Saying Goodbye is never easy, but it does not have to be sneaky…





45% of Employees  will leave a salon within the first 2 years- Shoot Dang!
&
65% left while they were still happy- Say What???

I don't know about you but statistics like these make me want to pull my hair out!  LOL 

On a more serious note, One of the hardest things about owning a Salon is when a team member decides it is time to move on.  For me it is not just the the fact that they are leaving it is that our industry seams to struggle with professionalism on this matter.  I am always sad to see stylist go, but am very supportive of peeps following their dreams.  Lets just have integrity and keep all our bridges in tact.  

So if it is time to move on and start a new dream - make the transition as smooth as possible…

Be Honest 

Embrace transparency.

When it comes to leaving, a little honesty goes a long way. Talk to your boss, let them know what your plans.  Work together to come up with an exit strategy. 

Play Nice

You're more likely to get a blessing if you play by the rules. 

• Don't compete with an employer while still on the payroll.  This includes telling guests.  A professional salon will let the guest know where you have gone. 
 (because our biz is all about serving the guest, Right?!) 


• Don't walk away with anything. This includes other team members.  Recruiting from your former salon is a never appropriate.  Leave behind company e-mail lists, trade secrets and anything else that isn't yours. 

At the end of the day we know RIGHT from WRONG.  Put your self in each others shoes and communicate!  There is more than enough business out there for everyone to FLOURISH!

Does your salon offer airbrush makeup? We just introduced it to our list of services and have been loving it!

Stay healthy during cold season!

Cold and flu season is here! Working closely with so many people, it can be a challenge to avoid getting sick this time of year. Below are a few tips to help you stay healthy this winter. Keeping healthy is so important because, if we are not behind the chair, we are not making money! Wash your hands...often! Doing shampoos makes this one pretty easy, but remember to wash your hands throughout the day as well. Clean your station at the beginning and end of your shift. Wipe down the chair and tools you used that day. Don't touch your face. This helps with skincare too of course! Eat healthy. Feed your body the vitamins it needs for a healthy immune system. Get plenty of sleep. Sleep deprivation can weaken the immune system. Relax. Do more of what helps you stress-less.
