat… I'd like to chat with you a bit more about your business and how I may be able to help you.

Ep 315Not “Just a Hairdresser” – Beating the Odds to Reach Salon Mastery

Business Ownership can be lonely…and the reality is that your business can feel like it’s your entire life. Without it, who would you be? You spend more hours in the day in your business than you see your partner, family, or friends. And whilst this is never the intention, you feel it’s just what has to happen to ensure everything gets done; putting out the team fires, the admin jobs, rebooking clients, marketing, cleaning, the list goes on! Who else is going to do it like you can? Then you get home at the end of a busy day, you’re exhausted, the kids are wanting to spend time with you, you have to help them with their homework or take them to their swimming lesson… but you can’t switch off and stop thinking about the salon, and worse, you feel guilty for spending time away from your business. I know this well, this was me for years on end. In this episode, I want to introduce one of my dear friends, Melinda. Melinda and I have worked together inside Salon Mastery for many years now and she has completely turned her business around from “being in the trenches” (we cried together on our first call) now her Salon is thriving in her newfound role as Salon CEO. Melinda started her Hair Salon, Ginger & Spice, with no clients, no team, and no experience in running a Salon. Now, with a thriving team - she has 6 stylists, Melinda spends 99% of her time working ON the business, leading from the front, and installing new initiatives for the team and business to thrive. She is off the floor, & has never been happier. Keep listening as we dive into the topic of how to create freedom in your business to grow and in life as a Salon CEO, once and for all… without overworking or overwhelm.   Here are three reasons why you should listen to the full episode: Discover how to become a Salon CEO without working more hours in your business Get a total insight into the magic behind Salon Mastery Learn how to switch off and create a life away from your business whilst still seeing success Inner Salon CEO Snapshot: CLICK HERE to get your hands on it Let's chat… I'd like to chat with you a bit more about your business and how I may be able to help you.

Ep 314A Strong Culture Isn’t Built Around Desperation

Are you sometimes guilty of being a little desperate when it comes to your team? Ok…hear me out. It’s not easy to find team members in today’s climate, right? So you suddenly feel the need to put more focus on your existing team culture. Build a culture that is so strong no one wants to leave… But a mistake I often see owners making every day is, instead of focusing on building a strong salon culture, they instead act out of panic and desperation when it comes to their team. You feel the pressure from your team as you don’t want them to leave, but this ends up with you saying yes to all the things…(even the things you don’t want to…such as a pay rise they haven’t yet earned). You feel held hostage by your team, and give in to your team members' demands so that they never leave, but this isn’t always the answer to winning team culture, and can leave you, the owner, being the one who misses out… But this isn’t the leadership style that creates a culture where no one wants to leave! In fact, it creates the opposite, and your team members will always be looking for where the grass is greener… There has to be something stronger, and I believe that comes from this ONE secret to building a winning team culture… In this episode, I share a sneak peek into my Salon Mastery Coaching Program, and reveal a team leadership strategy that you can implement in the New Year so you can grow your team without sacrificing your salon, your clients, or most importantly, yourself.

Ep 3123 Secrets to Increasing Your Team’s Sales Performance

The biggest mistake you can make as a Salon Owner is to assume your team knows how to sell. After all, they are trained to do hair or beauty, right? Not how to be a salesperson and actually they often don’t want to be a salesperson. So even when you have clients coming through the door, and you have a full team of stylists, you aren’t seeing the growth you had hoped for… and as the Salon Owner, you end up with the most sales, consistently rebooking clients, and keeping the business afloat. But if all the pressure to make the most relies on you, the owner, what happens when you want to get free from clients for one moment to work ON their business?! You end up losing more than it’s worth and you’re stuck on the floor 60 hours a week, busier than ever. This doesn’t have to be the case. You can move off the floor, work less hours with clients, and STILL see growth in your business! I want to introduce you to my amazing Salon Mastery & Momentum Success Coach, Amy Osmer. Amy has years of experience working in Salons, managing large teams, and working behind the scenes of large format salon groups within the Hair & Beauty industry. Amy is an expert in helping owners increase their Salon’s Sales and leading their teams to succeed so that they can stop the “60-hours-on-the-floor”, weekly grind. In this episode, Amy and I are going to share our top 3 strategies for getting your team to make more, without you having to work more and add more to your plate…in fact, after this episode, you will be able to see how to work LESS in your business, and still see your sales skyrocket! After implementing these strategies, our Salon Mastery & Momentum Program Owners have grown their weekly sales, while reducing their weekly hours on the floor….we just celebrated end-of-year awards with some having 66% growth in 12 months.   Here are three reasons why you should listen to the full episode: Discover how to get your team to make more without adding more to your plate Learn the secret to increasing sales and stopping the weekly 60 hours on the floor grind Get a sneak peek at our Salon Mastery-approved sales strategies Inner Salon CEO Snapshot: CLICK HERE to get your hands on it Let's chat… I'd like to chat with you a bit more about your business and how I may be able to help you.

Ep 311Revealed: The Greatest Challenge of a Salon CEO

I often compare Salon ownership to an ongoing game of Tetris. You’re always trying to move the pieces around: your team, your sales, and your clients, to make them fit perfectly together and win the game of mastering a successful business. The challenge of this is that the pieces are always moving and are unpredictable (humans!!) and while the more experience you have in running a Salon, the more ‘in control’ things feel, there is still lots of uncertainty, you often wonder what will happen next…what move will you have to make…. It’s not often I get to introduce a guest on my podcast for the 5th time…but Stevie is an exception! I am so excited to have Stevie English back on my podcast to share his secret to building an incredible team culture, a growing clientele, and most importantly the secret to looking after YOU as the CEO so you feel in control of your business even when shit hits the fan!

Want to know how 18 Salon Owners grew their income by $100k a year? I’ll give you one clue, it ends with ditching the hustle culture! Yes, I know it well. As a Salon Owner, there’s an immense amount of pressure to ensure the business is profitable and is bringing money in through the door. You want to provide a completely personalized experience for every single client that visits your salon….. And this is more than just the hair service itself, right owners?! … it’s everything from the way your team presents themselves, to the atmosphere, the pricing, the post-service check-in, the booking experience, the retail products…ahhh the list goes on!

You’re grinding 24/7 to bring money in the door, but you’re not seeing the results… Do you know why? The reason is that…. “doing more” doesn’t actually make you any more successful, or profitable… instead, it can do the exact opposite!

That’s right, I said it. There are only 4 things you need to focus on right now, to grow your Salon by $100k a YEAR.

Things are ticking along, your Salon is growing, your team is happy, and business is “as expected,” yet you have this fire inside of you to keep going, to keep dreaming big.

Ep 306The 1 Secret to Creating My Life of Freedom: Away From the Salon

What does freedom mean to you? Is it being able to spend time away from your Salon, and with your family? Being able to come and go as you please without feeling guilty? To not have any financial stress about whether the Salon is making ends meet? For me, freedom is a choice. It’s a choice to be able to create your dream life, to choose when you work, who you work with and what your family time is like. It can also be freedom of your mind, to be able to switch off from your business when you need to. But the question remains: how do you create freedom when so much of the business relies on you? In this episode, you’ll discover what freedom truly looks like for you, and I’ll share my secret to creating freedom as a Salon CEO…without feeling like everything will turn to sh*t without you there.

But in my perspective, this can be a big mistake. Less is always more, especially when you’re first starting out in Salon Ownership. It’s important to build strong foundations in your salon business so that you don’t have to backtrack and backfill once you have grown. One core ingredient of a successful business that you need to get clear on at the start, is your culture. The thing that makes the wheels go round. I know building a strong team culture can feel tricky for a lot of owners. Like, you worry that if your culture isn't strong enough... your team might not stay around, you might not be able to hire new team members and it will affect the overall feel and reputation of your Salon. Like, you know that everyone wants to work for someone that has a great reputation! I know you might be asking, “okay but what does an amazing culture look like?” So, I want to introduce you to Tara Hainsworth - the owner of the successful Salon, Hainsworth & Company. Tara has nailed the secret recipe to team culture and what successfully grew her team from 2 to 20. Tara is going to share her strategies around how to build an amazing team culture so that your team won’t leave… and how to be flexible in your business. It’s time to do less, but do it better and establish the core of your business before you can grow… Here are three reasons why you should listen to the full episode: How to build an amazing team culture Learn Tara’s secret for how to get your team to stick around and love working for you Discover the first thing to implement when you open your Salon Inner Salon CEO Snapshot CLICK HERE to get your hands on it Let's chat… I'd like to chat with you a bit more about your business and how I may be able to help you.

Ep 303Why a Good Team Member Stops Performing

Is this you? Your current team doesn’t want to work Saturdays or late nights, and they aren’t hitting their targets, yet come to you asking for a pay rise… OMG are they serious?! And when you try to hire someone new, it’s crickets! It seems like nobody wants to work these days…is this familiar? So to make up for it, you have to pull the weight for your team… you’re putting in all the hours, saying yes to all the clients…you have a large team, and yet, your Salon still isn’t growing… It always feels like 2 steps forward, 3 steps back. You’re going round and round an ongoing loop with your team and your business hitting a plateau, and you feel like this is never going to end. You find yourself asking, what is all of this for?

This isn’t what Salon Ownership should look like… and believe me, I’ve been on that side of running a business, and it’s exhausting and you are left feeling unfulfilled and burned out. I want to share with you one of my favourite team management strategies, which I taught my owners within our Salon Mastery Program during my 2-day Intensive. It’s all about the 3 step secret in how to get your team to want to work Saturdays and late nights!

Ep 302Can’t Trust Your Salon Manager?

Is your Salon Manager really helping the business move forward, or are they instead hindering the future success of the Salon? As the Salon Owner, you already have too many tabs open. You’re thinking about a million different things and you have a to-do list that is never-ending. Your role is to lead your business and ensure that it continues to grow, which is why you need a right-hand man, or what we, in this industry, call a Salon Manager. When hiring a salon manager, the goal is to find someone to manage the hustle of daily operations in the Salon, and help carry the weight of leading the team, so that you can step away from working IN the business, and instead work more ON the business. But this isn’t always as picture-perfect as it seems…can you relate? Whilst you’d hoped that hiring a Salon Manager was going to be the answer to all your problems, it’s actually ended up being an even bigger headache… The jobs aren’t getting done, you’re doing more than ever, and you can’t actually trust them to look after the Salon when you aren’t there. So what is going to give? I want to introduce Greta Veint, one of our Salon Mastery Success Coaches here at Salon Owners Collective. After leading 17 Salons as a Salon Manager, (and being a total Rockstar working for me during my Salon days), Greta knows what it takes to harness an effective management role within a successful salon, and build a productive working relationship between the Salon CEO & Manager. She is the powerhouse behind our Motivating Managers program within Salon Mastery and has all the tips and tricks to help you go from frustration with your management team, to motivate managers to be confident and successful in their role... so that you can step away and the salon can continue to flourish. Here are three reasons why you should listen to the full episode: Discover the real reason your manager is underperforming Learn insider strategies from our Salon Mastery Program How to motivate your managers so you don’t have to spend all your time in the Salon Inner Salon CEO Snapshot CLICK HERE to get your hands on it Let's chat… I'd like to chat with you a bit more about your business and how I may be able to help you.

Ep 300Work Less & Make More – Becoming a “Smart” Salon CEO

Have you ever felt like: You’re working yourself to the bone: You’re busier than ever with clients, plus managing an ever-evolving team... You’re hardly present with your family as work has taken over your brain space… but what makes it worse is you’re not growing.   But still, you end up saying YES all the time: Like when a team member needs our help with something, we jump at the chance… because we don’t want to let them down Or when a regular client wants to book with you when you’re ‘meant’ to be working ON the business (not in it)... you give in because you feel bad…   Or maybe you’re guilty of having shiny object syndrome…. Are you nodding your head right now? I know I’ve been guilty of this too… But this is a HUGE mistake.   Because in reality, these are often the things that will halt forward momentum in our business. As a result, you take 2 steps forward, 2 back. Your business is at a constant plateau, and you get super frustrated because you’re BUSY doing ALL the things- so you start to wonder-- ‘why am I not growing?’ You get overwhelmed and burnt out… which leads to halting progress even more.   Agh! It’s a vicious cycle. In this episode, I will take you through my secret formula to increasing sales by working less (for smart salon CEOs).   If you’re overworking 30+ hours on the Salon floor, and want to create what I like to call ‘CEO discipline’, and have the time to move the needle in your business, then keep listening… Plus don’t forget to grab yourself a copy of the “4 Steps to Becoming a Smart Salon CEO” strategy.

Ep 299Does Increasing Your Prices Make You a Better Salon Owner?

Does self-doubt stop you from increasing your salon’s prices? You know deep down you need to put your prices up, but the thought of asking your clients to spend more just feels so daunting.   What if they push back? What if they leave and never come back because they can’t afford your services? How will you equip the team to handle these objections… when you feel nervous about it yourself? Honestly, if this is you, then know that you aren’t alone. I know this is a huge challenge for so many owners.   But in reality, this holds Salon Owners back from success…and reaching their full potential. Instead of feeling confident about your experience and your Salon’s prices, you instead have this overwhelming urge to compare yourself to other Salons, to discount your services, to apologise before anything has even gone wrong, all due to the fact that you’re worried that if you don’t, that client will go elsewhere.   This is why I want to introduce Ruby Lee, a wealth & expense business coach helping business owners shift their mindset to “I can” & “I will” instead of being a roadblock to their own success. Ruby will share her strategies for getting comfortable with your numbers and profitability, so you can back yourself in moments when you may be doubting yourself or feeling insecure (because let’s face it, we all have these moments!) and continue to grow your million-dollar Salon.   Discover the REAL reason why so many salon owners feel too scared to raise their prices, and how to combat this in your salon, once and for all. Uncover your true worth and potential as a business owner, so that you can feel confident with your decisions, and truly grow your profit to its full potential…   Here are three reasons why you should listen to the full episode: Discover the real reason why so many Salon Owners don’t raise their prices How to overcome the fear of putting up your prices in your Salon Learn how uncover your true worth & potential as a business owner Inner Salon CEO Snapshot CLICK HERE to get your hands on it Let's chat… I'd like to chat with you a bit more about your business and how I may be able to help you.

Ep 297Motherhood & Salon Ownership: Is It Possible to Master Both?

I see you… You’re a Salon owner, but more importantly, a mother… trying to balance the juggle between spending too much time at work (away from your kids), and not having enough time to do all the things that you want to in your business.   Your Salon isn’t growing, because let’s face it, you barely have enough time in your day to touch your to-do list…, let alone work on moving the needle in your business. It feels like you’re stuck extinguishing little fires all day long! And when you do find the space to work on these things, you feel the “mum guilt” creep up…and planning the next big thing gets replaced with the football final for your child’s team. It’s always either: “am I a good enough mother?” or “am I a good enough business owner?”, and you’re left wondering if you’ll ever be able to be successful in both. Can you run a successful business, have the perfect family, and be the best partner, and friend… Is it even possible to master the art of having it all?

Ep 296If You Want Your Salon Team to Stay, Do This…

When it comes to your salon’s team culture, pretty much every salon owner wishes for two things: You wish you had a salon culture that new team members were BEGGING to be part of--like, i’m talking knocking on your door! You wish you had a salon culute that existing team members NEVER wanted to leave. After all, who doesn’t want to work for the A team? But I know that sometimes this can feel out of your control.

After all, surely it’s just taking what you have working already and multiplying it all by two, right?   Well, it’s actually not always that simple… I want to introduce you to the lovely Shelby Tarleton, owner of Pink Lady Lash in Austin Texas, and Host of “Lash Boss Radio”.   Shelby is a mother and a successful business owner, and has had experience opening a second salon of her own.

Ep 292Creating Healthy Boundaries to Stop People Pleasing

Do you find yourself saying YES to things that you would rather be saying NO to? I used to be guilty of this myself. That’s right, I’m a recovering YES-aholic! Like, it’s a fact… As salon owners and creative entrepreneurs (and women in particular), we try to do it all.   In fact, we overdo it more than we’d care to admit. Often without even realising, we spend so much of our energy trying to please everyone, saying yes to everything that comes our way, and constantly putting ourselves last to ensure our teams, our partners, and our family are happy. But what does this leave us with?   Not the feeling of success and fulfillment that we’d hoped for, but actually the feeling of burnout and exhaustion. And what good can come from you feeling like this? So it’s time we ditch this endless cycle we’ve managed to get ourselves stuck in, and create a healthier, more sustainable lifestyle, so we can continue to reach success in our salons.   That’s why I want to introduce Sonya Stattmann - a business and leadership coach and host of the podcast “Women in the Business Arena”. Sonya is going to share her tried-and-tested strategies for how to stop the monster of comparison and avoid burnout and overwhelm.   Here are three reasons why you should listen to the full episode: Learn how to start saying no to things that you don’t want to do Discover how to overcome burnout and overwhelm with 3 simple strategies How to conserve your energy in different parts of your life to focus on the things that matter Inner Salon CEO Snapshot CLICK HERE to get your hands on it Let's chat… I'd like to chat with you a bit more about your business and how I may be able to help you.

Ep 291What You ACTUALLY Need to Be Posting On Social Media

Do you find it tricky to keep up with social media? You know you have to do it, but you often don’t have the time, nor the energy to really put effort into it and prioritise it.   As a result, you can end up posting the bare minimum just to keep things ‘ticking along’. Hair transformation photo after hair transformation photo, before and afters of your team’s latest blonde transformation… you know the one! After all, it’s just taking one more thing off your busy to-do list. And honestly, kudos to you for getting it done when you can.   But the problem with doing this all the time is that: You end up posting the same thing as everyone else. Every Salon does a full head of highlights, and every Salon has great before and afters. So what sets you apart? And you might think it’s the great work you do, and that’s definitely part of it, but there’s more to social media than posting about how good your clients look!   Social Media in today’s climate is so overpopulated, so you need to find a simple way to set your salon apart from the rest. Hint: it’s more simple than you think.   In this episode of the podcast, I want to introduce you to Braeley Davies, Marketing Manager and social media guru here at Salon Owners Collective. Braeley has joined me on the podcast to share with you the 3 game-changing strategies that every salon owner should be using when posting on social media if you want to set yourself apart online AND most importantly, grow your client base through social media.   Keep listening to hear the incredible marketing strategies that Braeley has up her sleeve….   Here are three reasons why you should listen to the full episode: Discover how to set your Salon apart from other Salons on social media Learn marketing strategies that actually help your business grow How to create a marketing plan and stay consistent with posting Want to know the 10 Best Salon Strategies for Sales and Marketing?

Ep 290The Salon Lifestyle Effect: “No Saturdays, No Late Nights Say What?!”

The Hair & Beauty Industry has had an undeniably huge shake up! Salons that were once thriving and growing are having to adjust considerably to suit the new industry climate… the ‘lifestyle effect’ is at large and nobody wants to work late nights or Saturdays.   Your team is more demanding than ever and you’re worried that if you don’t meet their demands, they’ll leave. But then if you do give in, you’ll end up back on the floor 50+ hours a week… and you’ll be left feeling resentful! Sure, they can have the lifestyle they want, but does yours have to suffer?! It’s a total double-edged sword!   This is why I want to introduce to you, my two friends, James Carlisle & Lynden James, owners of Vivo Hair & Skin Clinic. If there is anyone who is making it work against all odds…and for the most part completely unscathed, it’s these two.   With over 90 salons nationwide, they have their finger on the pulse and are implementing the big-rock strategies Salon Owners need to tackle this new ‘norm’ in our industry. Even post-pandemic & pre-recession James & Lynden are reaching success, on a mission to reach 100 Salon’s by the end of the year.   Let’s hear what the boys from Vivo have to say about the industry and team in particular…   Here are three reasons why you should listen to the full episode: Discover the latest industry trends Learn expert advice around training apprentices and how to get them to stay with your Salon How to implement the “Lifestyle Effect” within your Salon without sacrificing your business growth.
