Salon Goals

Salon Goals is where we talk about what actually goes into running a profitable, sustainable beauty business — the kind that doesn’t rely on you being everywhere, and doing everything, all the time. I’m Lauren Lappin, a 7-figure salon owner and business coach. I’ve spent the last 12 years building and running a staff-led beauty business, and coaching other salon owners through the same challenges. This podcast is where I share the conversations I wish more people were having earlier. You’ll hear honest, practical episodes on leadership, money, systems, team management, pricing, growth, and the decisions that matter once your business moves beyond survival mode. No trends, no aesthetics, no surface-level advice — just real insight based on what actually works in the day-to-day of running a salon. Some episodes are solo. Some are conversations with industry experts. All of them are designed to help you think more clearly, lead more confidently, and build a business that supports your life, not consumes it. If you want to run your beauty business properly — with structure, intention, and long-term sustainability — you’re in the right place. New episodes are released every Tuesday.
