Today, you’re going to learn how husband and wife duo, Lara Johnson and Dom Capel of Lara Johnson Lifestyle, have built a successful salon business around their team and family. Social proof of this success is celebrating 27 years of being in business this year.

Now, you might be thinking, “This all sounds great, but I don’t own a salon business, let alone having a team. What’s this podcast got to do with me?” Well, think again! Let me explain.

By listening to this conversation today,  Lara and Dom share their experiences that could be your trigger to exploring the idea of opening up your very own salon business. And if so, Im certain their insights will help you on your way to doing just this.

Like most successful salon business owners, it starts with a dream of one day owning their own salon business. That dream became a reality for Lara and Dom, when after working at Charles Worthington in London, Lara moved back to her native Swansea to open Lara Johnson Lifestyle. Then followed later with Dom joining her in the business.

They’re going to share how they brought a piece of London fashion to Swansea, South Wales, and along the way the importance of education and their team – an industrious family of like minded professionals. They will also give you some sound advice to why brand association matters to the success, plus learn about their daughter, Tilly, becoming a part of the business.

Whether a current salon owner or future one in the making, this is an insightful episode from two of my favourite people in the hair industry. Let’s dive in!
