Experience teaches us what we will or will not accept. It teaches us to set boundaries and standards in our personal lives and in business. Salon rules are the result of past experiences. Some salon rules are “handed down” to warn us of what not to tolerate. Salon rules are in place not to be mean or difficult, they are in place to protect us and protect our businesses. On this week’s episode, I’m talking about Salon Rules: From Our Perspective, the Hairstylist Perspective. I’m talking about why they are necessary and how to communicate them in a way that is firm yet respectful.

Many of us are burned out because we are behind the chair too much. We are working crazy hours, offering “after hour” appointments, and squeezing people in. And after we leave the salon, we’re still working. Responding to text messages and scheduling appointments. Have you ever thought about how many hours you actually spend working in and working on your salon business? I’m sure it’s much more than 40 hours per week. In this episode, I’m talking about time, owning it and making the most of it.

We talk about our business often, thinking that everyone that follows us has already seen or heard our message. But did they really see it? Do they really know about it? In today’s episode, I’m talking about why it’s important to market your business, regularly, and how to market several different ways to reach your dream clients.
