Lead from who you are.

The Scissors & Scotch conference has always been about more than sessions and schedules. It’s the one time we’re all in the same room, sharing ideas, sharpening how we work, and reconnecting to what makes this brand different on purpose.

No matter your role, experience, or path into the company, the conference is where the bigger picture comes into focus. It’s where standards get clearer, relationships get stronger, and the work we do every day starts to feel connected again.

We don’t all lead the same way, and we’re not supposed to.
What we do share is a commitment to doing things with intention, taking care of people, and building something we’re proud to put our name on.

Conference is where that shows up, in the conversations, the learning, and the moments that remind us why this brand works the way it does.

You don’t have to fit a mold to belong here.
You already do.
And that’s what it means to Embrace Your Weird.

Who is this conference for?

This conference is for the people who carry leadership at Scissors & Scotch in big, visible ways and in quiet, behind-the-scenes ones.

That includes:

  • Franchisees

  • Managers (Regional, General, and Assistant)

  • Shop Leads (where applicable)

  • Grooming Certified Trainers

It’s built for leaders at different stages — whether you’ve been with Scissors & Scotch for years or you’re just starting to step into more responsibility. You’ll find sessions, speakers, and conversations designed to meet you where you are and stretch you forward.

And if you have a rising leader you believe in — someone ready to grow, learn, and take on more — they’re welcome here too. This conference is intentionally designed to connect across roles, experience levels, and paths within the brand.

If you’re invested in leading people, shaping culture, and growing with Scissors & Scotch, this room is for you.

2025 — Push Your Limits

Growth happens outside your comfort zone.

Hosted in Denver, Push Your Limits marked a powerful moment for Scissors & Scotch as we celebrated ten years of the brand. Together, we challenged ourselves to stretch—personally, professionally, and as leaders—leaning into courage, ownership, and the kind of growth that comes from doing hard things together.
