OK, our title may be a little 'clickbaity,' but it got your attention, so it worked.
Here's what we talked about in this episode:
The hair industry is self-sabotaging itself by claiming only one path to success.
You don't strengthen something by dividing.
There is room for all models, pay structures, businesses, etc.
Renting is not new, it's not innovative, it's certainly not 'the future' (whatever that means), but that also doesn't mean there isn't a place for it. It's an amazing path for many hair pros...just not 100% of them. Contractors exist in all fields.
Commission salons aren't new or mostly innovative either, but that doesn't mean they're right or wrong for everyone. Again, 100% doesn't exist.
You will never keep 100% of your money. Sorry, folks, just reality.
These ideas and experiments are just different, and that's OK.
Think about a restaurant or any business; should every employee be the manager? It doesn't make sense. Some employees can't even show up on time or remember the specials, but we expect them to run the operation?
You need to figure out what you want from your career and then make choices that support that. You need a plan. You need some education in business.
The days of 'I'm not a numbers person.' are gone.
Regardless of your choice, it's your responsibility to collect the required knowledge BEFORE deciding to risk your career.
Be less influenced by influencers and wanna-be influencers, and do your homework.
