Ahhh, summer. The season of sunshine, sandals… and salon owners accidentally letting their momentum nosedive into a beach chair.

Look, we all need rest. But if you’re treating July like a business sabbatical without the systems to back it up, Lexi’s got news for you: you’re about to f around and find out. 🙃
