As we approach 2025, it’s crucial to recognize the difference between having authority as a leader and having influence. While authority is about your position and the power that comes with it, influence is about your ability to inspire and motivate those around you. In today’s salon environment, focusing on influence is key to fostering a thriving culture and retaining top talent.

Why Influence Matters

Influence goes beyond your personal leadership style—it needs to be a collective effort from your entire leadership team. If your leaders are not embodying this mindset, you risk stalling your growth and losing talented stylists. In fact, if potential team members don’t feel inspired by your salon's leadership, they may choose not to work with you at all.

Leadership in the salon industry requires a specific mindset, a set of skills, and structured processes that empower your team to engage with clients and each other effectively. When your leadership team operates with influence, they create an environment that not only attracts talent but also keeps it.
