The dream is always to work less and earn more… right? However, there is 1 key to achieving this ‘dream lifestyle’ that so many Owners make the crucial mistake of missing.    Are you guilty of this… I see so many Salon Owners who strive for more, but have no idea of where they’re at currently!    If you don’t know, in-depth, the ingoings and outgoings of your business, then you run the risk of setting yourself up for failure! Of living day to day and never understanding why you aren’t growing… even when you have more clients on your books and a thriving team! Not only this, but you then end up paying yourself last, which results in feeling underpaid and underappreciated for the effort, time, and energy they put into your business.    This becomes a vicious cycle, you become stuck and struggle to move out of this feeling of overwhelm and stress that comes with running your business. The CEO dream that you thought you would be living from the success of your Salon gets further and further away, until it seems unachievable altogether, right? What is the purpose of being a business owner, if you can’t live the lifestyle you so wish for (and deserve!)?   This is why I want to introduce you to Erinn Bridgman.

Isn’t it frustrating when you’re looking to hire someone new, but your recruitment ad gets 0 applications? Every time you put an ad out, you think to yourself that ‘this time will be different and you will finally get your dream team member applying to work for you… but in reality, the results are disappointing and totally uninspiring.    This makes you feel like if nobody is showing any interest in your ad, then they most definitely are not lining up at the door to work for you. It can take a huge emotional toll on you as the Salon Owner.  I totally know how this feels, and let’s be real, it sucks…But in saying this, it is possible to find your dream Salon team in this climate, all it takes is the right strategies and mindset to know what you are looking for and what to expect.    I went live in my https://www.facebook.com/groups/salonownerscollective (Profitable & Successful Salon Owners Facebook Group) all-around this topic, as well as introducing our brand new guide “3 Reasons Your Recruitment Ads Don’t Work”. This podcast episode is a sneak peek into this live event as it was so valuable for Salon Owners that joined me, so I knew I had to share it with you.   One Salon Owner, Shantelle, received 15 responses to her ad within one week! And has already trialed her favorite applicant … all from using our Rockstar Team Hub strategies Another Salon Owner, Erika, who used our done-for-you ads templates received 4 applications over just a couple of days. And finally, Kelly, another owner, just hired a new senior stylist using the templates!   If you too want results, then keep listening to hear all about how to make killer team-attraction ads for your Salon… Here are three reasons why you should listen to the full episode: Get an insight into my Facebook Group and a step-by-step look into my guide.  Discover how to attract your dream team to work for you with killer ads.  Understand why your ads aren’t attracting any applicants.  3 Reasons Your Recruitment Ads Don’t Work - Guide https://bit.ly/FBRecruitmentAds (CLICK HERE) to get your hands on it (it’ll take you to messenger) Rockstar Team Hub https://www.salonownerscollective.online/offers/WGAH56jG (CLICK HERE) to get access to the Hub 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.

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.    This is something I knew I had to get my friend (and highly respected marketing whizz) Danny Tran on the podcast to speak about. Danny knows the latest and greatest about all things business, marketing, and attracting clients to your business.  Danny is the founder and CEO of High Stroke Media, which specialises in creating marketing and brand strategies for makeup artists all over the world (so, right up our alley!). His advice is tailored to the beauty and hair industry, so I know you will take away some amazing tips to use in the Salon, tomorrow!   So without further ado, let’s meet Danny.    Here are three reasons why you should listen to the full episode: Discover the marketing secrets of the Hair & Beauty Industry Uncover the real reason your clientele isn’t growing Leave this episode with actionable brand strategies and tips to take into the Salon.  Instagram Checklist  https://m.me/salonownerscollective?ref=w16808749 (CLICK HERE) to get your own copy (I’ll send it you in messenger)  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.

You probably know the saying of throwing spaghetti at a wall and hoping it will stick. Well, are you guilty of doing the same with your marketing strategy? In a crowded industry, failing to create a marketing strategy and a strong Salon brand could be the thing that is holding your business back from growing into a million-dollar Salon.    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!  What you need is this one secret strategy that will teach you how to grow your business by attracting the right clients to your Salon….   That’s why I want to introduce you to Taylor Rae. Taylor is a one-of-a-kind business coach living in Melbourne, who specialises in strategies ranging from client attraction to manifestation. Taylor works with women all over the world to implement marketing strategies that they need to propel their businesses forward and truly build the salon of their dreams.

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.    Success is actually how you define it. And I believe that reaching success comes down to a clear plan for where you want to go, a roadmap of how to get there, and having the support behind you to achieve it…oh, and don’t forget to have a little fun along the way! (Did someone say ‘wine’?!).   So today, I want you to meet the globally recognised and ever-inspiring Patrick Cameron, whom I greatly admire for his dedication to this industry.  Patrick was born and raised in a small town right here in New Zealand, and after 34 years in the industry, is killing it in the UK as a world-leading long hair specialist.   He’s also a successful educational speaker with a  training school for hairstylists and has worked with global Salon brands around the world, I know you will find Patrick’s story motivating, I know I certainly do! So, sit back, listen and enjoy!   Here are three reasons why you should listen to the full episode: Hear Patrick’s inspiring story of his 34 year-long career in the Salon industry Discover how taking risks in your career can pay off Learn Patrick’s expert advice for the Hair & Beauty industry.   Inner Salon CEO Snapshot https://bit.ly/MasterCEO (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.

Have you ever had a client threaten legal action against you and your Salon? As a Salon Owner, I’m sure you have had had a moment (if not, a few) where you have had to deal with a situation that has gone wrong, like a really bad colouring mistake, and in return had to deal with an unhappy (and frustrated!) client.    Something has gone wrong in the Salon; the service didn’t meet the expectations of the client and you are left to clean up the mess that has been left behind. Sometimes this may mean dealing with further legal action….Eeek!!  Unfortunately, that is just what happens when we work in a service-based, client-based industry, or is it?    Things are going to go wrong, humans are going to make mistakes, but it’s how we overcome these moments where things have gone terribly wrong, and have things in place to prevent them from ever happening again in the future. I want you to always be prepared for the worst-case scenario, the “what ifs”, because it may be the thing that saves your Salon. We need to keep ourselves and our Salons protected from anything that may happen in the future.    So, this is why I want to introduce you to Reonna Green, a hairstylist turned Lawyer living in the United States - how inspiring is that? Reonna is the founder of “She Trademarks” - an attorney that specialises in the beauty and hair world, I take my hat off to her for this!  Because Reonna is so specialised in our industry (there seriously aren’t many hairstylists/ attorneys!) then I know you will soak up everything she has to say on how to protect your Salon when things really turn to sh*t.    So keep listening to this episode and hear what she has to say….   Here are three reasons why you should listen to the full episode: Discover the fine print that you need to have in your Salon contract Learn about the ways you can protect yourself when things go wrong in your Salon Discover why it is important to have a consultation contract in place and how it can be the thing that saves your Salon.  Inner Salon CEO Snapshot https://bit.ly/MasterCEO (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.

Do you always feel like you have a never-ending to-do list?  Like nothing seems to get checked off, and as soon as that alarm goes off in the morning, you feel like you are already behind before your day has even begun?   Then, when your day does begin and you start ticking the things off that you want to get done, someone needs your help with a consultation, a client, or to run and pick the kids up from school, and then your list of priorities gets totally reshuffled.  You often find yourself lying awake at night, going through ALL the things you didn’t get done, instead of focusing on the wins of the day. You’re left feeling overwhelmed, stressed, and always behind with your business.   This is a feeling I know ALL too well. It is why I started becoming a Salon Business Coach, because I see it far too often. As a Salon Owner, you end up wearing too many hats and not having enough time to do ‘all the things’…in your business, with your team, with your family and god forbid you have ANY time leftover for you! So, that is why I want to introduce you to the ever-so-lovely, Mridu Parikh.   Mridu is the founder of Life is Organised, a company that helps female business owners know exactly what they need to do to become more organised. Mridu is also a business coach, as well as a mum to her two babies!  She has almost the exact same career journey as mine, so I knew that what she had to say about helping business owners with balancing overwhelm and stress, with all your demands and distractions (with your team at work and your team at home), would be a valuable listen for you!   I know the advice that Mridu has on this topic will leave you with strategies to make your business and life more productive… so keep listening to hear what she has to say!  Here are three reasons why you should listen to the full episode: Discover Mridu’s expert planning tips in the Salon Learn how to avoid overwhelm and stress in your business with this one strategy.

You need a strong Salon team in order to grow and be successful.    But having a team of stylists is only the beginning. You actually need more than just a strong team; you need a team of humans whose actions speak louder than words, who will support you when someone goes on maternity leave, who will cover for the team when others can’t make it in, and who will be able to manage the walls of the Salon, without you having to be there.    Because, as a successful Salon Owner, you want to be spending time away from your Salon, and to do this, feel confident that you can walk away when you need to and have an incredible team who will step up and have your back always...  Now we all know that this isn’t as easy as it sounds, right?   Sometimes it feels like you can’t catch a break with your team! You are constantly putting out fire after fire, and you are exhausted by the emotional rollercoaster that is managing humans. Well, I get you, and you are not alone.  For this week’s episode of the Podcast, I want to help you navigate through team explosions. Do you know the ones that make you feel vulnerable and unappreciated? The ones that could lead you to your business-breaking point?   I want to share with you my fool-proof, tried, and tested strategies that will prevent these team explosions from happening in the first place. These are strategies that I used when I owned my Salon and that kept things running like a well-oiled machine, even when I wasn’t working in the Salon.

Do you worry that at any given moment, your team may leave and you will struggle to replace them? Like, every time you try to find a new team member or put out an ad, it never seems to work. It feels like no one wants to work for you!    You worry that you will never find any new team members, and since it feels like everyone is looking right now… your chances decrease even more! You feel like everyone else has all the team, and there is none left for you!    It has you constantly on tenterhooks; like you are being held hostage in your own Salon. ... and it’s frustrating because you feel like it’s out of your hands.  Somebody leaves and you have no one to move the clients to, so you get stuck doing them and going back on the floor.    You feel like you are in a constant revolving door, with every 2 steps forward comes 2 steps back.  Well did you know, you could actually be making some crucial mistakes when it comes to hiring.. mistakes I see SO many Salons making.   So, grab your copy below, press play, and let’s dive into the episode…    Here are three reasons why you should listen to the full episode: The real reason your job ad is not attracting the right stylists to apply.

Have you recently gone through a breakup?–and no, I’m not talking about a romantic breakup, I’m talking about a TEAM breakup! I actually think a team breakup can be ten times more painful than an actual breakup...AND it’s even worse when they start dating the Salon down the road.    You’re left feeling confused, stressed, and yet again having to solve the problem of why your team isn’t sticking around. Not only that, but you have to spend the time that you were GOING to spend working on growing your business, finding someone to fill the role.  It’s a vicious cycle, and unfortunately one I see all too often.   In our industry, this seems to be the most common, neverending problem all Salon Owners face, so you aren’t alone! Why aren’t my team sticking around? Why have I spent so much time training them, only for them to leave 6 months later? Am I not paying them enough?  BUT, what if we shifted our way of thinking?    In this episode of the Podcast, I want you to meet Sheryl Lee-Woodhouse. I have known Sheryl for years and with her extensive background in relationship management and Salon recruitment, you know she is going to give incredible knowledge on what you could be missing when it comes to your team. So, listen to the episode to hear her take on what is happening in the industry and what needs to change.

This is the moment you have been dreaming about since you began your journey as a young Salon apprentice. You’re now ready to take the next big step in your career and begin your journey as the owner of a Salon.    This is something that I believe is the natural stepping stone in your career when you have been in this industry for years and have learned all the hands-on skills you want to. Now, you are after something more, to pursue a different passion, which may be owning a business.  I was itching to dig my feet into something more and owning a business seemed like the perfect fit!    Whilst this is something that I’m sure you have considered at some point in your Salon journey, a lot of the time, people jump into it too quickly without considering all of the ups and downs of what actually owning their own Salon business may look like.  Sometimes, it takes someone else that has been in your shoes before, to let you know exactly what you are getting yourself into.    So, this week I knew I wanted to bring in my dear friend (and someone who I used to coach!), Louise May, to talk about what opening your Salon may look like for you. Louise is not only a Salon mentor, successful business owner, and Magazine editor of Hair Biz Australia, but she is also an incredible mother and wife to her family. Learning from someone that has not only taken the same leap as you but has been successful in doing so, will be so valuable for you listening! Here are three reasons why you should listen to the full episode: Discover the clear pathway for salon success so that you can feel ahead of your business without constant sleepless nights  Learn the secret around what being a Salon Owner is actually all about (trust me, it’s not what you think!)

Have you ever had a client walk into your Salon doors and then never return?    Their stylist is left feeling confused and slightly upset. A million thoughts are racing through your head. Did they not enjoy the end result of the colour, cut or style? Was it too expensive? What got missed?  In our industry, we have all had this happen before (I know I have!). It’s just something that you have to accept when running a client-based business…or is it? I want to show you a way to avoid this from happening that has nothing to do with the hair itself.    Just imagine you’re a client who has had the busiest day, work’s been hectic–or perhaps it’s been a tough day with your kids–and you come flying into your hair appointment at a new salon (that you almost forgot about). The hairdresser, who doesn’t know you, your hair, or what you like having done comes over, swings the chair around to the mirror, and starts working away.  At the end of the appointment, you leave the Salon, and whilst you may actually like what the hairdresser has done, you think to yourself that you won’t be returning any time soon.    Do you know why that may be?   I know I say this often, but as Salon Owners our job is always more than just hair.  It’s so easy to get caught up in getting your clients in and out of the Salon looking good, but what about actually feeling good?    This is something that I knew I had to get the lovely Natalie Varrasso to talk about in this episode. Natalie was practically born into the industry and has been a Hairstylist/ Salon Owner for 30 years. Natalie is not only the author of the must-read book “Love Your Hair: Discover your Best Hairstyle”, but is known in Australia for her unmatched customer service and incredible consultation settings.    So, let’s dive into the episode and hear all the secrets from Natalie on how to truly provide a 10/10 client experience in our Salons, that will ensure we have clients coming back through our doors each and every time!  Here are three reasons why you should listen to the full episode: How to get clients coming back every time without dropping your prices The one thing you are missing with your Salon consultations The real reason you are losing clients to the Salon down the road.

Do you ever look at someone that is successful, someone that is winning at life, and want your life to be the same? We’ve all been there. It’s part of being a human. But I also believe it’s part of our biggest downfall to success and growth.    Why? Because everyone’s story is different and everyone’s journey to success is different. Whether it is the salon down the road, or a Salon you follow on social media, everyone has gone on their own journey to get to where they are.  When I owned my own Salon, I would always admire other Salon owners and compare what their business looked like on the outside to my own. They looked like they had a perfect team, great clients, and even better, a perfect work/life balance.    I want to help you on your journey. I want to share my experience with you, not so that you can compare your journey to mine, but so you learn real-life strategies that actually work and that helped me grow my million-dollar Salon. These are things you can implement in your Salon, so you can become the successful Salon owner you have always dreamed of. This episode is the third (and final) part of my Level Up series that walks you through my Salon Annual Planner. This episode will look at all areas of your business, your income, hours, mindset, EVERYTHING that influences your role as Salon CEO.   What are you waiting for?

Do you ever feel like you are getting nowhere with your Salon?    Like, no matter what steps you are taking, you can’t quite move the needle at the right time and place. On top of this, you have couple of rocky years and it’s a recipe for constant setbacks, overwhelm and stress. I’ve seen SO many Salon Owners going through this recently... Luckily, I want to change this for you. I want to show you that one step, whilst is so simple, can actually be the most important in your journey to success.    This is the thing I wish I had known about when I had my Salon, and can be easily overlooked when you are too busy “doing” all things in the Salon, rather than working “on” your business.    Do you want to know what the secret thing is? Join the top percentage of Salon Owners, who are to be the ones that go for it, putting their goals and ambitions first? …or do you want to keep your Salon as it is? I know which option I would choose, and the one that ended up changing my entire life and Salon for the better.   This episode is Part 2 of my Level Up series and will teach you how to unpack where your Salon currently is, what the 3 most important things are that you should be focusing on, and the big rocks of your year.    All you need to do is download your own copy of my Salon Annual Planner below and click ‘play’ on this episode!   Here are three reasons why you should listen to the full episode: The truth about how to level up your business that the salon down the road doesn’t want you to know about Secret - The real reason you weren't prepared for 2021 After only 30 minutes, you will have a full plan for 2022, ready to kickstart your year.  Level Up 2022 To access the full Level Up Guide & the Salon Annual Planner, https://www.salonownerscollective.online/level-up-2021 (CLICK) here Apply to Work With Me in 2022  Come and work with me this year by joining my Salon Mastery Program.

You want to be a successful Salon Owner, right? Maybe even a million-dollar Salon Owner?   To live a lifestyle where you choose the hours you work, but earn enough to enjoy a life outside of the Salon, so you can spend more time with your family and doing other things you love? It’s the dream….however, it’s not going to happen just like that! If it was that easy, everyone would already be there.   To get to this point in your career, it comes down to being committed and dedicated. You have to build a business of clients that are loyal to your brand and will follow you and your team. You can’t grow a successful Salon without a team, so it’s crucial you gain respect in the industry from your peers and future team members. It requires you to think beyond the chair. I don't know about you, but when I became a business owner, I wasn't fully prepared for all the roles I'd have to take on! Like, you have to be good at more than just cutting hair, right?! You have to create a culture that people are inspired by, with a vision that is unique.  If you want to get there, I believe with the right tools and advice, anyone can… and I want to show you how.    I am so excited about this episode. Antony Whittaker has been in the industry for decades, and his journey is almost parallel to mine, which is why I find Antony so inspiring and relatable. After being globally recognised for his work in the Salon, Antony began inspiring others on how to be successful business owners and not just hairdressers.  His knowledge and experience will be extremely valuable for you as we move into a new year, hopeful of achieving those dreams you have always wanted...   Here are three reasons why you should listen to the full episode: The real reason behind the setbacks you are facing as a Salon Owner The one thing you need to do when planning for 2022 How to become a Salon CEO without working longer hours Inner Salon CEO Snapshot https://bit.ly/MasterCEO (CLICK HERE) to get your hands on it Apply Now: Come and work with me in 2022 by joining my Salon Mastery Program.
