I recently saw a Facebook post in a salon owner group regarding a very serious topic, so I decided to chime in with what I would do in this situation.

I was completely surprised by the responses I received from other salon owners in the group saying I lacked empathy.

At the end of the day, we are running businesses. And it is our responsibility to keep our team and clients safe.

Losing a stylist is never easy. In fact, it's one of the most stressful situations as a salon owner.

A lost stylist usually means losing a valuable team member and a lot of revenue. It leaves you scrambling to fill this vacancy and worrying about finances and what will happen to your salon.

In this episode you'll learn what I do to protect my salon in case someone leaves & how you can successfully offboard your stylist.

At the end of the day, we are business owners who have to make decisions that are best for our business.

Salon ownership & suite rental are not the same thing.

As someone who has both rented a suite & ran a commission salon, they are two different things on two different playing fields.

I've coached countless suite renters who took the leap to salon ownership and they were completely shocked by the difference between the two. I'm here to bring awareness to this topic so you know what differences to expect.

Both have pros and cons, but one is not better than the other. The best choice is one that makes the most sense for you & your goals!

Stylist freedom sounds awesome, especially for salon owners who built up their clientele during the 90s and early 2000s.

After giving stylist freedom a true go for over a year in my commission salon, I found it did more harm than good. That being said, I no longer offer full-on stylist freedom to my team.

Removing this "benefit" for my team wasn't easy, but the way I did it resulted in not one stylist quitting. In fact, my stylists are busier than ever after this switch.

Unfortunately in the beauty industry, many of us aren't well prepared for retirement.

Unlike other industries that offer traditional 401Ks and other retirement support, many of us are left to figure things out on our own.

When we plan, save and invest, we can cut out a huge amount of financial stress from our lives. Having extra money in the bank also allows us to take risks, get out of situations we don't like, and more.

I'm sharing everything I do as an entrepreneur and salon owner to prepare for my retirement.

Onboarding new stylists is a huge expense, and losing stylists is even more expensive.

What are you doing to make your new stylists feel comfortable and welcome, and how are you streamlining the onboarding process?

In the last year, I completely shifted the way I onboard and the difference is clear. My new hires feel more confident & are comfortable coming to me with questions. Plus these new hires have stayed and seen growth.
