You're running a salon, but sometimes it feels like you're just putting out fires instead of building the business you envisioned. The Fix Podcast is for that exact feeling. Hosted by Salon Punk, these conversations dig into the real, often unspoken, challenges of salon ownership and management. This isn't about abstract theory; it's a practical dialogue focused on the systems, mindsets, and strategies that actually work on the floor. Each episode feels like a candid back-room chat, tackling everything from staff retention and client booking patterns to pricing, marketing, and the financial clarity that turns a passion into a sustainable enterprise. We get into the nitty-gritty of daily operations because that's where the real transformation happens. Tune in for honest stories from the trenches, actionable advice you can implement immediately, and a sense of community that reminds you you're not figuring it out alone. This podcast exists to provide those crucial "aha" moments that help you stop working *in* your business and start working *on* it, building something resilient and rewarding.
