Strategic Planning for Multi-Location Salon Success: Building Scalable Systems for Expansion and Growth
Jedidah Carter
Hairstoria Salon and Training Academy
About Jedidah Carter
As a seasoned Chicago-based salon owner, Jedidah has spent a decade establishing her business, developing an impressive natural hair product line, and setting a new standard for customer satisfaction in the loc industry. With a large, consistent, and constantly growing client base, she envisioned expanding her knowledge and service through additional locations and a state-accredited cosmetology school to help nurture the next generation of talent.
-
Despite her success, she faced significant operational roadblocks. Her goal was to expand her salon with a second location in the Chicagoland area and eventually establish satellite locations in Georgia and Texas. However, managing multiple locations felt unachievable without a solid organizational structure and operational systems. She had also struggled with getting projects off the ground, with several incomplete initiatives that needed direction.
-
The priority was to clarify her overall vision. Working closely with her, we created an expanded blueprint for the business, encompassing her goals for salons, academy training, product lines, affiliation programs, an online community, and mentorship offerings. Once her comprehensive vision was clear, we prioritized these goals based on profitability, audience demand, and her personal preferences, focusing on the online community, training, and product expansions.
Leveraging the Pivot With a Plan™ framework, we took her through three transformative phases:
Reposition: We reshaped her vision into a strategic, multi-dimensional business model.
Redefine: Focusing on internal operations; we optimized her team structure, infrastructure, software, and internal processes.
Relaunch: We set measurable milestones, broke down projects, analyzed operational costs, and created actionable steps for implementation.

To turn her vision into a reality, we introduced foundational systems that would support her expansion goals. Our customized solutions include:
Operational Structure: An organizational chart to clearly define team roles.
Training Development: Online company training modules to streamline onboarding and development.
Website and Policy Development: A company website revamp alongside comprehensive policy documentation.
Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs): Clear processes for team members to follow.
Performance Reviews: Assessments of existing team members’ roles and contributions.
Booking System Implementation: A unified, company-wide booking system.
Cosmetology Academy Plans: Outlining the cosmetology academy and developing a curriculum tailored to state accreditation standards.
With these systems firmly in place, the primary salon could operate efficiently, providing a scalable model for future locations.
-
Pre-Planning: We identified critical obstacles and areas to address during strategic planning.
Planning: In the planning phase, I facilitated sessions with her team, captured her vision, and mapped out a detailed project management timeline.
Post-Planning: I provided fractional operational support, overseeing project steps and supporting the team as they integrated these new systems into the primary salon’s operations.
-
With these strategic improvements, she achieved impressive results:
Increased Clientele: The salon saw a 37% increase in clientele within six months.
Educational Demand: The salon's flagship mentoring program, Microloc Sculpting Academy, became a highly demanded online course and soon-to-be online community, validating the need for additional salons in Atlanta and Texas.
Cosmetology School Progress: She successfully began the state accreditation process, paving the way to launch her cosmetology school.
-
The initial strategic planning and system implementation spanned six months, with continued operational support to refine and maintain momentum.

Empowering Fertility Care Growth: How Takera Transformed Her Concierge Nursing Service for Statewide Expansion
Takera Mitchell
Preferred Fertility Concierge
About Takera Carter
Takera, an experienced fertility nurse, founded a thriving fertility concierge service, leading a team of 25 nurses across the Atlanta metro area who provide compassionate support for IVF, egg freezing, and surrogacy clients. With demand skyrocketing, she set her sights on scaling her reach to over 100 nurses statewide and expanding her impact into Alabama and Florida—determined to make fertility support accessible to more families.
-
Takera’s operation had grown quickly, but without an automated onboarding system, formal training, or standardized processes, she was stretched thin and needed to shift from service delivery to executive leadership. The challenges of managing one-on-one onboarding, fulfilling client needs, and leading her team were taking a toll, limiting her ability to drive the growth she envisioned.
-
To bring her vision to life, I crafted a dynamic growth strategy to reimagine her business’s foundation. Together, we created an expansive organizational chart with well-defined roles from HR management to regional leadership, built a streamlined onboarding program with remote and in-field training, and implemented quarterly training to unify and strengthen her expanding team. We also crafted a CEO communication plan, allowing Takera to inspire her fully remote team and build a strong company culture, even across state lines.
Leveraging the Pivot With a Plan™ framework, we took her through three transformative phases:
Reposition: We reshaped her vision into a strategic, multi-dimensional business model.
Redefine: Focusing on internal operations; we optimized her team structure, infrastructure, software, and internal processes.
Relaunch: We set measurable milestones, broke down projects, analyzed operational costs, and created actionable steps for implementation.

The plan positioned her to hire an HR manager as the first step in creating a scalable and seamless onboarding process. With a 90-day project plan, we outlined each essential project, designated roles, and set timelines for her expanded leadership team. A learning management system (LMS) was implemented to support remote training, allowing new hires to integrate smoothly, and a schedule was established for ongoing hiring as her client base grew.
-
Takera’s business is now primed to triple her team of fertility concierges, and with her new systems in place, she’s positioned to see a 23.46% net profit increase. With her streamlined framework and enhanced company culture, Takera is poised to scale statewide and enter new markets, reaching more families with the fertility support they need.
-
This transformation unfolded over four months, including an initial pre-planning session, comprehensive strategic planning, a structured 90-day implementation, and a final wrap-up session, setting her up for continued growth.

How Tynisha Streamlined Her Trauma-Based Consulting Agency with Standardized Offers and Systems
Tynisha Jointer
Invested Consultant Agency
About Tynisha Jointer
Tynisha Jointer, a school social worker turned entrepreneur, started a trauma-focused consulting agency to support organizations and educational institutions. After leaving her full-time job, she depended entirely on her business income but struggled with an inconsistent service structure and lacked a clear mission, vision, and standardized offerings.
-
Tynisha customized all services for each client, leading to inefficiency and limited outreach. Without standard pricing or defined service packages, she found it difficult to pitch to new clients confidently, missing revenue opportunities. Running the business solo, she needed a structured, sustainable business model.
-
Using the 6-week Pivot With a Plan™ Accelerator, Tynisha received a step-by-step strategy for repositioning her brand, redefining her ideal work-life, and relaunching her consulting agency. Through structured sessions, we focused on creating a sustainable plan, clear processes, and a consistent brand message.
-
6-week Pivot With a Plan™ Accelerator
-
Tynisha developed a plant to transition to standardized service offerings with a proprietary 12-step trauma-informed curriculum. Key developments included a suite of products, such as an e-guide, masterclass, consulting services for trauma-informed action plans, workshops, a Trauma-Informed School Transformation Program, and a Mastermind Community Membership. Each service was clearly defined, priced, and ready for consistent promotion.
-
By the end of the 6-week program, Tynisha had a solid plan to transform her business model, saving significant time by no longer customizing each offer. The streamlined structure will enable her to pitch confidently, reach a broader client base, and project a stronger brand presence.
-
The project consisted of eight sessions over a six-week period, including pre- and post-planning sessions.
