  • Question regarding a hybrid model salon.

    Hey Brit! It would be amazing to hear your thoughts on a future podcast episode diving into hybrid salon models, especially when it comes to the balance of booth renters and employees.

    Do you think they should be clearly differentiated in a salon’s branding and website?

    I’ve really struggled with how to make it clear to clients that booth renters are independent businesses who are simply renting space. It feels misleading not to distinguish them to clients, especially when I’ve often had rente... more

  • Accurately describes problems, not sure about solutions

    Long time listener, former Thriver, very informative podcast.

    Listening to your most recent episode on policies, I can’t help but notice that the problems of today were your own solutions of yesterday.

    With your direction and encouragement through the Thrivers program, these policies were rolled out and implemented. And now you’re quite accurately describing the fallout from this over- policization.

    So I wonder if your solutions for this will then become tomorrow’s problems. I do think you’re r... more

  • 2026 Predictions

    Britt-I listen every single week and value your advice so much as a stylist and booth rent salon owner. Your prediction about retail in salons in 2026 really struck a nerve…our retail revenue has declined from $78K in our highest year(2021) to $35K. Still a lot, but when I took your advice and added up the expense of carrying retail, the margin was small. I don’t want to stop carrying retail because I see it as a service to our clients and because the brand we carry (Moroccanoil) has become part... more

  • Pricing strategy

    How do you price in 2026? You have to have your fixed costs and parts and labor IS the model, even if it’s not stated that way. When we take out product costs before paying commission, that’s the parts. The client pays that. How do we price then, if we can’t call it what it is? How do we sell extra color so we aren’t eating it?

  • ALWAYS SO INSIGHTFUL!

    Thank you Britt for your 2026 predictions! They are always so helpful and thought provoking. I stood behind the chair and in commission salons for 10 years and then went booth rental for the last 5 years. I expanded in the education world, not on my own. I worked as a contractor for a manufacturer. Loved it but the traveling wasn’t suitable for me and my young family. So, I turned in my booth rental keys in, stopped educating as an IC and took a job at the cosmetology school I graduated at 15ye... more
