Six Chairs and a Five-Year Clause: The Trials & Tribulations of Running Hair Salon

Previously published as Six Chairs & a Five Year Clause by Rebecca Ashford.Most salons are busy. Not all of them are profitable.Behind the full appointment books and constant client demand, there's a quieter reality: pricing that doesn't quite work, rising costs, pressure on staff, and decisions that slowly shape whether a salon succeeds or struggles.This book brings that reality into the open.Six Chairs and a Five-Year Clause follows Emily Carter as she takes over a small salon and begins to understand what it really means to run it, not just work in it. What starts as a simple opportunity quickly becomes a series of decisions about pricing, positioning, responsibility and long-term thinking.This is not a step-by-step guide. But every situation in the story reflects real business challenges faced in salons every day.This is where Emily Carter's story begins.Book One of The Salon Business Series, continuing in Seven Chairs and the Weight of Expansion.
