“Imagine boosting your Salon’s income by 20%”   Wouldn’t that be a game changer… especially in a cost-of-living crisis?   Feels impossible right now though.

“I feel like a prisoner in my Salon”   You know that feeling, when you have a rockstar team, and then suddenly… you don’t.   It only takes one bad apple to poison the whole crop.     I remember I had a stylist who was amazing at what she did, but every time she’d break up with her boyfriend, her work would plummet… this went on for 2 years!   And you begin to feel like a prisoner, that you can’t move without someone coming to you with a problem or someone is sulking.     But, you don’t need to be a prisoner anymore, you just need to make the decisio ..read more

“I have a team member who has done 5 things wrong in the last 2 weeks… I might explode”   We’ve all been there before.    A team member keeps doing things wrong but you’re dreading that awkward conversation of “when you did XYZ, it’s not ok”.    And next thing you know, you have a three-page list of things they’ve done wrong and you’re starting to feel resentful.    But you don’t have to be… you just need to know why it’s happening and how to talk to them.   Here is When to Have THE Conversation With Your Team Member… How did we get here?   We’re al ..read more
