"I never thought we would tell this story."

The Conscious Salon

Welcome to a special edition of Conscious Salon podcast, beaming straight from the Gold Coast! Join us as we share the space with our dear friend, Rache Mahon, and her vivacious daughter, Allegra, for some raw, unfiltered conversations about the trials and tribulations of our business journey. Ever pondered what could possibly be so outrageous that it prompts a professional to sever ties with a client? We have, and we're holding nothing back while discussing it.
As we peel back the layers of our adventures in the hairdressing industry, get ready for some jaw-dropping tales of banning clients, managing demanding personalities, and navigating inappropriate interactions. We also dig into the gritty subject of money, specifically the missteps we've made with our business funds. We've got some cautionary tales about ill-judged investments and the lessons we've learned from them. The plot thickens as we talk about how to handle employees who might be stealthily causing discord.
The twist in our narrative arrives when we recount a heart-wrenching episode of a serious accusation made against us by a former team member, and the fallout that followed. We navigated through a stormy week of multiple staff resignations, but emerged stronger, learning invaluable lessons about fostering a positive work environment. We've faced our share of challenges, but the silver lining is the resilience we've built, and the robust, supportive team that stands with us today. Come, join us for this profound conversation that promises life lessons aplenty!
