The chair pays the bills. The business is what keeps them paid.
Beauty professionals build something rare. Skill, a loyal client base, and a chair that people will wait weeks for. Turning that into a business you own is a different skill set entirely, and nobody teaches it in cosmetology school.
Sherian McGhee of Rainy Expressions and Kanecia Davis of Klassy Kutz are sitting down for an honest conversation about what salon ownership really costs and really returns. They will talk through their own journeys, the decisions they would make differently, and the day to day work of running a shop.
The conversation covers managing operations, building and keeping clientele, marketing and branding your shop, working through the hard stretches, and making the jump from working the chair to owning the business.
Come with questions. This one is built for stylists, barbers, estheticians, nail techs, and anyone who has been quietly planning their own shop.
Hosted by REACH Women’s Business Center, a resource partner of SBOSS Montgomery, the Small Business One Stop Shop.
