HOW I RUN A CHAIR RENTAL SALON | LAURA KHESIN | STYLIST & FOUNDER/CO-FOUNDER OF 2 SALONS | MA

Tune in to hear Laura Khesin share how she runs a chair rental salon!

KEY TAKEAWAYS:

-- A salon for independent stylists is not a set it and forget it business. I still have to manage my clientele while managing the business: supplies, social media, onboarding, collecting rent, and coaching stylists to help them succeed

-- Be a team player as an equal in the salon

-- SAVE YOUR MONEY AND INVEST IT WISELY!

-- YOUNG STYLISTS: It is very easy to start spending money as you build your book. Be smart, save and invest.

“I THINK HAIRSTYLISTS ARE THE COOLEST, NICEST, AND MOST FUN GROUP OF PEOPLE ON THE PLANET! I AM PASSIONATE ABOUT USHERING IN AN EMPOWERED-STYLIST FUTURE, AND I ABSOLUTELY LOVE GETTING STYLISTS FROM ALL WALKS OF LIFE TOGETHER IN A NON-COMPETITIVE ENVIRONMENT WHERE WE CAN LEARN, LAUGH, AND GROW TOGETHER.”
-Said by ME!
Robert started his hair journey as a kid in rural America offering haircuts on the street to kids in the neighborhood, not realizing, one day, he would find himself working the front desk at a hair salon while in high school. From there, his experience from salon-to-salon has included the front of the house, back of the house, stylist, educator, and consultant. It was during this movement through various salons he developed a passion to empower stylists and educate owners on how to raise the industry standard of excellence, mutual respect, and professionalism amongst stylists, managers, owners, and clients. Robert currently is the General Manager and a Master Stylist at Violet Salon in Georgetown, DC.
