    How to Recover From Burnout

    How to Recover From Burnout

    What is your WHY? 

     

    As Salon Owners, we wear many hats; we’re managing our team, growing our business, serving clients, looking at spreadsheets and talking to your accountant and… wearing all of those hats, can start to feel overwhelming. Time with your family seems like a distant memory when all you do is work. 

     

    But, when you get stuck in a bubble of working in and on your business… literally dreaming about spreadsheets… you can start to lose your passion. Without a passion for what you do, working on your business can feel like a chore. It can become draining and you start to think… is this worth it? 

     

    This is why you need to remember your WHY! 

     

    When you feel like giving up, remembering your WHY can give you the motivation to keep going… even for 10+ more years. Remembering your WHY will help you feel energised and passionate about your business. 

     

    In today’s episode, I’m chatting to Sonia, who after 15 years of running a successful Salon… suffered from burnout. Sonia is going to be sharing her top tips and tricks for remembering your WHY. Here is How to Recover From Burnout. 

     

    Here is why you should listen to the full episode:

    Learn how to recover from burnout 
    Understand why it’s important to remember your WHY
    Know key strategies to help you rediscover your passion

    Your Salon Wasn’t Comfortable…

    Your Salon Wasn’t Comfortable…

    As Salon Owners, we always do our best to make our clients feel relaxed and welcome in our Salon… right? 

     

    But, we might’ve missed something.

     

    Have you ever asked a client if they would prefer to chat or just sit quietly with a magazine? Or, if they would prefer to sit in the far corner that’s away from all the other chairs? And… have you asked your team these questions too?

     

    We want everyone to feel safe and included in our Salons, but first we need to start having a conversation with everyone in our Salon about what they NEED. You won’t know what someone needs until you ask! 

     

    If you’re not thinking about inclusion, diversity and mental health… it’s time to start. It doesn’t need to feel like a big rock, you can even start with one small change… 

     

    In today’s episode of the Salon Owners Collective Podcast, I’m chatting with Shortcuts co-founder Jo Burgess about mental health in the Salon (for your clients AND your team!).

     

    Here is Your Salon Wasn’t Comfortable… 

     

    Here is why you should listen to the full episode:

    Learn the questions you need to be asking your clients and team
    Understand why mental health is important for your Salon
    Know how make everyone feel comfortable

    My Manager Took My Job

    My Manager Took My Job

    My Salon can’t push forward without me… 

     

    You know that feeling where you’re the Salon Owner but you’re also the biggest earner and a mother and a partner and you’re just doing all the things… you feel stuck. You want to grow your business but you can’t because you never have time to do anything outside of daily operations. It’s a cycle that can be hard to break. 

     

    A Salon Owner asked me how can my team and business push forward without me?’ and I thought it would be the perfect question to answer here on the podcast. You don’t need to feel stuck forever… you might just need a manager! 

     

    It’s time to get off the floor, bring in a manager and let your team and Salon grow without you! I promise you, it’ll be the best thing you ever do. 

     

    In today’s episode of the Salon Owners Collective Podcast, I’m chatting with Salon Mastery The Boardroom Coach, Joel, about why letting my manager take my job was the best thing I ever did… and how it can actually grow your business!

     

    Here is My Manager Took My Job.

     

    Here is why you should listen to the full episode:

    Learn the stages of growing your business
    Understand why it’s important to have a manager
    Know how to let your manager, take your job!

    How Hormones Impact Salon Success

    How Hormones Impact Salon Success

    Life is over at 30… 

     

    It can feel like that sometimes, right? You’re suddenly struggling with mood swings, changes to your metabolism, a lack of energy, feeling less productive and unable to focus… it’s tough. But it doesn’t need to feel like that, in fact, knowing this one thing can actually help you regain control of your life and your Salon… let’s talk about hormones! 

     

    Life doesn’t need to be over at 35… it’s just beginning! There may just be a few adjustments you need to make to your life. Hormones are part of who we are but they shouldn’t get in the way of you and your Salon’s success! 

     

    Hormones aren’t a topic that should be avoided because the changes to hormones are something we all experience (men and women!). It’s time we start welcoming conversations about our health and hormones so we can become better Salon Owners. 

     

    I wanted to share with you the key to navigating changes in your hormones to help you feel sharp and energised. 

     

    In today’s episode, I’m chatting to Anastasia Bennett from Life Hack Coaching to talk about How Hormones Impact Salon Success. 

     

    Here is why you should listen to the full episode:

    Learn how your hormones change in your 30s
    Understand why it’s important to recognise hormonal changes
    Know how to manage hormonal changes so you can be a successful Salon Owner

    How to Beat the Hiring Crisis

    How to Beat the Hiring Crisis

    You recruit average, you get average!

    That makes sense, right? But as an industry, we still post the same ‘We’re Hiring’ ad and hope that our next rockstar stylist or therapist is going to see it and walk through the door! But, we’re always surprised when nobody ever responds and we immediately jump to the idea of ‘we’re in a hiring crisis!’.

    But what if I told you that this isn’t entirely true… Salon Owners are growing their teams, some are even getting 50+ applicants per job ad! You just need to ELEVATE the way you recruit. Times have changed and saying ‘We’re Hiring’ isn’t enough anymore to recruit Gen Z and beyond… 

    You need to be shouting from the rooftops that you’re looking for your next rockstar! Because if you don't, who will?

    In today’s episode on the Salon Owners Collective Podcast, I’m sharing with you a LIVE Event I hosted in my Profitable & Successful Salon Owners Facebook group… here is, How to Beat the Hiring Crisis.

     

    Here is why you should listen to the full episode:

    Learn how to recruit in a hiring crisis
    Understand why your job ads aren’t working
    Know how to share your vibe and tribe

    Beauty Bias: Is Your Salon ACTUALLY Inclusive?

    Beauty Bias: Is Your Salon ACTUALLY Inclusive?

    You are too fat to be seen here….

    As an industry (and the world), we’ve made efforts to be more inclusive. Learning how to work with different hair textures and skin tones, understanding and respecting other cultures… and although we still have a way to go,  there’s one area of inclusion that we’ve left behind… weight. 

    How would you feel if one of your therapists, said this to a client? What sort of culture do you have in your Salon where your team thinks it's okay to say that to someone? Their comments might not be that obvious, by prejudiced comments around weight get made every single day, in just about every Salon. 

    Inclusion and diversity workshops and training sessions aren’t really the norm. But it’s time we start having those conversations with our team so that every client feels welcomed. 

    I wanted to share with you the importance of inclusion and diversity in your Salon and how you can have those important conversations with your team. 
    In today’s episode, I’m chatting to Sky McLaughlin from Larger Luxury to talk about the Beauty Bias: Is Your Salon ACTUALLY Inclusive?
    Here is why you should listen to the full episode:

    Learn what inclusion looks like in a Salon
    Understand why it’s important to train your team on the topic of inclusion and diversity
    Know how to have those (sometimes uncomfortable) conversations with your team

Dear Larissa, it’s rare that I leave a review but I had to take the time to thank you. So much to say and not enough space! I’ll simplify, I’ve been overdosing on many of your podcasts and I’m thoroughly enjoying and learning from them. I previously owned a small salon and got overwhelmed and overworked and sold it. Four years later I’m realizing I want to do it again! I’m scared and excited. I’m trying to learn from my mistakes and be brave. Thank you for all that you do, you are making a difference. I appreciate all your wisdom and your gas as well! Wishing you much success!
