Keep Your Test Strands Organized
by Staff on Friday, May 22, 2009
As salon professionals, we usually have very busy days in the salon. If you’ve ever had a situation where you ‘forgot’ which test strand goes with which formula, here is a simple rule to follow: always put the lighter formula on the left side in the back of your guest’s head. Then, place the darker of the two test strands on the right. Do the same thing with your haircolor and lighteners when foiling, so when you look down at your color trolley or station, the lightener is on the left and high-lift color is on the right. If you do this, you won’t have to question your test strands and highlight choices.

Business Building Techniques Begin having frequent staff meetings and collaborate on business building techniques used by others that you work with. Every salon has success right inside. Get the top booker to explain how they do it. Pair the weakest with the strongest and let them work next to each other. They can learn from what they hear and see. Do the same with retail sales. Share the ways that the top stay on top. Geno Stampora, Stampora Consulting Inc. |
