665: The 2026 Hybrid Salon, with Michelle Senour

Salon and spa leaders, this episode explores what the 2026 Hybrid Salon really looks like and why so many owners are rethinking traditional commission-only models. Michelle shares her real journey of evolving from a large employee-based salon to a thriving hybrid space that blends commission stylists with renters — while protecting culture, standards, and education. You'll hear practical strategies for hiring, onboarding, pricing rent, and managing shared logistics so hybrid models feel collaborative instead of chaotic. The conversation breaks down how transparency, mentorship, and structured systems create opportunity for stylists without sacrificing leadership or brand identity. If you're wondering how to future-proof your salon, attract high performers, and design a model that gives both owners and providers more freedom, this episode gives you a clear blueprint.
