Thriving Stylist Podcast

Have you ever taken part in walkout at a salon, and if so, why did you do it and how did you feel during this time? This is a topic I know by living through it and from coaching salon owners who have experienced it, but I wanted to go deeper, so recently I posted an Instagram poll on walkouts to get feedback from my followers. Let me tell you, the engagement I received on walkouts was off the charts! In this episode you’ll get the real story on walkouts, including personal stories from stylists, stats, and lots more! It’s clear that what used to work in the industry will not work anymore, and it’s time to step into the new evolution and look to the future. For salon owners who do this, the best is yet to come. To those who don’t, I’m here to coach and guide you in the best way possible to shift your perspective so that you can join the new generation in the industry!
