Most salon team meetings are a waste of time. They're either non-existent or just you moaning at your team for 45 minutes while everyone stares at their phones.

Neither builds a better salon. Here's how to get them right.

The three camps:

• No meetings at all (no cohesion, everyone in silos)
• Occasional roasting sessions (owner's frustrated, nobody wants to come back)
• Rambling chaos (starts late, runs 90 minutes, nothing gets decided)

In this episode:

• Why I got this horrifically wrong for years
• The 45-minute structure that works
• Monthly minimum (when to increase frequency)
• What to include: Product training, promotions, wins
• What to exclude: Negativity, roasting, venting
• The agenda trick that prevents sabotage
• Your January action plan

Team meetings build culture and keep everyone aligned. Get them right.

I've been coaching salon business owners for almost a decade. Want to know the problem that keeps coming back? Owners working their asses off and barely paying themselves.

If you put yourself on your team's wage structure and couldn't afford to pay yourself, you're not building a business - you've built an expensive hobby that happens to have staff.

In this episode:

• The 3 reasons salon owners don't pay themselves (guilt, fear, confusion)
• Worker vs Owner: Why you need TWO types of income
• Wages for the work + Dividends for the risk
• Real 2026 numbers: Small salon (£36-54k), Medium (£54-80k), Large (£80-160k+)
• How to set it up in January and stop subsidizing your business

You deserve to get paid what you're worth. Let's fix this in 2026.

You don't need 100 members to make salon memberships profitable. You might not even need 50.

After helping 100+ salons launch membership programs, I can tell you exactly how many members YOU need - and it's probably fewer than you think.

In this episode:

• How to calculate your membership target based on YOUR actual numbers
• Why most salons need 30-60 members (not hundreds)
• Small salon vs. large salon targets - what's realistic
• The reverse engineering strategy: start with your overhead gap
• Why "more members" isn't always better

Stop guessing. Start with the real numbers that will transform your cash flow.
