We argue that salons don’t fail for lack of talent but for lack of leadership and a present operator. We break down why equity handouts and 1099 “owners” backfire, and how an operator-led, systems-first model helps people and profits grow.
• defining the operator: clear eyes, clear math, steady leadership
• why owner-absent businesses unravel over time
• the pitfalls of giving shares and golden handcuffs
• legal and cultural risks of 1099 “owners”
• lessons from Chick-fil-A’s owner-operator model
• building a farm system: select, train, develop
• systems that create safety, growth, and profit
• practical metrics that drive stylist success
• people first, profit as the byproduct
