304 The Self-Perpetuating Salon Leadership Crisis

In this episode, I’m diving into a conversation that might annoy some people, but it’s a conversation that needs to be had. We’ve got a leadership crisis in our industry. Not because people don’t care, but because too many salon owners don’t realise what they signed up for when they opened their doors. Leadership isn’t optional. It’s the job.

This episode is for every salon owner who wants their team to succeed but feels stuck, frustrated, or just plain exhausted. I’ll break down why so many stylists aren't earning what they could be and why that’s partially due to the leadership (or lack of it) they’re working under. 

If you want a business that thrives and a team that sticks around, this one’s for you.
