The Truth About Leaving a Commission Salon

In this episode, we sit down with Samantha Mattucci Curran, an industry vet with 10 years of commission salon experience—who made the bold decision to step into the world of independence. When we opened our salon suites right next door, she took the leap… and hasn’t looked back. We dive into what pushed her to make the switch, the wins (and curveballs) along the way, and how she's building her dream business one client at a time. Whether you're debating going solo or just curious about what it really takes, this conversation covers it all.
