314 When Is the Right Time to Expand? Luke Reynolds on Vision, Risk, and Reward

Описание: In this episode, I’m joined once again by salon owner Luke Reynolds, who’s just taken a massive step that so many owners dream about, moving from a 50-square-metre boutique salon into a stunning, purpose-built space. Luke and I talk through the entire journey: the decision to expand, the design process, managing a ballooning budget, and the lessons learned along the way.

If you’ve ever wondered how you’ll know when it’s time to grow, or what it really takes to pull off a move like this, you’ll love Luke’s honest insights. From cash-flow pressures to a 75% revenue jump and a 600% growth in colour services, it’s a conversation packed with practical advice and inspiration for any salon owner with big ambitions.
