REUNION: A Business-First Summit for Barbershop & Salon Owners
Hosted by LTC x GBX — October 19–21, 10AM–3PM
Why REUNION?
Most barbershops and salons fail not because of talent — but because of business.
50% of small businesses close within 5 years.
20% close in the first year.
Even salons & barbershops — with steady demand — face 25–30% closures in just 2 years, often from weak systems, location issues, or competition.
COVID-19 pushed closures above 30% in some regions.
REUNION changes that. This isn’t another “hands-on” event. It’s built for business mastery — giving owners, managers, and leaders the strategies to grow and thrive.
