257 What Does it Take to Succeed in the Salon Suite industry with Eric Taylor from Salon Republic
Over the last 20 years, there has been a significant shift in the way the hairdressing industry works.\xa0
\xa0
Driven by changes in technology combined with social media and generational changes with today\u2019s hairdressers wanting more flexibility, more freedom and more control over when where and how they work has meant that new business models have emerged.\xa0
\xa0
Particularly in the United States the salon suite or salon studio has radically changed how the industry operates, and there\u2019s no going back. \xa0
\xa0
As a result the traditional commission based or \u2018employee employer\u2019 based business model has been dramatically impacted and is continuing to evolve in order to meet the demands of a changing workforce.

My guest on today's podcast is returning guest Eric Taylor, founder of the incredibly successful Salon Republic, which, in my opinion, has the best Salon Suite or Salon Studio business model in the industry.\xa0
\xa0
In today\u2019s podcast, we talk about
- \xa0How the salon suite model continues to evolve and adapt
- \xa0What you need to do to succeed as an independent business of one
- \xa0The challenges that all suites and small businesses face today
