S2E4. You Can’t Call Yourself a Salon CEO If You’re Breaking the Law

The Station is the go-to podcast for salon owners and solo stylists who want to grow a stable, profitable, system-driven beauty business.

If you’re building a commission salon, running a team, working as a solo stylist, leading a spa, or trying to understand the business side of the beauty industry, this show gives you real conversations and practical strategies you can actually use. We talk about salon leadership, team culture, client retention, pricing, profit, scheduling, boundaries, service systems, stylist performance, and what it really takes to run a successful salon or beauty business in today’s industry.

Every week, we dig into the everyday challenges beauty professionals face: managing a team of stylists, navigating salon drama, improving the client experience, raising prices with confidence, creating clear systems, building six-figure careers, reducing burnout, and growing a salon that doesn’t rely on you for every single thing. If you’re tired of feeling overwhelmed, stretched thin, or stuck in survival mode, this podcast helps you build the structure, identity, and leadership skills you need to move forward.

Whether your goal is to become a six-figure stylist, grow your commission salon, step into the CEO role, or simply gain more control and clarity inside your beauty business, The Station gives you straight-up guidance, beauty-industry strategy, and a whole lot of “that’s exactly what I’ve been dealing with” moments.
