Salon business education

You’ve built the salon.
Now let’s build the business.

Business education and strategy for salon owners ready to build a team that stays, systems that run without them, and a business that finally feels as good as it looks.

Meet Shannon

Built inside a real salon.

I’m Shannon Giang, CEO of Fika Beauty. My business partner Annie and I built it into two profitable salons in Ottawa with a team of 22, including 17 hairstylists.

Everything I teach, I built, broke and rebuilt inside my own salons first. Hiring, apprenticeship, pay structure, culture and the hard conversations. Daney hands you the systems I wish someone had handed me.

How we work together

The Daney Method

Most salons don’t have one big problem. They have a few smaller ones quietly compounding: hiring, pay, leadership, systems. The Daney Method finds them, fixes them, and helps you grow with confidence.

Diagnose: The Salon Intensive

A deep strategic audit of your team, numbers and leadership, plus a custom roadmap for what to fix first. From $2,500

Build: The Apprenticeship Blueprint

A profitable apprenticeship system built for your studio, using the framework proven inside Fika. From $4,500

Grow: Daney Advisory

Ongoing coaching and accountability while you scale. By application.

The Daney Hiring System

Stop hiring for skill.

Most bad hires aren’t a mystery. They’re a missing system. The Daney Hiring System is the exact framework I use at Fika to hire for character, coachability and culture fit, so your gut feeling is backed by real data.

  • Weighted interview scorecards for new talent and experienced stylists

  • A story based interview framework that shows you who someone really is

  • A 90 day talent tracker for probation

  • Offer, decline and reference scripts for every hiring conversation

Instant download, yours to keep. $297

If I had you for one hour, I know exactly what I’d fix in your salon.

Sometimes you just need another experienced owner in the room. Bring the decision, challenge or idea you’ve been going back and forth on: hiring, team, leadership, growth, profit or what’s next.

You’ll leave with clarity, honest advice and your next move.
