Jen is going to share how she manages marketing and operations for two salon locations that offer stylists a choice between a team environment, or an independent environment—on the same street! What challenges they had to overcome and what triumphs they’ve had since they’ve started. You’ll be inspired by Jen’s insatiable appetite for consistent growth and education and how that trickles down into their award-winning companies.
