We all face challenges, but looking back would you describe it as a relatively smooth road?
For decades, it was a pretty smooth road. Surviving decades of economic swings, we learned to pivot and bring on new services and listen to our clients and stylists.
The past 6 years has been more difficult with the on set of mega landlords buying up centers causing expenses to significantly rise. For over 33 years, we had 6 salons. Selling/closing 3 around covid. Our Vista location was sold to a long time manager who she and her daughter worked for me for decades. She asked if I would ever sell the salon to her. I did, keeping with my parents vision that a family business could financially set the future. The other two were shut down due to Mega landlords taking over the centers. A lot of our Penasquitos stylists transferred to our Carmel Valley location. The projection for salons to recover Covid was 5 years due to the 3 shut downs during covid. Our Murrieta location was hit with a mega landlord, then Covid which caused employees to reevaluate and retire or move out of state. We brought a lot of the stylists to our Fallbrook.
Can you tell our readers more about what you do and what you think sets you apart from others?
We are known for exceptional work with stylists that stay. You don’t see a lot of turnover, mostly due to stylists moving. Most of our stylists have been with us between 15- 20+ years.
We care about our clients. We make 30 minute appointments so that we can take the time to do the finishing touches to make the hair cut look and move better. Our goal is not quantity like many of our competitors. We balance. We a lot twice the time, encouraging doing the finishing touches to achieve excellence and to allow for more time to truly listen to what the client wants.
We try had to keep our prices reasonable. We didn’t raise our prices this year even though our costs skyrocketed. We knew our clients were struggling so we cut our costs where we could to offset not raising our prices. We also greatly reduce prices on all our retail. We carry Pureology, Olaplex, Moroccan oil, Redken, Enjoy, Paul Mitchel, American Crew, Kenra, Wow, It’s a 10, Brazilian Blowout discounted between 15%-25% daily.
