Your solo price won't cover a salon.
The number that paid you well as a solo groomer can quietly sink a salon. Now there's rent, payroll, and insurance riding on every dog, and if your prices still reflect your kitchen-table costs, you can be busy all month and still lose money. Nobody warns you that opening a salon resets your floor price.
Maria kept her solo prices when she opened her salon and watched a packed month leave almost nothing behind. Once she ran her real salon overhead, rent, payroll, and insurance included, her floor price landed well above what she'd been charging, and the same volume started paying her. (Illustrative example.)
Who this is for
New salon owners who need to reset their pricing for salon-level overhead instead of solo costs.

Your instructor
Sandra built a shop that ran entirely on her, burned out, then rebuilt it on systems so it runs without her. She teaches operations and team: opening a salon, running it on daily systems, hiring, and scaling past a single chair.
