As salon owners and employers sometimes the going gets tough.
We had 2 staff leave over the past 2 months (went to the same low rate salon that offers amazing wages yet advertises every 3 months for new stylists to replace the ones who left)...
Anyway...
Today I was interviewing, as I have been all week, and one of my staff members approached me...well..here's my Facebook status update...
"How to fail an interview: I ask you what your 3 must have hair products are. You tell me what they are. I ask you "So how do they work? What's the main ingredient that does that?" and you look at me with a blank expression. MULTIPLE FAIL.
Meanwhile, my existing team told me today that next month they are going to climb to the top of Mount Snowdon (highest mountain in Wales) to raise money for kids in the 3rd world who have no access to clean drinking water. All of the money they collect will be used for building new fresh water wells for these kids.
Some people surprise me and others humble me. Today I met hairdressers who couldn't even be bothered to read the back of a bottle in their entire career. Then I talked to XXXXXXXXXXXXX team members who told me they are walking up a mountain for a glass of water. Inspiration is everywhere! So very proud of the people I work with!!! "
I think that about says it all!
