336. Discover the Realities of Running a Lash Salon with Insights from Mackenzie Graham

If you have been following us for a while, you know we love lash salon owners. They are the unsung heroes of our industry. That said, you also know we don't think most people are cut out to be a salon owner. In our humble opinion, it's the most challenging job in the industry with the most risk and generally the worst pay. In today's episode, Mackenzie Graham of Mack Lash Mob and podcast host of Talkin Smack joins us with insights on what it is like to run a lash salon. She shares how she grew her business and wasn't prepared to become a salon owner. She also goes into how much money she makes from her salon...you might be surprised by her answer. At the end we talk about her social media journey and how it she got burned out by it. We think the world of Mackenzie and love the honest answers she gives. We think this episode will be a great encouragement for all your salon owners out there.
