A one-day hands-on workshop
for salon owners
You don’t need ten of you.
If you feel like you’re doing everything yourself, this is the day we find out why — and start fixing it.

“It’s just faster if I do it myself.”
“Do I have to do everything around here?”
“They only seem to step up when I’m there.”
“All I seem to do is put out fires.”
“The most significant impact of Andrew’s coaching has been the positive shift in our salon’s culture. He has a unique ability to uplift the work environment, fostering a sense of connection, accountability and empowerment among all staff members.”

A million-dollar salon, and by the end I was in it two days a week.
Systems and one-on-ones did that. That’s what we work on.
Spot the jobs that have quietly become yours
Why everything keeps coming back to you, and what’s keeping you stuck in the middle of it.
Design the working week you actually want
What has to change so you choose when you work — days on the floor, what time you walk out — instead of the salon choosing.
Cut twenty problems down to the two that matter
Why the problems you thought you’d fixed keep coming back — and which one or two changes will take the most off your plate.
Build a team that wants to step up
Before anyone takes on more, they have to feel it’s worth it. This is where that starts, and you’ll leave knowing exactly how to do it.
“I’ve had the privilege of working with several business coaches throughout my journey as a salon owner, but Andrew stands apart. His simplistic approach, coupled with his unparalleled templates and workbooks, sets him apart from any other coach I’ve encountered. They are, without a doubt, the best I’ve come across.”

A clear head
The working week you actually want, the two things worth fixing first, and how to go about them.
The tools to build the team you want
The one-on-one system that changes how people show up, and the video series to use with your own team.
And four weeks of backup
A private group with everyone from the day, half an hour on Zoom every Monday for a month, and a one-on-one with me to check it actually happened. No extra charge.
I’ve taught this to rooms of four hundred. This one is ten, so I can get to everybody’s salon on the day.
This workshop is for you if…
- Everything still comes back to you — the questions, the decisions, the problems nobody else notices
- You keep thinking it’s quicker if I just do it myself
- Standards drop when you’re not there. They still turn up — they’re just not working the same
- The same problems keep coming back, even though you’re certain you dealt with them
- You’ve got a team, but some days it doesn’t feel like you’ve got a team
- You don’t want to leave your salon. You just want to choose when you’re in it
Built for established salon owners with a team of three or more.
This probably isn’t for you if
- You work on your own or rent a chair
- You’re after marketing, pricing or social media
- Your salon already runs well without you, and you’re happy with the time you spend in it
Andrew Copeland
Forty years in hairdressing. Twenty of them owning multiple salons in the Sydney CBD — a million-dollar business I ended up running on two or three days a week.
I systemised the living hell out of it, and I sat down one-on-one with every person on my team. That’s what changed it. It’s what I’ve been put on stages to talk about since, and it’s what we do on the 23rd.
I spent a long time believing the place fell apart without me, and I was half right — it did, because of how I’d built it. This is the day I wish someone had run for me.
“I used to think delegating was telling people what to do. I found out the hard way.”
“Before Andrew’s coaching, I often felt overwhelmed, trying to juggle everything on my own. It was like being in the weeds, dealing with whatever situation was directly in front of me. I realised I was on a fast track to burnout, trying to do it all myself.”

What does “hands-on” actually mean?
You won’t be sitting watching slides. You’ll be working on your own salon all day, with me over your shoulder.
Sick of telling people the same thing twice? We work on what stops that. Sick of standards dropping the minute you walk out? We work on what changes that. Twenty problems and no idea which one to start with? You’ll leave knowing the two that matter.
You go home with a workbook you’ve filled in, not one you’ve been handed.
Do I have to want to stop doing hair?
No. Most owners I work with love the job — it’s everything around it that’s the problem. This is about getting to where you choose when you’re on the floor, instead of having to be there for anything to work.
I’ve tried delegating before and it didn’t stick.
Most people have. We don’t start from “delegate more” — that’s the advice you’ve already had, and it’s why it didn’t work. We start with why it keeps coming back to you in the first place.
What if my team actually is the problem?
Sometimes they are. The day isn’t about blaming you or blaming them. It’s about working out what’s really causing each thing — because right now you’re probably treating every problem as though it’s the same kind of problem.
Why only ten people?
Not scarcity marketing. Half the day is you working on your own salon with me over your shoulder, and that stops being possible at about twelve.
Can I send my manager instead?
No. The work only makes sense if it’s the person whose name is on the lease. Bring what you build back to her on Tuesday.
What if something comes up and I can’t make it?
Let me know before 16 November and I’ll refund you in full. After that I’ll move you to the next one.
I’m flat out. Is a whole Monday realistic?
That’s the reason to come, not the reason not to. If you can’t leave the salon for one Monday, that’s the thing we’re fixing.
Ten seats, one Monday.
