Professionalism behind the chair

This is a topic that has been on my mind lately when thinking about guest care. One thing guests search for in a salon environment is professionalism. A professional atmosphere can help someone feel comfortable and at ease. Maintaining a professional salon does not mean it won't be a fun! It will be because you work there! Here are a few tips on setting the right vibe at your salon.

Conversation. One simple thing I learned at the beginning of my career is always keep the conversation guest focused. Don't get me wrong I'm sure they enjoy hearing about what's going on in your life too, but that time is really about them and their hair.

Clothing and appearance. We are lucky to work in an industry where you can express your personal style. So whatever that look may be, present the best version of yourself. After a while coloring my bleach stains in with a sharpie, just doesn't cut it! Haha!

Keep a clean and organized station and salon. First impressions are everything! If your guest walks into a clean salon and sits at an organized station they will be so much more comfortable. Keeping an entire salon tidy is a group effort, so help your teammates out!

Does your salon offer airbrush makeup? We just introduced it to our list of services and have been loving it! The makeup goes on beautifully and there are so many beautiful colors and highlighters to play with. It has been a great addition to our salon services.

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.
