306 Building a Salon Culture That Creates High Earners

This week, I’m picking up where Episode 304 left off, diving deeper into the practical strategies that successful salon owners use to build strong teams, great cultures, and profitable businesses.

If you've ever asked yourself, "Why can't I find good people?" or "Why won't my team step up?"  this episode is for you. I'm walking you through the exact traits, systems, and standards that top-performing salons share from how they hire, to how they train, to how they reward results. 

These aren’t theories. These are lessons from real salons, doing real numbers, with real six-figure stylists. And the good news? You can implement them too.
