  • Please re-listen to the episodes back

    I LOVE LOVE all the content you guys put out. But I have to say (and I’ve left a previous review saying this and hoping for change) Kayla mumbles and talks entirely TOO fast at times and it’s a complete turn off to the listener bc what she has to say is great… but if you can’t understand her, then what’s the point. The guests speak slowly and clearly mostly.

    Please please Kayla , you are so fantastic on here, just work on this. Thank you and I appreciate you guys. D

    2) something Ike’s the audio for one person is great but then the other person is so low Kat I end up Turing the volume way up to barely hear and the the other pe... more

What Jobs Will AI Eliminate in the Salon Industry? | EP 263 | Profitable Salon Owner
Q: What jobs will AI eliminate in the salon and spa industry forever?
AI will replace many repetitive, marketing and content-management tasks while acting as a highly capable assistant that can generate playbooks, standard operating procedures, and automated workflows; the key is using AI as a thinking partner to accelerate decisions and output, not to remove human judgment entirely.
4 Ways AI Can Increase Your Salon Revenue | EP 260 | Profitable Salon Owner
Q: What was your experience when you started dipping your toes into AI for the salon?
We realized we were missing guest experiences because the front desk wasn't always able to connect with guests, so we started using an AI tool that handles after-call texting, guides guests to book, cancel, or reschedule, and integrates with our software—adjusting to our brand voice over roughly a month.
Why Change Is the Catalyst Your Salon Needs | EP 259 | Profitable Salon Owner
