Should You Stay or Should You Go? How to Know When It's Time to Leave Your Salon In the last 10 years, I've worked in more salons than I'd like to admit. And almost every one of those moves was a mistake I could have avoided. I moved because I was unhappy. I moved because I thought the next place would be better. I even moved because I was desperate and needed somewhere to go. Now I'm moving again. Only this time, I'm paying more every month, on purpose, and I have never felt this clear in my entire career. In this episode, I share what I got wrong, what I finally did right, and the questions to ask yourself before you make a move. In this episode, you'll learn: ✂️ The three most common reasons stylists leave a salon, and where each one goes wrong ✂️ The mistakes I made moving from salon to salon, and the lesson behind each one ✂️ Why trusting your first instinct matters more than you think ✂️ The five steps I took this time: getting clear, knowing my numbers, building a plan, and negotiating ✂️ Five questions to ask yourself before you decide to stay or go Five questions before you move: Am I moving toward something, or just running away? What did my gut tell me the first time I walked in? Do I know my numbers? Can I afford this if my book stays the same for three months? Have I checked out the owner and how the business is really doing? Does this place fit where I want to be in two or three years? Memorable moment: "Every time, I was moving away from something. I was never moving toward something." ⏰ Cutting with Confidence: available until October 15th My course, Cutting with Confidence, teaches you everything you need to cut hair with confidence: the haircutting foundations, the structure, and the client consultation and communication skills that made the biggest difference in my career.
