Running a salon on “good vibes” sounds great in theory — until the day the vibe disappears and you realize there were never any real standards holding the team together. In the beauty industry, salon culture isn’t created through energy, personality, or hoping everyone gets along. Salon culture is built on consistency, accountability, and clear expectations that every stylist understands and lives out every day.

In this episode, we break down the truth about salon culture: the difference between vibe-based culture and values-based culture, why “good energy” can’t replace leadership, and how unclear expectations lead to resentment, inconsistency, and breakdowns inside your salon team. If you’ve ever felt like the culture in your salon is slipping, confused, or depends too much on individual moods, this conversation will help you see exactly where the cracks are.

You’ll learn how to define what your salon culture actually stands for, how to set standards your team can understand and follow, and how to enforce expectations without feeling harsh or controlling. We also dig into why salon owners struggle with enforcement, why stylists sometimes push boundaries, and how shifting your leadership style creates a stronger, more stable beauty business.

We talk about accountability, professionalism, stylist performance, communication, boundaries, and what it really takes to maintain a healthy team environment in a commission salon or spa. You’ll walk away knowing how to protect the culture you want, correct the culture you have, and rebuild trust inside your salon — not through vibes, but through leadership.

If you’re ready to stop chasing “good vibes” and start creating a salon culture built on values, clarity, and consistency, this episode will show you exactly where to begin and how to lead your team with confidence.
