Are you experiencing a high turnover of stylists “In the Salon”? Does good help seem hard to find? In my 10 plus years in the industry, I have seen salons lose staff repeatedly.
If you are a salon owner or manager that is having difficulty creating a successful salon team, discover these to improve the foundation of your business, which is your staff.
1.) Have regular salon meetings. If your salon isn’t meeting the business goals, there should be a weekly or daily salon meeting. One of the biggest roadblocks to a prosperous salon is the lack of communication. So many salons lose because the value of unifying is lost and unimplemented.

2.) Research educational events for your staff to attend. Learning to improve work skills can help keep your staff ready and motivated. Don’t limit yourself to technical education. Consider seminars that encourage character building as well.
3.) Always look for an opportunity to reward your staff. I think many times people forget how important recognition is to a human being. If you can’t reward them with something physical, keep in mind the power of an authentic thank you. Showing appreciation to your stylist can do wonder for your business, and not doing so can jeopardize it.
If your salon staff is coming and going, these solutions can help you achieve a team that is willing and motivated to meet your salon goals.
