Where’s the line between friendship and professionalism in a salon? Between client care and personal connection? Between confidence and cosmetic tweaks?

In this week’s episode of Studio Make It Happen, we’re talking about all the ways things can get blurry behind the chair — in the best and most complicated ways.

💬 Are close friendships in the salon healthy or risky?
💇‍♀️ Can clients get too comfortable?
📣 What should stylists market — themselves or the salon?
💉 And yes, we even get into Botox, tummy tucks, and what we would do if we ever get famous.

This episode is funny, reflective, and full of the moments you don’t usually hear in a beauty business podcast.

Are you struggling to keep your salon profitable? You’re not alone — and we’ve been there.

In this episode of Studio Make It Happen, Megan is joined by her husband Brad, an executive at Dana Corporation, to talk about how they turned things around after nearly losing the salon. From financial chaos to clarity, this is a behind-the-scenes look at what really goes into running a profitable salon — especially when pricing, product costs, tariffs, and business burnout hit all at once.

🎙️ What we cover:
– How we realized we were in trouble
– Brad stepping in to take over the finances
– The power of Salon Scale and client customizable pricing
– Raising prices without losing clients
– Head Spa implementation + increasing service value
– Real talk about ownership, partnerships, and mindset shifts

Whether you're a salon owner, stylist, or small business dreamer, this one’s packed with insight and honesty.
