2024 was a very transformative year for the MOD! For the last 11 years, I have worked primarily as the only stylist in the business, with the exception of two booth renters and an assistant. When I decided to become a commission salon last year and hire employees, it was not a decision that I took lightly. I sought help from hairstyling coaches, salon owner's networking groups and financial and tax professionals, read books about CEO mindsets, joined local small business owners networking groups, went to seminars regarding social media and hair photography, and went to live hair education. Through all of this, I have started to hire a team of professionals based on personality, merit, desire to learn and grow, and people who want to be a part of a team. MOD is a very small and cozy space and I want you to know where my decision making was coming from as I decided to being people into our little salon home. The next time you're in, you might notice that the salon feels a little more lively, and see some new faces and talent!
