Before Terra Harvell of Harper Ellis Hair Co. and Strata Salon Systems takes the Data-Driven Salon Summit stage in Austin, May 17th, she chatted with SALON TODAY's Stacey Soble about her plans for her mainstage session and her breakout. 

In "From Chair to Enterprise: Building a Salon that Creates Real Wealth, and an Exit," Harvell will dismantle the outdated way that the beauty industry thinks about success. Using real financial data and real-life examples, she'll explore how salons move from being income-dependent businesses to enterprise-level assets and why that shift is essential for anyone who wants legacy wealth, not just good cash flow.

In her follow-up breakout session, "Build It or Exit: How Salon Owners Create Enterprise Equity or Stay Stuck," Harvell will break down the difference between income and enterprise equity, and why failing to understand this distinction keeps most salon owners trapped in financial circles they can never escape.
