The Salonology Show

With just 54 sleeps till Christmas, ‘tis truly the season to share your salon’s wonderful atmosphere with those around!

The prospect of holding a seasonal event can be equal parts exciting and intimidating, particularly for the smaller salons among our industry, but it’s worth the worry with the connections and collaborations you can create by opening your doors for an event.

Join us as we kick off the 2nd year of The Salonology Show (yes, last episode was in fact the podcast’s 1st birthday) with topics ranging from what’s next after you achieve business freedom, Ryan’s dream Lego set, and some hilarious anecdotes from a somewhat intoxicated visit to Epcot...

This episode of The Salonology Show covers:

• Whether it’s a good idea to hold a Christmas event this year for your salon
• What’s next once you’ve finally achieved true business freedom
• Ryan’s dream Lego sets
• The best of Disney’s parks & rides
