GUIDE

“The most impactful parts of the Circle group for me are the inspiration and clarity it provides. Whether it comes in the form of an idea I haven’t considered, a creative solution to a problem, or simply the understanding of like-minded leaders that walk the same path. I leave every session stronger than I arrived.”

Debbie Rodriquez Mar | Director of Operations, So Chic Salon Brands

The Challenge:

  • Staff recruitment and retention

  • Team accountability

  • Client retention and acquisition

  • Staying current with trends and technology

  • Financial management and cash flow

  • Inventory management and cost control

  • Absence of collective problem-solving capabilities

  • Feeling isolated in decision-making

  • And much more...

What if you could accelerate your salon's growth through the collective wisdom of industry leaders who truly understand your challenges?

“Our work gets lonely. It gets hard. It gets defeating. But when we’re together, we get lifted up. We formed trust so quickly because we are like minded - that’s the value of the group being curated. I so look forward to our time together, it is always relevant and relatable.”

Sue Arens | Former President, Studio Be Salons

Shared best practices:

Business Growth:

“I didn’t know how much I needed this until I was in it. It’s 90 minutes of truly curated conversation to make sure that there’s an outcome. There’s always a celebration but then there’s also that lightbulb moment or that challenge that leaves you thinking - “Okay, I can do it better, or I can do this differently.” And it’s these incredible relationships that I wouldn’t have forged another way.”

Megan Jasper | VP Operations, Gadabout Salons & Verve

Who this is for:

Salon and spa owners, managers, and leaders who are looking to scale their businesses and who may feel isolated in their decision-making and growth challenges.

Right now, you might be:

  • Consumed by day-to-day decisions, while bigger opportunities for growth and innovation slip through your fingers. Despite your best efforts, taking a real break seems impossible – your salon is always on your mind, even during vacations or family time.

  • Instead of strategically guiding your business forward, you're constantly reacting to the next urgent situation. You've become the default person for every role – from operations to marketing to HR – when you should be focused on leading and growing the salon.

  • Even though you know delegation is crucial for growth, letting go of control feels risky and uncomfortable. And perhaps most frustratingly, you're so caught up in managing today's challenges that planning for your salon’s future keeps getting pushed aside.

These are common struggles for successful salon owners and leaders, but they don't have to be permanent obstacles to your growth and success.

Research shows that 99% of your success depends on just one thing: Who you associate with.
