What would you do with a few more hours back in your day? Spend more time with your family? Squeeze in a few more appointments? Relax? No matter your answer, the beauty of being the boss is that your time and schedule is completely in your hands. We’re just here to help you spend less time doing busy work and more time doing what you love. Follow these 5 tips to save yourself time and give yourself the peace of mind you need and deserve as a go-getting salon owner. 1. Keep it Clean It’s easy to let things pile up, especially after a busy day in the salon.
