I want to tell you a story about the struggling salon owner. Probably very similar to your own. You craved a space of your own, to surround yourself with like minded individuals, to have freedom, to create something bigger than yourself. So you set out to find a space, lock in a lease, start buying things, start hiring people…Then, life starts spiraling when you look at your bank account statements. Where did all the money go?
So you pick up more shifts behind the chair. Your friends and family begin to suffer, and heck, you begin to suffer as the burnout sets in.
Sound familiar? Yeah I’ve been there too.
I soon was running a 6 figure business by the age of 28 working behind the chair with an assistant 3 days a week.
The problem with an employee based salon is the multitude of tasks and logistics that you’re constantly keeping tabs on.
I somehow managed to create a structure that kept us profitable from day 1 and we had amazing success our first year, even after opening at the end of 2020.
