MEET ME
Pip Simmons
Salon Business Mentor
Business owner.
Mentoring in hair salons has always been a goal of mine. I am a trained stylist and have done the hard slog, working my way up from ‘sweeping floors’ to managing two salons at the age of 21. From there I moved into Salon Coordinating, and have had the privilege of coordinating some of the biggest salons in Christchurch.
I have always felt I have a great understanding of the business aspect of a salon, as well as the mindset of the stylist, and the dynamics within a salon team. I feel that having a mentor is now an integral part of a successful business journey to take your business to the next level, and offers a fresh set of eyes and an external perspective.
I'm based in Rolleston with my husband and two kids, Chloe (14) and Oli (12), Richie the cat, and our latest addition, Maverick the miniature Schnauzer pup. We love the fact that no two days are ever the same at our house! Our favourite spot to escape to is anywhere with water and fish, with Marlborough sounds being a firm favourite.
When I'm not working, I'm often attempting to ‘train’ for whatever event is on the horizon. I'm proud to say I've completed 4 half marathons and have competed in three Spring Challenges – the worlds largest womens adventure race! Im currently training for another half marathon.
Bring it on!

WHAT OUR CLIENT'S SAY
Tina Fuller and Amanda Berryman
Crew Stylists

Before I started with Bamboo, when I thought about my business I felt frustrated and like I really did not know what direction I wanted to go in. When it came to staff and salon structure, I was feeling a little unempowered. Now I feel I have a clear direction with goals and that I have the knowledge to build a great team and an even greater salon
The biggest areas of change in the business has been making time to listen and talk with staff plus I have better organisation towards this, knowing what is important and setting goals for both myself and my team. Pip helped us achieve this by helping us to think about and what is important and achievable and the tools and know how to go about it
I would recommend Pip as she is calm, fun and a good listener.

I have been working with Pip from Bamboo for the last 4 1/2 years now, she has helped my business grow so much over this time. Pip keeps me and my salon on track with easy to follow business tools and benchmarks to reach. Pi helps me to manage my staff better with incentives and targets for them to reach, this keeps my team motivated and excited to work! I could not have grown my business as much as I have over the last 2 years without Pip, as well as a great mentor, I find Pip to be a fantastic person and great to work with! I would not be without her now.

As a business owner I could not of believed that I could of achieved what I have. Working on the floor full time, running a salon and a family provides plenty of distraction from my business. Having a business coach makes me accountable to someone. Helping to make my brand strong , looking at our KPI’s and narrowing down that productivity gap to provide our client with a full service. Systems have been put in place for my staff to push themselves and achieve amazing results. Bamboo also has the added benefit of understanding hairdressers and the salon dynamic. She has the answer for everything.

Being a new business that had only been opened in the new premises for two years, I needed help with marketing and support with staff. Brenda gave me the skills to do this and I now find that my business is running really smoothly. It's a pleasure to work with Brenda and I look forward to our meetings as it inspires me and gives me direction. I am excited about the growth of my business and prospects for the future
