    Did I Build My Salon Systems the Wrong Way?
    Mar 15 2026
    Most Salon CEOs are stuck being the walking, talking version of the manual no one reads. Larissa breaks down a simpler, smarter way to build systems your team will actually use, so your salon can grow without you being the answer to everything. You wrote it all down. The process. The steps. The expectations. Maybe it’s beautifully laid out and colour-coded and you were quite proud of it, honestly. And yet… Your team still comes to you! They ask the same question, do it differently anyway, and then wait for you to step in. So now you’re stuck! In this episode, you’ll discover why the traditional way of creating systems keeps you trapped, even when you’ve already done the work. 3 Reasons You Need to Listen
    1. Why some salon teams adopt systems instantly… and others ignore or even resist them.
    2. The one approach that makes systems actually stick.
    3. What needs to change before your salon can truly run without you.

    👉Ready to grow a systemized salon business in 2026? Want an operating system that operates without you, that you can have complete control over… but don't have to be the one that is controlling every moment of every day? ✨ Salon Mastery might be the perfect next step for you to get there.

  • Your Salon Depends On You Too Much

    Your Salon Depends On You Too Much
    Mar 8 2026
    If your salon still relies on you for every decision, the problem may not be your team: it may be your systems.

    In this episode, Larissa Macleman and Joel Bouzaid unpack how repeatable salon systems create consistency, accountability and true freedom for salon owners ready to step into CEO leadership.

    🚨 “Can I swap my shift?” 🚨“How do I do this consultation again?” 🚨 “Hey, can I take Saturday off?” With every question you get... There’s another decision you need to make… and the business lands right back on your shoulders. This is an (exhausting) sign that your salon is missing 1 critical part. 3 Reasons You Need to Listen
    1. The easy process that frees you from decision fatigue
    2. Why most Salon systems or Manuals die in a drawer collecting dust, and how to actually engage your team
    3. The simple shift that transforms you as a leader.. not lost in the noise of your team

    Salon CEOs don’t burn out because they lack passion. They burn out because they built a business that still depends entirely on them. Systems change that. And the moment you install the right ones, everything gets a little easier 👉 If you’re an ambitious CEO and your Salon is making $10K+ per week, this is for you… The $1Million Salon Growth Plan for 2026….
