In this episode, Kati Whitledge walks salon and spa owners through a modern, self-guided performance review process that empowers team members to assess their growth, goals, and impact. She shares how combining honest feedback, culture ratings, and clear review questions creates stronger alignment, better communication, and more meaningful development conversations. Kati also explains how understanding love languages at work and personalizing education plans helps leaders support their teams without burning them out. You’ll hear how mentorship recognition, engagement surveys, and thoughtful follow-ups can dramatically boost morale and retention. This episode is a practical blueprint for building a healthier, more growth-focused salon culture through intentional leadership and better reviews.
