Episode #3: Big Salon to Suite Salon

04/15/22 • 14 min

Working in a big salon can be great for business, but it also comes with a lot of restrictions.

You may be limited on the days and times you can work, or you might not have control over your schedule.

Moving to a suite salon could be the answer. Suite salons give you more flexibility over your schedule, so you can work when and how you want. Plus, suite salons are more private and give your clients a sense of intimacy.

In Episode 3 of The Chair-apist, I interview Wyatt, my education partner at Kevin Murphy. We discuss his move from a big salon to a suite salon and how it has benefitted his business. Wyatt shares his insights on why the move was beneficial for him and how it has helped him take control his business.

You're tired. You're stressed. You need a break, but you don't know how to fit one in.

We all know that being a hairstylist is hard work. Between clients, color, cuts, and product education, your days are long and exhausting. Not to mention trying to stay on top of all of your everyday, life responsibilities.

We need to take the time to reset and recharge. Think about our businesses in a different way and strive to work smarter, not harder. Keep in mind, though that you may have to work harder at the beginning to give yourself the foundation to work smarter in the future.
