Tips on leadership, financial strength, and transparency with Kirstin Lebrun

ByGreg Robins 2022-02-052024-05-01

When we came across an Instagram post listing the nitty-gritty details of running a salon and spa, we had to share.

Tune in to our chat with the founder and owner of Kharma Salons in Victoria, BC, Kirstin Lebrun.

“For those of you thinking of opening a salon, here are some things I had no idea about when I started this journey” wrote Kirstin on Instagram. “I’ve had stylists I went to school with & colleagues reach out over the years wanting to start a salon and I’m more than happy to help.”

“I’m happy to help anyone navigate this process and break things down even further. I wish I had someone to talk to when I started this journey! I learn each and every day, have made many mistakes and sacrifices, and truly thank everyone who has been there on this journey with me”
