“Brit, I hope you see this because I desperately need your guidance. I will try to keep this simple and as straightforward as possible.
I worked in an upscale departmentalized commission salon for 6 years. Management unfortunately severely micromanaged and lacked leadership, so slowly colorists and stylists left the salon. Eventually I couldn't take it either and left with 3 other girls where we became booth renters (2 stylists & 1 colorist). It was great because we were able to own our businesses but still work side by side with each other like we did at the commision salon. We have been at this booth rental together for 7 years. Business as been good but not at the level where I thought I would be at this point of my career.
I found myself lost and didn't know what to do. After Googling and researching how to grow my business, I stumbled across your podcast. Everything you coach to hit home and I HAD to become a Thriver. Ever since joining, I revamped my website through Website Academy, rebranded my business and now have a clearer vision of where I want to go.
I have only been a part of Thrivers for a short time and I already see a glimmer of hope. I cannot wait until I am further into the program and see where my career takes me. With that being said, I have invested my time and money on building my business but the girls I work with, don't have the same drive. I'm starting to get resentful because the more I'm zoned in on growing my business, they benefit from it since we share clients. They don’t do anything to change or evolve. They don't even have a website or consistently show up on social media. When I grow, they grow because they cut and I color.
They complain about the same thing with their businesses but they don't seem to want to do anything about it. Recommended your podcast/program and provided suggestions on how we can better network to enhance our businesses. However, they strictly see that they are OWN businesses and they have no desire to build a culture together. Which is unfortunate because I feel like we would kill it if we were on the same page.
Not to mention I LOVE the owner of the salon but she lacks updating the space and the little she does to spruce up the place is done very cheaply and clients are starting to notice. This is ruining my brand that I have worked so hard for.
I MIGHT have another opportunity 6 minutes away from the salon I am currently at with another salon that provides booth rentals. So far she has many perks you coach to like, a week free rent for vacation, reduced rent for maternity leave and extra amenities for my clients. Her space is also so my vibe and I can tell she just cares more. If this works out I'm worried i'll lose my clients because it is very convenient for them to get a cut and color back to back instead of making two separate appointments. I'm also worried it will cause tension among the girls I work with because it's going to affect them in some capacity too. I don’t know how to tell my clients about the move if I decide to do so and avoid putting them in an awkward position. I mentioned this opportunity and suggested we move together but they aren't too receptive or open to the idea. I just feel like I'm being held back and I don't want to ruin what I already worked so hard for. HELP!”Read full review »
