About this episode

Kayla Swanson interviews Brian “Leo” McCallum about maintaining the soul of a salon while achieving business growth.

Some salon owners don’t burn out because they hate the industry. They burn out because somewhere along the way… they stopped recognizing the business they built. In this episode, Kayla Swanson sits down with Brian “Leo” McCallum, owner of Roar Hair & Beauty in Glasgow, Scotland, to talk about building a profitable salon WITHOUT losing the soul of it in the process. Leo shares how he grew from a one-chair studio salon into a thriving 3-location brand while staying deeply connected to the culture, values, and guest experience that made the business successful in the first place. This conversation is about identity, leadership, protecting your culture, and building a business that actually feels good to own.
