Step Back Without Losing Profit:
Your Salon Can Run Without You and Stay Profitable.
Financial strategy + CEO-level coaching for salon owners who want a business that pays them properly, creates freedom, and doesn’t rely on them being behind the chair.
Get clear on your numbers. Get a roadmap. See what your step-back plan could look like.
You didn’t build your salon just to stay behind the chair forever.
You built it for freedom.
But right now, stepping back feels impossible because:
- The money feels unpredictable
- You’re paying everyone except yourself
- You’re still checking your phone on days off
- You don’t fully trust your numbers
- And the business still depends on you
You’re doing everything “right,” but the numbers still don’t give you the space you want.
This is where your strategy changes everything.

The 3 Keys to Exiting Profitably
Most salon owners try to fix their money problems by working more hours or taking more clients.
But the truth is your income grows when your strategy grows.
Here’s what we focus on together:
1. Positive Cash Flow
Your salon must consistently bring in more than it spends. We build your cash-flow rhythm so real profit replaces paper profit.
2. A Business That Pays You (Even When You Step Back)
You shouldn’t need to stand behind the chair to get paid.
We redesign your financial systems so your business funds your life and you can live your best life.
3. Money in the Bank
Savings = freedom.
A profitable exit, a step-back plan, hiring a manager — all of it requires money in the bank.
This is the foundation of The Profitable Salon Method™.

Kara Firman * Guide Hair Salon
To say that I am grateful for Janet and her team would be an understatement. I was at a place where I had done a lot of work educating myself to gain a strong understanding of finances in my own business, but it is not where I wanted to spend my time as a business owner. I love the concept of Profit First, and had started and stopped using the system a couple of times- mainly because keeping up with it used up a lot of executive function, which I struggle with, as many entrepreneurs with ADHD do. The first time I met Janet- she was speaking the language I knew, the systems I understood, and I felt how passionate she was. I immediately knew this was the person I needed to bring on to take my businesses to the next level. Janet and her team have become CFOs that make sure that every cent is designated, there are plans and systems in place for debt payment and future planning. They bring guidance and support, not to mention taking the mental load from my brain so that I can utilize the skills that I enjoy in my businesses.
