Enhancing Customer Experience in Salons and Beyond

In this episode, Jen and Todd discuss the importance of creating an amazing and consistent customer experience, drawing parallels between the restaurant industry and salons.

They share personal anecdotes to illustrate how unexpected challenges, like gridlock during a family trip, can offer insights into business and life, emphasizing the value of adaptability and positive reactions in uncertain situations.

The conversation then shifts to the significance of focusing on training, culture, and systems rather than just aesthetics or amenities in business settings, using salons as an example.
