Heather Harris, CEO of Spark Pro Global, joins Enterprise Podcast Network’s Eric Dye in a high-impact interview titled “What Should I Outsource to Free Up Time as a Salon Owner?” The episode is now live across major platforms.

Running a salon takes more than talent behind the chair. Salon owners are often responsible for every aspect of the business; client care, team management, marketing, bookkeeping, scheduling, and compliance. That level of multitasking may feel necessary, but it’s not sustainable. It’s also not profitable.

In this interview, Heather—an experienced salon owner and national beauty educator—breaks down the real cost of doing it all and explains why smart outsourcing is the next step for salon growth.

What You Will Learn in the Interview

In this 1-on-1 conversation with host Eric Dye, Heather breaks down how salon owners can shift their focus from admin tasks to business growth by outsourcing smartly. 

Key takeaways include:

  • The most common administrative tasks that are better handled by a virtual assistant:
    • Appointment scheduling and reminders
    • Social media planning and content posting
    • Bookkeeping and financial reporting
    • Client communications and loyalty programs
    • Compliance and license tracking
  • How outsourcing these areas can help salon owners recover 25 to 40 hours per week.
  • The impact of virtual support on revenue, customer retention, and overall business efficiency.
  • How Spark Pro Global supports beauty entrepreneurs across the U.S. and Canada with industry-specific tools and talent.
  • Why investing in a virtual executive assistant is a strategic move, not just an operational shortcut.

A New Way of Thinking

For many salon owners, the challenge isn’t just about handling the workload, it’s about mindset. As Heather puts it, “So many of us as stylists don’t lead our teams or run our businesses like CEOs, we run them like owner-operators.” The key to breaking out of this cycle? Outsourcing the tasks that weigh you down.

In the interview, Heather also talks about how, by building trust with her assistant, she could finally “stay in my zone of genius.” This means focusing on what Heather does best, leading her team, and growing her business, while the administrative tasks are handled by trusted professionals.

The Spark Pro Global Effect

What started as a personal solution to Heather’s own challenges quickly expanded into a powerful service for salon owners everywhere. “After my assistant became too busy, we started training her friends, and pretty soon I had a team of over 40 full-time contractors working for me—for salon owners across the United States and Canada.”

Now, Spark Pro Global helps salon owners streamline their operations, reduce stress, and increase their bottom line, all while reclaiming their time.
