Retention is King--but where does it start, with Kati Whitledge

Written by Kati Whitledge | Feb 12, 2026 1:00:02 PM

In this episode, your host Kati Whitledge breaks down why client retention is the real growth engine for salon owners—and how increasing retention by just 5% can boost profitability by up to 95%. She explains why repeat guests spend more, stay longer, and why the second visit is the true tipping point for loyalty. Kati shares practical strategies to improve rebooking, follow-up, and client engagement using smarter systems and more personal communication. She also reveals how better client-provider matching (instead of “swipe-style” booking) dramatically improves long-term results, including real-world success stories. If you want fuller books, stronger relationships, and more predictable revenue, this episode gives you a clear, simple game plan.
