In this episode of Stylist Soul Tribe Conversations, I sit down with Eric Taylor, founder and CEO of Salon Republic and host of The Hair Game podcast. Eric shares his incredible journey from his early days in college to becoming a key player in the salon studio concept, a revolutionary business model that has changed the beauty industry.
Eric talks about the entrepreneurial influences of his creative mom and entrepreneurial dad, explaining how their contrasting approaches to business helped shape his unique mindset. He also opens up about his early fascination with the beauty industry, sparked by conversations with salon owners and his barber, which eventually led to the creation of Salon Republic.
We dive deep into the challenges Eric faced while building his first location in Studio City, Los Angeles—everything from negotiating bad leases to managing construction—and how he ultimately built a thriving business model that allows beauty professionals to flourish in their own independent spaces. Eric also shares valuable insights into the importance of balancing creativity and practicality, both in business and in life.

- How Eric combined creativity and entrepreneurship to build Salon Republic
- The origins of the salon studio model and how it has evolved
- The practical business lessons Eric learned along the way, from leases to salon management
- Why maintaining a close connection with beauty professionals is key to long-term salon success
