Private 1:1 coaching remains available with limited availability.I’m taking you behind the scenes of my 2026 planning process and sharing what I’m doing differently to break the cycle of constant busyness and move into a more strategic, intentional year ahead.

This year, I brought in secret shoppers to evaluate the Opulent Beauty guest experience and their feedback showed me gaps I didn’t know existed. From consultation flow to front desk systems to service consistency, this experience reshaped how I’m approaching growth and leadership next year.

Inside the episode we walk through:

Why I’m investing in one-on-one coaching again
What the secret shopper results revealed about my salon
The importance of looking at your business through an unbiased lens
How I’m prioritizing development, systems, and accountability for 2026

This episode is perfect for any salon owner who feels like they’re running on fumes or growing without clarity and wants a more strategic way forward.
