In this month’s episode on KM.RADIO Nathan Gorman sits down with salon business coach and industry leader Antony Whitaker to dive deep into the realities of becoming an independent stylist or salon owner.

With more stylists choosing to step away from traditional employment and embrace the independence of salon suites, freelance work, and self-employment, together they unpack the skills and mindset needed to thrive in today’s landscape from leadership and team management, to financial planning, client retention, and the importance of hiring the right people.
