If someone told you you didn’t have to work on Saturdays and you could still be a highly successful hair stylist, would you believe it?

Here, MODERN SALON’s Digital Content Strategist Nicole Davis sat down with the Barnetts to discuss the realities of this proposition — including the financials — and how it might look for your salon.
