Salon
Consulting Services
Over
the past 30 years, I discovered that while most salon owners are experts
at hair styling, they don't always have a good grasp on the financials
of running their businesses.
Most
of my clients say that they never look at their numbers because when
they DO they don't UNDERSTAND them. Through consulting, we can close
the gap by helping you understand business financials and empower
you to take actions that will make a measurable difference in your
bottom line.
Profit
holes are those areas of your business that hemorrhage money and human
energy. It can happen in dribs and drabs, or rapidly, in every segment
of operations. But velocity doesn't matter. If money flows out of
your business quicker than it flows in day after day and year after
year, you are in trouble. Needless expenses add up, draining your
present resources and jeopardizing future wealth…for your organization,
for you. The saying, "If you are in a hole, stop digging,"
couldn't be more applicable or critical if you want to stay in business.
Stop digging and let’s start filling in the holes in your bank
account, your joy, and your success!

Special Clients:
One client expanded her salon to include a private wig room to serve individuals undergoing chemotherapy accompanied by hair loss.
Another client, a philanthropist at heart, raises thousands of dollars yearly for community organizations.
Many has endured industry "walk outs" and survived stronger than before.
During the financial and economic challenges over that past 2 - 3 years, salons showed amazing endurance. One client personally offered to his unemployed clients, a complimentary make over so when they were called for an interview they could look their best!
Many salons offered discounts on hair coloring services when they heard that clients were unable to come in as often. Discounts that affected their bottom line but they still did it.
What clients say about me:
- My best take away from our talks was tangible "how to" information that I could use immediately. Especially this past winter when everything was crazy and changing with our salon.
- My thoughts each time we would talk would be "Great I need to talk" or "I hope I can learn something new from this discussion".
- Hold me responsible for the things I need to do to keep the business profitable.
- First, teach me what cash flow is and then help me control it.
- Helped me make changes.
- Helped me to get rid of fire starters and increase profits.
- I run my business rather than flying by the seat of my pants.
- Look forward to our sessions.
- Helped me make sense of my life through my work as a hairdresser.
A message from a client:
There are several results that came from working with you (and I hope that we are not finished)...
I was empowered to choose whether to keep my salon and try to grow the business, or to sell my salon.
I came to the realization that I would rather be behind the chair doing hair as opposed to being an owner,
And I was able to sell of my salon and move forward, knowing that the decision was the right one for me.
I do not regret my decision one bit.
The best take-away from us working together so far is not only a friendship and business relationship and understanding to last a lifetime, but my realization of the power of choice, and that I have that power within me at all times.
When I looked at my schedule and saw we had a meeting my initial reaction was usually two-fold...
Great, I need these issues to confront and talk about because I want to work through them,
and I could not wait for the voice of reason, understanding, guidance, and compassion.
The long term results of this relationship will have an everlasting effect.
Both in my business life and my personal life.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart and I will talk to you soon,
Your friend and admirer, GS |
