Lead From The Heart
Live Coaching Programme
Did you think about becoming a leader when you opened your salon?
Could you imagine back then the responsibilities and challenges that leadership would bring?
I’d put money on it you didn’t!
Are you confident in your skills behind the chair, but feel out of your depth when it comes to leading your team?
Or are you thinking of yourself more like a manager?
Poor leadership can really affect you personally as a salon owner, not to mention your business. Plus, the happiness and job satisfaction levels of your team, and ultimately, how long they stay with you.
Poor leadership costs time, money, and the mental wellbeing of you and your team.
So what does poor leadership look like?
Poor leadership isn’t just being a tyrant or dictator. It isn't always being overly strict, rigid, and just not that nice.
It can also be...
Just being absent.
Tolerating bad behaviour and not recognising the good.
Being so burned out yourself that you have no capacity to lead.
Not giving your team a clear career path.
It can be not being clear about what you expect, then being disappointed in the outcome.
Failing to provide a safe and secure environment, both physically and mentally.
Making someone a manager, then giving them no direction or support.
Leadership is not really talked about in our industry, and there’s not a lot of training out there designed for hairdressers.
We are often made managers because we are the busiest or been there the longest, but never given any training🤷
So it’s just not the way we have done things…but this doesn’t mean we can’t change.
Do you say things like…“I just want to be friends with everyone”
Then feel overwhelmed, taken advantage of and resentful?
Or maybe the vibe just isn’t how you would like it in your salon?
This can only change from the top down, so you must learn how to create and sustain a culture that you love and want to work in every day.
Do you struggle with the idea of leading? Does it feel uncomfortable?
I believe you must lead your team…people want great leaders, it makes them feel secure.
Feeling secure is a big reason people stay somewhere long term.
I recognise now that many of the salons I left over the years failed to create a safe environment and this is why I left.
But I didn't have the skills or knowledge to understand that until I trained as a psychotherapist.
Plus I didn’t have the power to change things anyway or feel safe enough to complain.
One of the big ways I want to contribute to the mental health of all hairdressers is to support the leaders.
“Everyone is leaving to go freelance, is it worth even bothering with leadership coaching?”
At the moment, I see a revolution coming from the bottom with people leaving to go freelance.
So I want to support you as a salon owner to make the changes needed at the top.
I speak to salon owners regularly and I hear them recognise through coaching, they were so focused on putting out day to day fires, and being exhausted themselves that they forgot to lead.
They start to see that what is going on in their salon is due to lack of clear direction and leadership.
Have you ever had such a busy week spinning plates, that you haven’t had time to check in with your team?
Do months go by where you haven’t done coaching sessions?
Are most mornings spent in the whirlwind of getting set up for clients, so that team communication falls by the wayside?
Testimonial
😊
"Lead From The Heart was eye opening and one of the most valuable courses I’ve invested in. I have owned a salon for nearly 10 years and wish I had known what I learnt on this course from the day I opened my doors. All of the topics and units were interesting and give you valuable tools you can implement back into your business and managing your team.
The bonus videos and interviews with people Hayley knows from the industry were brilliant, took a few little nuggets away from those as well. Not only that but the peer support and different ideas and opinions from the other members of the course with varying experience and backgrounds is invaluable.
The cherry on top is Hayley herself, her psychotherapy background combined with being a hairdresser is a superpower!! Hayley makes everything fun, listens, gives you ideas with a little therapy along the way and really cares about what you are getting out of the course. So if you put in the effort you will 100% benefit from doing Lead From The Heart."

The problems for a hairdresser are very different from that of salon owners.
You’ve levelled up from behind the chair, and now it's a new level, new devil.
Your problems used to be - Janet doesn’t like her new haircut.
But now it’s sorting out dramas between staff and trying to support team members with their mental health.
Becoming a clear, thoughtful leader with a system can really help with your stress around this.
Maybe you have just buried your head and hoped things would just work themselves out with time?
Maybe you are just not sure what to do, so you manage the salon day to day and hope for the best.
Maybe you are struggling to recruit and retain staff right now -this is the biggest complaint I hear from salon owners.
I believe one way to hold on to the great staff you have and attract great new team members is by focusing on building a fantastic culture within your salon, the word will spread😊
Are you a salon owner who leans towards the too nice side of things… this leadership course is for you.
It’s for salon owners who want to create great places to work and want their team to be happy, but not at the cost of their sanity and free time.
To be a modern leader you need to think of yourself more as a coach than a boss.
In the Lead from the Heart live coaching programme you will learn how to start thinking like a coach.
For hairdressers to stay in employed salons they need to see how their career is developing, what is possible and validation for their hard work.
They want you to help them achieve their dreams and goals.
Otherwise, they are going to start pricing up sheds in their gardens.
