Why I Called It Backbar Culture Coaching
If you’ve ever worked in a spa, salon or beauty school, you already know the backbar is where the real magic happens.
It’s not front-and-center like the retail shelf. It’s not the shiny Instagram story or the public-facing polish.
The backbar is behind the scenes.
It’s the foundation.
It’s where the good stuff lives. The professional-grade tools. The products only insiders get to use. The trusted systems that make everything else work.
And when your backbar is stocked, organized, and intentional? Everything runs smoother. Clients are taken care of. Students feel supported. The whole space functions with ease.
When it’s neglected or chaotic?
Even the most talented team struggles to deliver.
So Why Backbar Culture?
Because your culture works the same way.
It’s what’s happening behind the scenes! The habits, conversations, energy, expectations, and systems that either support your team… or silently sabotage it.
It’s the vibe that students feel the second they walk in.
It’s the tone your team sets even when no one’s watching.
It’s the difference between a staff that’s surviving vs. one that’s thriving.
I called it Backbar Culture Coaching because I’m not here to slap a motivational quote on the wall and walk away.
I’m here to get into the real stuff:
The meetings that could use a little more clarity and momentum
The occasional vibe dips that you can’t quite put your finger on
The habits and routines that may have outlived their usefulness
The culture you know is possible, but haven’t quite seen come to life (yet)
Just like your backbar, culture needs to be stocked with intention.
Refilled regularly.
And protected with care.
Whether it’s onboarding new staff, reviving instructor energy, improving student retention, or getting your leadership team back on the same page. I’m here to help you build a school or spa where everyone feels supported, aligned, and on fire for what they do.
