The Salon Dr., AKA prolific educator and retail expert Sonia Tomas, is taking to Hair Festival 2025, kicking off the event at 9am on Sunday, June 29, in an Education Session titled ‘The Profit Booster’. Don’t miss this chance to better your business and your financial margins.
“Right now, you’re likely leaving money on the table—not just in retail, but in missed service opportunities and inefficiencies that drain profit,” Sonia explained. “The problem isn’t that you’re not working hard enough. It’s that no one has shown you how to work smarter—until now.

“In this powerful session, I’ll show you a simple, foolproof method to take the guesswork out of your numbers and maximise every area of your business—from services, retail and team performance. There’ll be no boring numbers talk that makes your head spin and no complicated systems, just a step-by-step way to see exactly where your money is, where it’s going, and how to make more of it—without stress.”
Sonia aims to make understanding your numbers simple and find your confidence to start taking control of your profits, with more clarity and without confusion.
“This isn’t just about understanding numbers, it’s about building a salon that thrives, giving you more profit, more freedom, and less overwhelm,” Sonia shared. “You don’t have to fear your numbers—you just need the right method.”
This exclusive one-hour session will utilise the benefit of Sonia’s extreme expertise, with 37 years in the industry and education initiatives that promise to triple retail profits in little time.
