This week I’m answering a question from a Thriver and listener of the podcast who is talking about a salon walkout that recently happened, and I share how I would have approached handling the situation, in the hope that it provides some lessons that you can use in the future. This is what business ownership really looks like, and it’s all about the highs, the lows, the learnings and the hardships. I want you to take this time to look closely at your numbers and the structure in your salon, because there are amazing people out there who want to learn, can be mentored, and would absolutely thrive in your system!  If you have a question for me that you’d like answered in a future episode, a great way to do that is to head over to Apple Podcasts and leave a rating and review with your question. I’m looking forward to doing more of these types of episodes on the podcast! If you’re not already following us, @thethrivingstylist, what are you waiting for? This is where I share pro tips every single week, along with winning strategies, testimonials, and amazing breakthroughs from my audience. You’re not going to want to miss out on this!

#255-The Story of a Salon Walkout

The beauty industry has changed dramatically in the last 10 years.  

The days of hoping your good reputation and referrals was enough to grow or maintain your clientele died out and successful stylists today need a real marketing strategy.

It's actually never been easier to grow a clientele as a hair stylist or a business as a salon owner, yet stylists are giving up or struggling more often than they are thriving in this incredible industry.  

When I was first building my clientele, I realized immediately that nobody was teaching true business skills and long term strategies to stylists or salon owners.  What good is a license and an entrepreneurial passion without the skills and knowledge to actually make big things happen?

The Thriving Stylist podcast is a collection of interviews from super successful but not yet famous stylists, one-on-one coaching opportunities and actionable, strategic marketing techniques that you can use in your business today to see real results.

I'm Britt Seva, Social Media & Marketing Strategist for Hair Stylists and I look forward to helping you to create a wealthy life as a stylist.

If you’ve been listening to the podcast, you know we’ve been on a roll with these exposé-style episodes, and I have another good one for you today!
