Hey lovers, we’re back!

It’s our first pod of the year, and we’re kicking things off with a chat you won’t want to miss. This week in the Inner Sanctum, we’re joined by Sherri from Timely, where she leads ANZ partnerships, working closely with partners in the hair and beauty industry. We’re talking about the real stuff – money, mindset, and why reaching out for support early (whether it’s a coach or better systems) can change everything.

Sherri shares her journey from salon owner to her role at Timely, plus how their booking and sales tools are helping beauty businesses work smarter, not harder!

And because Timely is all about supporting you, they’ve given us an exclusive discount for new Timely customers! Use code SALONRISING to grab 50% off your subscription for 3 months - https://app.gettimely.com/register

We changed things up in the inner sanctum for this episode. It was Samara's turn to interview Jen about her recent experience of buying a salon. Jen shared the challenges and triumphs of her journey, and boy, was it a journey.

From the initial decision to buy a salon to the drawing and planning phase to the various obstacles she faced. Let's say that dealing with solicitors, bankers, etc, is not something she's keen to do again soon.

They discuss the importance of having clear goals, remaining resilient through difficulties, and the value of speaking up and seeking help.

In the end, despite the unexpected difficulties, Jen has found joy and fulfilment in the birth of her new salon, August Hair Co. This chat highlights the importance of clear visions and strategic decisions in business ownership.
