The Trouble with Comparing Your Salon Brand To The One Down The Street

In this episode, Nina dives into the trouble with comparing your salon brand to the one down the street, revisiting a Passion Squared blog post from 2014 on the importance of having clarity around your own salon brand story, and marketing strategy which includes your salon pricing, your business objectives, desired outcomes, overhead, and all the things. This episode also includes a little reminder about your rhythm, knowing that some days you’ll be in your flow, some days you’ll be on fire, and some days, like for Nina today, you will be in your slow era. All the days and eras matter. And so do you. You can find us on the socials here and here. Thank you for listening.
