Are you still clinging to cash in your salon business?

This week, I’m joined by @thecardmachineguy_ (Owen Toller) for a no-nonsense chat about the real cost of cash. From VAT headaches and banking fees to missed impulse purchases and risk management, we break down exactly why “cash only” might be holding your salon back.

We’re talking:

• The psychology of spending and why card users spend more
• What HMRC really thinks about cash-only businesses
• Time-saving, peace-of-mind benefits for salon owners
• How to reduce no-shows and protect your revenue with payment links

It’s spicy, it’s smart, and it might just be the episode that changes your money mindset.

What if the real secret to salon success isn’t a business plan—but putting your lifestyle first?

In this powerful episode, I challenge the hustle culture that glorifies overwork and shame around “small” businesses. Instead, I show you how to build a salon business that funds your dream life, not drains it. We’ll talk strategy, pricing, time boundaries, marketing sanity—and why your calendar should never be your enemy.

If you’ve ever felt pressure to scale just for the sake of it or been told your goals are too small, this one’s for you.

Listen now and let’s design a business that serves YOU, not the other way around.

Are you secretly worried that AI might replace you? You're not alone. In this empowering episode, I walk you through exactly why salon owners like you are actually in one of the safest—and most exciting—positions in business today. You'll learn how to future-proof your role, where AI can actually help rather than hinder, and how to start leading (not reacting) in this new tech-driven world. Plus, some sass, some science, and a serious pep talk from your queen of salons. Let’s fix that AI panic, darling.
