40 - How to Buy a Salon as an Industry Outsider (and Survive)
If you go on BizBuySell, you'll often see salons for sale.
And if you've ever wondered about them, you're going to love this interview.
Salons have a reputation for being tricky businesses, in the same way restaurants do.
So I was very excited to talk to today's guest, Sarah Romer.
Sarah acquired a salon she found on BizBuySell, and sure enough, it was a tricky business.
And Sarah's background was in tech, not hair, so she had the additional disadvantage of coming from outside the industry.
This is an honest telling by Sarah of three years of blood, sweat, and tears to buy, professionalize, grow, and ultimately exit a big salon business in Austin, Texas.
Enjoy my conversation with Sarah Romer.
