Over the years, I’ve seen many salon businesses, and inevitably, some stand out more than others.

Some of them stand out because of the decor, others for the culture, some for their size and some for their success as a business.

My guest today is Meagan McCormack, President of Visible Changes salon group in Houston, Texas, which is without doubt an amazing business. 

Meagan offers incredible insights on leadership, creating a positive culture, and the importance of authentic connection in today's salon environment. Whether you're running a large salon group or a small independent salon, Meagan's wisdom about adapting to change while staying true to your values will inspire you.

In today’s podcast, we discuss:

●     How a salon group the size of Visible Changes has continued to evolve as a business.

●     How they have adapted to suit the changing needs of today's workforce

●     Why they are expanding more into the product side of the industry  

And lots more!
