Navigating Tariffs in the Salon Industry [EP:188]

Overcoming Business Challenges: Strategies, Tariffs, and Optimism

In this episode of the Hello Hair Pro podcast, Jen and Todd discuss the fears and concerns surrounding tariffs and other business obstacles. 

They emphasize the importance of proactive business strategies over reactive panic. 

Key points include the significance of proper preparation for "perceived" slow times, the critical role of understanding costs, and methods to diversify suppliers and enhance customer experience. 

Both hosts also share personal insights on maintaining motivation through difficult times and stress the value of focusing on controllable aspects of business rather than succumbing to negative external influences.
