Over the last few days, I’ve released three short videos (each less than 20 minutes) about creating a productive and profitable salon culture, and I’ve repurposed that video content for this podcast episode. 

Working in the salon industry is an exciting journey that can be broken down into three broad stages, each of which comes with its own problems and its own solutions. Getting the doors of your business open is just the first step, and it’s so important to be prepared for what comes next! 

Whether you are just starting out with your first salon or you’ve been in business for a while, this episode is full of insights from my experience in the salon industry that will be useful for any stage of your journey!
