What if balance was never the goal? In this brutally honest episode, I’m tackling the myth of work-life balance for salon owners. You’ll learn why “perfect balance” doesn’t exist, what real boundaries look like, and how to reclaim your energy without burning your business down. From firing nightmare clients to fixing broken business models, we’ll get painfully real about what’s working, what’s not, and how to finally create a salon life that feels like freedom — not fatigue.

December should be your salon’s most profitable month — not the most exhausting one. Yet every year, salon owners work twice as hard and somehow earn less. In this episode, I’m exposing the three Christmas mistakes that quietly drain your December profits — and showing you how to fix them fast.

We’re talking about retail displays that don’t sell, bad booking habits that kill your revenue, and the discount disasters that destroy your margins. You’ll get practical, profitable fixes you can implement immediately, even if the festive chaos has already begun.

You’ll learn how to:

• Turn your Christmas retail into pure profit (without being pushy).
• Schedule smarter so your busiest weeks are also your most lucrative.
• Replace pointless discounts with offers that protect your margins.

It’s not about working harder — it’s about working strategically. Let’s make this December the one where you finally get paid what you deserve.

💌 Ready to stop repeating the same festive mistakes? Tune in, grab a notebook, and let’s get your salon sleighing it this Christmas.

Are you secretly giving yourself a pay cut? This week, I’m calling out one of the salon industry’s worst habits — working for free. Your costs have gone up, your rent’s gone up, your products have gone up… and if your prices haven’t, you’re quietly earning less for the same hours. It’s time to fix that.

In this episode, I’m walking you through when and how to raise your salon prices without losing clients or feeling guilty. We’ll cover what to say, how to handle pushback, and how to make sure your new prices reflect the quality you deliver every day. No drama, no apologies — just smart business and confident communication.

If you’ve been avoiding your price review, consider this your nudge to take action. You deserve to be paid properly for your time, skill, and service. Let’s make sure your next pay rise comes from you, not your clients’ good will.
