Why Most Commission Salons Fail (and How to Fix It)

Let’s get one thing straight: Commission salons aren’t dead. They’re just being built the wrong way.

I talk to salon owners every single day who are frustrated, exhausted, and totally over the old commission salon model. If you think commission salons are the problem—think again. The real issue is the outdated way the industry taught us to build them.

Here’s the truth: A modern commission salon can actually be the most profitable, scalable, and supportive salon business model out there— if you build it right..

What If Commission Salons Were Structured Like This?

🖤 Stylists setting their own schedules

🖤 Unlimited time off (without the guilt trip)

🖤 Access to all the tools, resources, and support they need

🖤 Earning potential that’s performance-based—not capped

🖤 A real path for growth, leadership, and personal branding

🖤 A team that’s bought into the vision, not just the paycheck

This is exactly how I built my salon.

And now I help other salon owners do the same—because let’s be honest, we’re done repeating the old school blueprint that left everyone feeling undervalued.

Why Salon Owners Struggle with Commission Salons.

Most commission salon owners I coach come to me feeling:

• Burned out trying to manage every detail of their team

• Unsure how to create profit while paying stylists well

• Afraid of walkouts, high turnover, or “toxic” team dynamics

• Overwhelmed by systems, marketing, and leadership gaps

I get it—I’ve been there. I had to completely rebuild my salon from chaos to a thriving, multi-six-figure team by rethinking the old-school commission playbook.

How I Help Salon Owners Build Scalable Teams

I’ve built commission salons. I’ve scaled teams. I’ve made the mistakes, fixed the gaps, and created systems that now let me lead without burning out.

When we work together, we focus on:

• Building a custom commission structure that motivates your team and boosts profit

• Hiring and retention systems to find the right stylists (and keep them)

• Leadership and team culture building so you can step out of the chair and lead

• Financial forecasting and pricing strategies for sustainable growth

• Creating a salon experience and brand that attracts your dream clients

• Automation and systems that give you your time (and sanity) back

You Don't Have To Do This Alone.

If you’re tired of outdated salon models and ready to lead differently, I can help.

I’ve helped countless salon owners shift from chaos to clarity, from burnout to freedom, and from “just getting by” to creating multi-six-figure commission salons that run on autopilot.
