The Great Debate - Mobile vs Salon?

A real breakdown of both paths inside the first Mobile Grooming Summit session.

Happy Friday Daily Groomers!

‍

Thanks to everyone who downloaded our State of the Grooming Industry Report - we had 100+ downloads. If you’re into data-driven insights straight from other groomers in the community, reply and let me know… we may do more.

‍

Alright, let’s dive in…

‍

The big question I hear all the time:

Mobile or salon?

‍

Which one is actually better… when does it make sense to switch… and can you realistically do both?

‍

We’re going deep on that in the first session of the Mobile Grooming Summit (free, 3-part series) on May 4.

‍

‍

This one’s specifically for anyone who’s had that question cross their mind.

‍

We’re bringing on a good friend and great operator, Elizabeth Gibbs - she runs both a luxury mobile setup and a brick & mortar salon at Barkwood Grooming.

‍

She’s going to walk through:

  • what mobile actually looks like day-to-day
  • when it makes sense (and when it doesn’t)
  • what to think about before buying your first van
  • the mistakes most people make early

‍

No fluff — just how it actually works from someone in it.

‍

If you’re trying to figure out your next move, this will probably save you a lot of time (and a few expensive mistakes).
