  • Jen's Rollercoaster Journey of Buying a Salon
    2024/11/25

    We changed things up in the inner sanctum for this episode. It was Samara's turn to interview Jen about her recent experience of buying a salon. Jen shared the challenges and triumphs of her journey, and boy, was it a journey.

    From the initial decision to buy a salon to the drawing and planning phase to the various obstacles she faced. Let's say that dealing with solicitors, bankers, etc, is not something she's keen to do again soon.

    They discuss the importance of having clear goals, remaining resilient through difficulties, and the value of speaking up and seeking help.

    In the end, despite the unexpected difficulties, Jen has found joy and fulfilment in the birth of her new salon, August Hair Co. This chat highlights the importance of clear visions and strategic decisions in business ownership.

  • Highlight 8: What to outsource if you want to grow?
    2024/10/21

    In this highlight, Samara and Jen explore the important distinction between scaling and growing a salon business. They share insights from an inspiring business leader who explains how scaling involves expanding your team and stepping away from the floor, while growing focuses on increasing efficiency by adding support without necessarily increasing the size of the team.

    They discuss practical tips for salon owners, such as hiring the right staff to support growth, like a receptionist, salon assistant, or social media manager. They also talk about the importance of understanding the roles you delegate, making sure you know how things work before outsourcing tasks like bookkeeping.

    The conversation emphasizes that success doesn’t always mean scaling up with a large team—it’s about finding the balance that works for your goals. Samara and Jen provide valuable advice on managing growth and deciding if scaling or growing is right for your business.

  • Journey from Stylist to Salon Owner, with a side of IVF with Casey from Maverick Hair and Art
    2024/10/14

    We're back in the Inner Sanctum with Casey, the owner of Maverick Hair and Art on the Gold Coast. Casey shares her journey of taking over the business she had worked in and changing from stylist to owner.

    In 2021, the COVID-19 pandemic brought challenges for the new business owner. Maverick is located on the Queensland and New South Wales border which meant many of Casey's staff and clients were stuck on either side. We discussed her collaboration with a salon across the border to sustain their businesses.

    Casey talks about delegation's importance, team dynamics, and flexible management style. The episode also delves into the logistics and challenges of hiring, training staff, and running a unique salon that incorporates art.

    Additionally, Casey shares her personal journey undergoing IVF treatments while maintaining open communication with her team. We wrap things up with insights into managing stress, embracing change, and the importance of community over competition.
