We wrote this journal because we know that the Beauty Biz can be CRAZY busy and that the day can easily get away from you.  This is why it is so important to plan for your goals and give thanks for your blessings! We love starting our Day with Gratitude... This helps to change your perspective and outlook on so many things.  By focusing on what you grateful for you will find yourself; happier, healthier, more optimistic and like-able ;-)  Journaling forces us to write down our goals, which makes us more likely to achieve them.  Helps to give clarity.  Helps you focus and stay accountable.  It is a safe place to release your fears and struggles.   We hope Flourish Beauty Biz Journal will give you a place to do all of the above, PLUS focus on key growth indicators in the salon world, while incorporating health and creating a beautiful life.  People that are happy and healthy naturally perform at a higher level and FLOURISH!

However ther,e are a few more career goals on my current bucket list. Growing Flourish, increasing my success behind the chair, and taking classes from stylists I admire are just a few of those. So... what is on your career bucket list? Below are a few ideas to get you started: - Work on a TV/movie set - Have your work published in a magazine or online - Travel to do...

Today lets talk about making the most of the time you have with each guest. It all starts with a killer consultation.   During this time it is your job to uncover the needs of the guest.   This opens the doors for you to do your job and consult, educate and recommend products and other services to ensure your guests NEEDS  are met.
