This episode is a bit more of a vulnerable one that I'm a bit nervous, and excited, to bring to you today. I’m revealing how I personally overcame burnout, as well as what I learned from researching the key symptoms of burnout, and the profound changes I have made in my health, family, and professional life. 

As you’ll hear, I truly feel like I am still achieving everything that I want to achieve, but for the first time ever, I’m as close to balanced as I possibly could be. If burnout is holding you back, I hope this episode offers you the inspiration and tools you need to reset and recharge as well!

As salon owners, it's crucial to ensure that our businesses are sustainable for ourselves, our stylists, and our overall growth. But when we talk about being "fair," what does that really mean in the context of payroll? In this episode, I tackle the age-old question: “Can a salon afford to pay 45%+ commissions?, while diving deep into the numbers and exploring the significant impact payroll has on the bottom line for salon owners today.

By the end of this episode, I aim to give you a new perspective on this often misunderstood topic. It’s time to move away from vague ideas of “fairness” and instead focus on calculating a compensation model that’s truly beneficial for everyone in the salon—owners and stylists alike!

As a service-based industry, it is really easy to focus on the feels and the vibes because we are in this pressure cooker of an economy, and we start to make emotional decisions that are not good for business. I sat down to record this episode in urgency, because I want everyone to take a step back and really check the math on a piece of advice that has been going around Instagram about using a loyalty pricing model. 

This is a new pricing strategy that could be incredibly detrimental to your income, so I want to work through a number of different scenarios so that you really know what’s happening if you decide to use a system like this in your business!

Today’s episode is inspired by a message I received from an incredible Thriving Stylist podcast listener who is asking for guidance on how to build and grow her career as a commission-based stylist, while not having complete control over her career. 

As a stylist, I know that you want to grow, and you need to be in an environment where growth is supported. When you’re in this type of environment you’ll be in the driver seat of your career and in control of your future, and when you’re successful, the salon owner is too - it’s a win-win partnership!

One of the things that is most challenging for salon owners right now is attracting top tier stylists, and let me tell you, it’s because those stylists are looking for something different than they were just a few short years ago! I want to talk about how you’re operating your salon to not only attract the best stylists, but to also retain the key team members so they don’t want to make a move elsewhere, and it all starts with rethinking stylist goals and benchmarks for raises and promotions. 

In this episode, I share the key performance indicators (KPIs) that will always make sense in our industry, the ones that are dated, and what to consider when it comes to your marketing, core values, and more. 

I really want you to think about how you’re evaluating your team, and if you’re evaluating them on the metrics that actually determine the health of your business. If your promotion and evaluation structure is motivating you’ll have a much better chance in attracting and retaining top talent, and remember that your actions determine the outcome. So make sure that yours are aligned, and I hope this episode puts you on the right track to do so!

The question of whether someone can afford to rent a booth or rent a suite right now is one that I hear often, but this episode is not just for commission-based stylists or employee stylists who are considering leaving their current salon. It’s also for people who are renting booths currently, because let me tell you, there is a lot to consider with this type of business model! 

In this episode I’m breaking it all down, including the costs you need to consider with booth rent or suite rent, the way to be looking at taxes and write-offs, and what to keep in mind to ensure that your client is always receiving the best service possible, and not paying the price for you making a move that may not have been the right one to make at the time. 

In Thrivers Society we have tools and resources to help you make these important calculations, but even if you’re not a member, today I share a lot of the allocations and guidelines to consider that will help you if you’ve been thinking about renting a booth. I hope what I share helps educate and inform you as you potentially head into a season of change and growth!
