166. Feedback is a GIFT!

What’s up you guys! It’s been a minute, but I’m so excited to share this story with you. This episode started as a rant during my mastermind power session about why feedback is truly a gift — if you let it be one. I dive into how often we get complaints, how we gather and encourage feedback, and how I personally handle certain situations. I also share a recent experience I had at a restaurant where there was clear false advertising. Instead of getting mad and never going back, I chose to speak up, and they made it right. I may joke about being a “Karen” sometimes, but I genuinely believe it’s much more valuable to speak up and share honest feedback. Also, "Karens" are mean and I am not mean, just honest. I have so much respect for people who speak up because it’s the number one way we grow in business. I hope this episode shifts your perspective from seeing complainers as a pain to seeing them as a gift. Enjoy!

161. 3 Ways to Keep Your Stylists Busy Behind the Chair

This podcast is brought to you by @marlobeautysupply ! If you aren’t shopping at Marlo beauty already, you HAVE to check them out! Here are a few ways as a salon owner to keep your stylists busy: First off - you need to look cohesive and professional or stylists will not want to work with you. Market to the stylists and clients you want to work with - that brings me to # 1 1. Establish a brand! Use canva to create a brand kit - I will be talking about this in my class on Monday (the 360° Guest Experience - comment 360 below for details) 2. Work a content strategy - post 3 kinds of content and focus the most on awareness and consideration content and less on conversion content - ads are much better for conversion content to retarget the clients viewing your content which brings me to # 3 3. RUN ADS! We are always running ads to keep our staff busy. It’s a great way to buy back your time and retarget the people viewing content. It takes 16 times of seeing your brand for someone to make a decision to book it’s a no brainer to run ads otherwise you’re gonna book slowly! Salon owners if you need help with this it is absolutely insane not to join my Mastermind Group @thenetworkmastermind. Here you will have access to 1 coaching call / month with me (group LIVE q+a) and my 2025 curriculum the 360 Guest experience plus all of my other online education for $50/month.
