Salon Owners’ Journey to Epic Success!
![]()
“I am incredibly grateful for the transformative impact that Marie and Jay have had on my business. I love how they have an efficient process in place. There is a document for virtually everything the business needs. The tools and techniques I have learned, especially around the numbers of our business have significantly made us improve. By fine tuning all the various areas that needed attention, it has allowed me as a business owner to focus on what truly matters for my personal and business growth.
Working with Jay and Marie, along with our support coach Kerry, I now run my business better and smarter, yet with a sense of calm and clarity.  They are all a constant source of support and encouragement. And by keeping us accountable, success is inevitable when you follow the steps of what needs to be done to get the results.
Your Growth Coaches have well been worth the investment! I am now equipped with the skills to continually grow myself and my business to reach new heights. I would wholeheartedly recommend them as they’ve made a profound difference in my business. “

“I have been working with Jay and Marie for about 6 years now and can honestly say I wouldn’t be where I am today without their help and guidance all the way. They have helped me to grow my business, get through challenges and supported me to be able to step back, so I could be at home with my 3 little ones. If you’re struggling in business or want to grow to the next level, you definitely need to work with these two incredible humans.”

“My experience with Jay, Marie and their coaching team has been fantastic. They are so generous with their knowledge and time and I love all of the resources they provide. I find it so helpful having a professional coach to call on to bounce ideas off of and guide me through the various challenges and changes that come with owning a business. Since I started coaching with Jay and Marie, I have been able to achieve a full year of paid maternity leave with very little stress. I have a great team of therapists who have kept my beauty salon running whilst I’ve been able to step back and enjoy this time with my child. The team at Your Growth Coaches are incredibly passionate, knowledgeable and approachable. They will give you all the tools you need to take your business to the next level, whilst achieving freedom of time and less business stress!”

“What a breath of fresh air it has been working with Jay, Marie and their support team. As a hairdresser with 30 years industry experience, I have been blown away by their knowledge and ongoing help. A great partnership who are both genuinely kind, caring and down to earth. Jay and Marie give firm but fair guidance with the perfect amount of humour. They make learning fun and rewarding and help you become the best version of you, as well as for your salon team. I have no doubts that I will be under their guidance for many years to come. I can’t imagine doing this crazy business thing without them and my inspirational support coach Jen.
THANKS GUYS!”

“Jay & Marie helped me change from being the sort of business owner who still worked IN the business as a therapist, to teaching me how to run my business from the sidelines – it was a huge shift for me! They encouraged me to put myself first, which I then got a manager in to run the salon, so that I could take the time to work ON the business and focus on marketing. I’ve learnt a lot from them – how to set goals for the team, the importance of 1-1 meetings, keeping the team accountable, as well as keeping myself accountable, how to set up bank accounts and financial buckets and create a plan for my business at the business planning workshops, with goals & targets mapped in advance month by month. Having all of this in place just makes me feel clear. I love you guys, you’ve been a massive help for me & my business over the two and a bit years.”

“Before I signed up for your coaching program, I was a Sole Trader at Farrago Skin and Body. It was just me navigating the ins and outs of running a skin clinic and treating clients, which, let’s be honest, can be overwhelming at times. I knew I needed some expert guidance to take things to the next level.”

“These guys are amazing!!! I’ve had coaching from both Jay & Marie and they’ve both been fantastic.
I’ve grown my team from 1 to 6 (2 of those were put on during Covid) and now only work on the floor when I want to rather than all day everyday!”

“I have been working with Jay and Marie for the past few years and I can not thank them enough for their support. They have helped me through really tough times and taught me so much along the way. I have grown so much as a salon owner and a person. They are the experts at what they do and would highly recommend them to other salon owners wanting to achieve their time, team and money goals.“

“Marie is one of the best coaches I’ve had the pleasure of working with. She listens, like really listens and provides workable solutions. So glad I didn’t give up on coaching after past experiences with other coaches left me underwhelmed and with little or no change to my business. Marie has helped me see through the fog and I would recommend her to any salon owner wanting to grow their business.“

“The main problem I wanted to solve was team and finance management, especially cash flow. Balancing the books and ensuring my team was firing on all cylinders were big challenges. I needed strategies that not only worked but were sustainable in the long run. Since joining your program, the growth has been incredible. I’ve gone from being a Sole Trader to managing a team of six talented individuals. Our turnover has jumped significantly by $100,000 annually. It’s not just about numbers though; personally, it feels like I’ve leveled up in life.”

“I would like to thank you all at Your Growth Coaches. As a business owner, you often feel alone and overwhelmed – you guys have helped me sort out my finances and keep me accountable when it comes to completing my tasks! You work with me at my level and no question is a silly question. I feel I can relate to all of you and I trust you and your guidance.
A simple task that you got me to introduce was our daily tracker, that allowed us to see what was needed to bring in for the week – it made us all work so much harder (although it wasn’t too hard!) and we realised when we broke it all down, that reaching our team weekly target was pretty easy – the first week we introduced it, we exceeded by a few $1000!“

“I have been working with Your Growth Coaches, Marie & Jay for 6 Years. What can I say… the help, support, encouragement and guidance has been outstanding and we would not be where we are today without them. We have gone from $2000 a week and a team of two to a team of 15, third relocation, to almost $20,000 a week within a regional town. Â
They have helped and supported me through some difficult circumstances and to become a stronger leader, to help me grow so much, so I can help and grow the team with their skills & knowledge.“

“If I were to recommend this program to my salon friends or listeners, I would say it’s been a game-changer. The accountability it provides is unmatched, and I’ve significantly enhanced my business management skills. Not to mention, my problem-solving abilities have improved, and I’ve become more adept at managing personal relationships and even handling difficult staff situations with finesse.”
