Description

What do you do when your Salon team goes from 30 to 60 overnight?


I sat down with celebrity stylist and salon owner George Gonzalez, as he shares his journey through massive growth, team mergers, and fearless leadership.

 

We talk about:


     - What he learned behind the scenes with Oprah Winfrey
     - How he navigated the unknown while scaling
     - The leadership approach that helped him successfully merge two salon cultures
     - What’s next as he prepares to take over another 55-staff salon

 

If you're a salon owner scaling up and craving freedom, this is your blueprint.
