| 10/14/26 | Your Salon Team Knows What to Do. So Why Aren’t They Doing It? | EP 267 | Profitable Salon Owner | Your team has heard the training. They have watched you demonstrate the process. They may even tell you, “I know.” So why are the results still inconsistent? In this episode, Kayla Swanson and HPSA founder Jason Everett explore the difference between recognizing information and truly knowing how to apply it. They explain why familiarity can create false confidence, how the phrase “Show me” opens the door to better coaching, and why demonstration is one of the fastest ways to uncover the missing steps. | 32m 22s | ||||||
| 10/7/26 | Stop Being the Stylist Who Owns a Salon | Tiffanie Whitt | EP 266 | Profitable Salon Owner | A big heart can help you build a salon, but leading only from a desire to keep everyone happy can put the business, the team, and the owner at risk. In Episode 266, Kayla Swanson talks with HPSA mentor and Reverie Hair Co. owner Tiffanie Whitt about the turning point that changed how she led. With a partnership buyout, a $30,000 HVAC bill, payroll pressure, and difficult team decisions all happening at once, Tiffanie realized the salon needed more than generosity. It needed standards, systems, profit, and an owner willing to make clear decisions. | 34m 01s | ||||||
| 9/30/26 | Has the Economy Already Crashed? What Salon Owners Should Do Now | EP 265 | Profitable Salon Owner | Has the economy already crashed, and salon owners just do not know it yet? In this episode, Kayla Swanson sits down with HPSA founder Jason Everett to talk about the economic pressure salon owners are feeling and the decisions that matter most when costs rise and guest behavior changes. They unpack why difficult business conditions are often easier to identify in hindsight, why salon owners need current numbers instead of assumptions, and how to adjust strategy without leading from fear. Jason shares practical ways to look for unnecessary expenses, protect the investments that support growth, improve your marketing and value, and help your team stay focused when results take more effort. This conversation is a reminder that a challenging season does not have to become a crisis. Healthy salons that pay attention, make intentional decisions, and continue solving real problems can strengthen their position while others pull back. | 28m 26s | ||||||
| 9/23/26 | When Commission Salon Owners Become the Villain: How to Rise Above | EP 264 | Profitable Salon Owner | Commission salon owners are often portrayed as the villain, but changing your business every time someone criticizes it is not leadership. In this episode, Kayla Swanson and HPSA mentor and salon owner Celene Dupuis explore how commission salon owners can rise above industry criticism without ignoring the feedback that could help them grow. Celene shares what she has learned from nearly 15 years of salon ownership, including how to remain grounded in your purpose, listen without reacting, explain difficult business decisions, and build a profitable salon that helps its people succeed. | 35m 03s | ||||||
| 9/16/26 | What Jobs Will AI Eliminate in the Salon Industry? | EP 263 | Profitable Salon Owner | AI is not about replacing the hands-on service your guests come to you for. It is about transforming the planning, documentation, problem-solving, and repetitive work that can keep a salon owner overwhelmed. | 23m 10s | ||||||
