This course gives you a structured view of the salon and spa Business model, from the foundations of positioning and branding to the daily systems that keep operations consistent. You will explore how to create a profitable service menu, price services strategically, design the full client journey, and manage front desk workflows that support smooth appointments from booking to checkout.
