Stacy Monroe was Pregnant at 16; graduating Continuation High School at 17 w/ a cosmetology license; moved out 4 weeks later. Now, she's celebrating 28 years owning Stacy Monroe's Salon in the San Franscico Bay Area + best-selling author! She has 3 daughters and 6 grandchildren; her family + salon are her life! Rewind to 1982.... her first boss taught her solid foundation how to become a successful stylist + she's on a mission to pay it forward + teach others to not work so much! She operates a hybrid salon: get them out of beauty school, put on commission then rent! And guess what? One of those stylists from that salon in 1982 works there!



What inspired her to start her own salon: www.stacymonroes.com where she is still BTC? To listen to her own music! She's grown from a 1700 sq ft 5-chair to 9-chair to 18-chair to 5000 sq ft 20-chair + 6 treatment rooms + 3 manicuist/pedicurist, at peak! She says it's not much more to have a bigger space but the money you make in your space is 4x the amount!

PRO TIP #1: You HAVE to be in the right location or you’ll struggle; be in an area people can see you

PRO TIP #2: be picky about who you hire; don’t keep wrong people for too long that’s the worse thing you can do

PRO TIP #3: Vigaro | scheduling + marketing (text reminds clients)

PRO TIP #4: Write down 3 things from each client so you can remember something about them + send thank you note in mail with 10% off

PRO TIP #5: Ask before blow out: ''How do you want your hair to look when I’m done?.... Great! I’m going to use these products based on what you want, this way when you go home you can use them when you go home and do the same!''
