A Leadership message from Nikki, Bonnie and Brigette before The Beauty Leadership Lab this weekend at Base One in Dublin, Ohio


Hi [First Name],

As we count down to our transformational leadership experience with Bonnie Bonadeo, me... Nikki Le and Brigette Sobus, I wanted to share with you a powerful leadership lesson to elevate your mindset before we step into the room together.

Let’s talk about what Transformational Leadership really means in today’s salon business—and why every modern owner must master it.


🔑 What is Transformational Leadership?

Transformational Leadership is the ability to inspire, influence, and elevate those around you—not by force or command, but by vision, example, and emotional connection.

In simple terms:
It’s the art of turning employees into collaborators in the organization and in their own careers and goals into action.


💡 Why It Matters for Salon Owners

Traditional leadership manages tasks.
Transformational leadership grows people.

It’s no longer enough to “manage your team.” Your role is to activate potential, align purpose, and create a culture that produces:

✔️ Self-led stylists
✔️ Elevated guest experiences
✔️ Long-term client retention
✔️ Loyal, high-performing team members
✔️ Revenue that reflects your leadership DNA


The 4 Pillars of Transformational Leadership

  1. Vision-Driven Communication
    • Cast a compelling vision of where your salon is going. People don’t follow plans—they follow clarity. Speak it often and embody it always.
  2. Individualized Empowerment
    • Every team member has a unique “why.” Transformational leaders customize support to nurture individual growth, not just team performance.
  3. Modeling Innovation & Emotional Intelligence
    • Modern leaders show up with emotional depth, resilience, and transparency. You teach your team how to be—not just what to do.
  4. Development as a Core Value
    • Make ongoing education and mentorship part of your culture. A leader’s job is to build more leaders.

✨ Here’s Your Pre-Event Challenge:

Ask yourself:
“Am I managing my team’s behavior, or am I inspiring their evolution?”

At the event, we’ll be breaking down leadership communication, resilience, accountability, performance management and goal work behind transformational leadership—and how it can directly impact your bottom line, your culture, and your ability to scale.


We're honored to grow with you,


Nikki, Brigette and Bonnie

P.S. Come to this event ready to reimagine what’s possible when you stop managing—and start transforming through connection and trust
