Ever dreamed of owning a salon, only to be met with a host of unexpected problems? Well, so did we! On today’s episode, we, Kelsey Morris and Abby Warther, peel back the curtain on the glamorous facade of salon ownership. We recount the rollercoaster ride of our experience, from the highs of transforming a historic 1860s building into our dream salon to the lows of dealing with unexpected issues like plaster, mold, and sudden water shutdowns. The journey wasn't always easy, but with a little grit and a lot of support, we were able to overcome them.We also dive deeper into the less-glamorous aspects of salon ownership, like faulty electrical panels and counting toilets. We share our stories of how we navigated through these unexpected challenges and learned the importance of being prepared and flexible. From broken water heaters to forgotten bills, we’ve had our fair share of headaches. But we've also learned that these hurdles are simply part of the journey and having a great team and support system can make all the difference. So, join us as we share our experiences and lessons learned, hoping to inspire and guide fellow salon owners to navigate their own hair-raising journey successfully.Save 10% on SalonScale here Follow Abby on Instagram, Thread, and TikTok at @abbywbalayageFollow Kelsey on Instagram and Thread at @kelseymorris18
