Expanding from one salon to two is more than a business decision—it’s an emotional and strategic leap that requires clarity, capital, and courage. In this episode, Kati shares real-world insights on recognizing the right opportunity, why turnkey locations can be a gamechanger, and how to protect the culture of your original salon while building a second. She breaks down the importance of treating each location as its own entity while maintaining brand consistency, along with key financial and leadership considerations. If you’re thinking about scaling, this episode will help you move forward with intention—not just excitement.
