If you go on BizBuySell, you'll often see salons for sale.
And if you've ever wondered about them, you're going to enjoy the latest interview on Acquiring Minds.
Salons have a reputation for being tricky businesses -- in the same way restaurants do.
So I was very excited to talk to, Sarah Romer.
Sarah acquired a salon in Austin she found on BizBuySell.
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 episode is an honest telling of 3 years of blood, sweat, and tears to buy, professionalize, grow, and ultimately exit a big salon business in Austin, Texas.
Even if you never go in salons, let alone would consider buying one, this is a fascinating interview.
Here's the episode ~ enjoy!
