Overview

Beyond the Salon Chair is a comprehensive business guide designed to transform skilled beauty professionals into structured, profitable, and forward-thinking salon owners. Written specifically for the African market, with strong relevance to Ghana, the book addresses a critical gap in the beauty industry: the lack of business systems, financial discipline, and leadership training among salon operators. While many salon owners possess exceptional technical skills, they often struggle with low profits, staff management challenges, weak financial control, and owner dependency. This book confronts those realities directly and provides practical, step-by-step solutions to help salon owners move from daily hustle to sustainable business ownership. The book goes beyond styling techniques to cover the full lifecycle of a salon business. It provides structured guidance on salon operations, daily management systems, pricing and financial control, marketing and client retention, leadership and staff management, legal and regulatory compliance (with Ghana-focused context), and strategic growth through scaling, franchising, and multi-branch management. It further explores future industry trends such as digital booking, natural and organic products, male grooming, and personal branding, preparing salon owners to adapt to an evolving market. A unique strength of Beyond the Salon Chair is its strong emphasis on systems and legacy. The book includes frameworks for exit strategy, succession planning, and legacy building-topics rarely addressed in beauty entrepreneurship literature. It challenges salon owners to think beyond daily income and intentionally build businesses that can operate independently, be transferred, scaled, or sold. Written in clear, practical language and supported by recommended templates, checklists, and standard operating procedures, the book functions not only as a reading resource but also as a working manual. It is suitable for salon owners, aspiring beauty entrepreneurs, beauty schools, vocational training institutions, and entrepreneurship programs. Beyond the Salon Chair positions Joseph K. Goku as an authority in salon business management and leadership, offering a timely, relevant, and impactful contribution to the African beauty industry. The book is designed to serve as both a commercial publication and a long-term reference guide for building profitable, ethical, and sustainable beauty businesses.
