Why Sunny Bunny Ditched the Front Desk (and Drama)

Most salons run on the same old playbook: retail shelves, front desks, receptionists, assistants, tier systems (junior → master, level 1 → level 100), tipping, and à la carte pricing.You know what all that creates? A whole lotta drama and inconsistency.

When you give the power back to the stylist—yes, it comes with more responsibility—but it also comes with so much freedom.At Sunny Bunny, every stylist takes full ownership of their craft and their clients. They communicate directly through their work number and email, book and check out their own guests, and manage their own schedules. There’s no “running it by the owner,” because we believe in hiring responsible adults who thrive on autonomy.

Traditional salon hierarchies—front desks, assistants, and level systems—tend to breed competition and resentment (a.k.a. drama-rama). At Sunny Bunny, we’re all equals. We station-share, we clean, we fold towels, and we look out for one another. It’s a space rooted in collaboration, not comparison.

And for our clients? Transparency is everything. Our hourly, gratuity-free pricing means you know exactly what you’re paying—no surprise add-ons, no awkward tip moments. For stylists, that translates into a consistent paycheck. For clients, it means peace of mind.

So, why isn’t this the industry norm? Because change is uncomfortable. It asks us to rethink what’s always been done. But here’s the truth: if you don’t evolve with the times, you’ll get left behind.

Sunny Bunny isn’t here to play by the old rules—we’re here to create better ones. ✨
