S2E25. The Salon Owner’s Shortcut to Profit: Benchmarks That Actually Matter


Listen Later

Want to start leading with more structure today? Grab our free Power Moves: Salon Strategy Edition—a no-fluff guide packed with the mindset shifts and strategic actions every salon owner needs—and start leading like the CEO you are.

Most salon owners chase the wrong numbers—busy schedules, booked-out weeks, or followers on social media—and still wonder why profit feels out of reach. The truth? Those metrics don’t pay the bills. Profit comes from tracking the benchmarks that actually matter.

In this episode, we’re breaking down the key numbers that drive real growth in your salon: payroll percentage, cost per hour, rebooking rate, and retail-to-service ratio. We’ll explain what healthy benchmarks look like, why flat commission rates will always hold you back, and how to use these numbers to make smarter decisions about pricing, promotions, and team performance.

If you’re tired of feeling “booked and busy” but not seeing the profit to match, this conversation will give you the clarity and structure to stop guessing, start measuring, and finally lead your salon with the confidence of a true CEO.
