Episode 15 - Linton & Mac - The times they are a changin.

It used to be that running a successful hair salon meant doing great hair and providing great service. Today it’s so much more than that. Add a global pandemic to the mix, and a new wave of staff that demand a different way of working and you have a very different business than you once had, and the way you change and adapt will determine your success. Meet dynamic duo Jenn Linton & Jaye Mcdonald, owners of Linton & Mac salon in Aberdeen Scotland. Not only is their entrepreneurial spirit infectious, but you can’t help fall in love with their honesty and vulnerability. In this episode you’ll hear how these business partners first (and friends second) adapt to an ever changing industry and how what they once knew for certain is now more unpredictable than ever.

Episode 14 - Open for business, retail business

This one is for salon owners and professionals. With e-commerce well and truly leading the charge globally in the hair & beauty industry, does this mean traditional brick & mortar retail as we know it is dead?In this episode, we chat with ELEVEN Australia North American Distributor Manager Jeff Peterson who like us, definitely disagrees. In fact now more than ever as hairstylists and their clients come back to their salons, the retail game needs to be treated as Jeff describes “a business within a business”. It’s no secret that some of the biggest global fashion and lifestyle brands do merchandising really well, and Jeffs 360 degree approach not only mimics these brands, but insists that in order for a salon’s retail game to be strong, they need to create a space that their clients feel is an experience. A place to have face to face education on the benefits of their hair care and ultimately a place where they want to buy.
