It’s all changing in the salon world
The time is now and the shift has already begun. The salon world is changing at such a pace and I don’t mean technology wise. I mean in the way we ‘do’ business. Once upon a time, being good at what you did was enough. The people would come. The standard salon menu held its […]
A different kind of list altogher…
As salon entrepreneurs, we run on to-do lists (yes, and caffeine!)… → Each and every day… → Ever increasing… → Never ending… → Overwhelming… We add the tasks we think we have to do and inevitably tick off the easiest to make us feel good. The dopamine hit of a crossed off task hits hard, […]
Are You Addicted To Being Needed?
I work with LOTS of salon owners and I see the same patterns popping up… → A severe allergy to delegation → An dangerous inability to say no → An overpowering urge to people please And maybe this is all because we want to feel needed. Maybe, just maybe… you’ve built your identity as the […]

Your college teacher lied to you….
Sorry to be harsh but she did. She told you that if you ever owned your own salon, you needed to fill your diary and that would make you successful. And maybe that advice worked 10 years ago… But now? Nuh-uh! That advice is dated. You’d have to be living under a rock to not […]
The Curse Of The Marshmallow Clients
There was a time I thought having a full diary was success. Because that’s what we were taught. Fill the diary. Fill the diary. Fill the diary. And to some extent, it worked. Back then, when I first had my salon in 2009, it was a philosophy most salons adopted. However, many still hold this […]
Be Careful What Advice You Consume
I promise I’m not starting a fight, but what’s your problem? I want to know what your biggest problem is, in your business. You see, we have become so accustomed to blaming the economy, the COL crisis, the weather, the parking charges, the taxes… that we maybe don’t look a little closer at where the […]
Why Salons Plateau… And Often Quietly Fade
Most salon owners don’t fail because they aren’t good at their job. Or because they don’t know the industry… Or because they don’t want to be successful. They fail in silence. Not in some dramatic ‘going out of business’ way. But in a way that causes them to slowly break down. They plateau, they hover […]
From Sitting On The Bathroom Floor Crying To Absolute Business Boss
This is the story of how Lorna took her side hustle job and turned it into an award-winning business. When Lorna chose her university course, she chose to pursue nursing. Which figures — she’s kind, caring and thoughtful. But, it was the job she took in beauty, to fund her course, which lit a spark […]
Bonds Build Businesses
Bonds Build Businesses If you haven’t heard me say this before, you can’t have been to many of my lives! It’s become a HUGE part of my mantra and a VERY important part of how we, as salon owners, should conduct ourselves. I calculated a few months ago, that if we see our clients […]
From Pen And Paper To Salon Software
I remember the moment I wrote the very first booking into my paper diary back in 2009. It was a memorable event because it meant someone wanted to pay me money to come to my salon. That meant it was real. It was tangible. And I had the appointment book to prove it. As […]
