AHC SALON SUCCESS TOUR

Running a salon is tough - cashflow, pricing, HR, staff, retail, clients… the list never ends. But you don’t have to do it alone.

The AHC Salon Success Tour is bringing salon experts straight to you with practical strategies, fresh ideas, and real stories from owners who’ve been where you are.

Expect insider tips on pricing, profit, retail, apprentices, HR and more, plus honest advice from business experts and salon owners who know what works.

It’s relaxed, interactive, and full of big ideas to help you thrive, not just survive. Drinks, nibbles, networking, and plenty of takeaways you can action the very next day.

Apprentices & Teams: Boost productivity, mentorship, and leadership skills

Real Salon Stories: Pricing & Profit

A panel of salon owners will share how they successfully restructured their pricing models — one of the hardest but most important steps in building a sustainable, profitable business. You’ll hear exactly how they did it and what you can learn for your own salon.

Two Powerhouse Mentors Join Forces for Business Retreats

Something big is brewing in the Sunshine Coast Hinterland, and it’s not your typical business conference. Angeli of Angeli Shaw Mentoring and Cait of Iconic Coaching are combining their firepower to launch IGNITE, a luxury three-day business retreat designed to tear up the rulebook and rebuild everything from the inside out.

Kerrie runs the innovative Di Mattia and Co in Grafton (Northern NSW) and Jenni operates Bond Hair Religion in Canberra with an extremely mixed professional, business and rural market. They are ‘hitting the road’ with 2026 Culture + Bond Business Seminars from March to August in Geelong, Albury, Gold Coast and Newcastle. Ready to spread their management and leadership expertise, Kerrie and Jenni share their thoughts here on how their experience can help salon leaders develop.
