    31. Salon Smart: Loneliness

    31. Salon Smart: Loneliness

    Inspired by a talk by Monica Teodoro from L'Oréal, we're sharing our thoughts on ways to make the salon a buzzing hub of genuine connection.

    Find out why a natter with your clients isn't just fab for your business—it's a brilliant remedy for loneliness too! Plus we need to remember that while our interactions with clients can be fulfilling, they should not be our only source of personal connection.

    And let's not forget the cherry on top: self-care! While a good chat at work is lovely, it's just the start of the journey. So, grab a cuppa and join us as we discuss how to feel a bit more connected in and out of the salon.

..hannah.f.. ,

US Nail tech with ADHD and mental health issues and really enjoying this podcast!

I just found this podcast and I really am
enjoying their conversations and I’m only a few episodes in so far. The adhd and mental health topics really resonate for me. I’m about to increase my business from very part time to fulltime and I’m curious if you’d do a podcast about business planning (I saw the future you episode but haven’t listened to it yet, so maybe this already covers that?) I’m switching from a salaried job to running my business and I want to make sure I can create a stable foundation for myself from the get go and for my future self. Thank you for this great resource. ❤️
