05/29/2013 There are many ways for stylists to receive training that
translates into success. It’s often best if many of them occur directly
in the convenient environment of your studio. This helps staff members
feel confident about incorporating professional salon supplies into
client consultations and continually grow skill sets in ways that keep
the establishment competitive. Whether you already offer educational
opportunities for employees or are looking for ways to get started, the
ideas below can help you offer programs that’ll make employees love to
learn throughout their careers.
Let Them Learn From Experts
If retail sales are a big part of your salon’s business strategy, you
might be able to set aside a time where representatives from particular
product lines come to offer hands-on training for interested persons.
This tactic has advantages for everyone: Your employees get helpful
tips straight from reputable sources, and retail representatives will
appreciate being able to teach stylists how to use an item correctly.
Whether the product is a curling iron that features an innovative design
or a shampoo that adds noticeable vigour to people’s strands
immediately after they step away from salon basins,
correct usage makes it easier for clients to see the benefits of
particular products. That can translate into improved sales for the
manufacturer, and boost traffic in your establishment too, especially if
you have exclusive rights to offer a particular service or product to
clients.
Create Incentives
Many people have good intentions about engaging in a perpetual
learning process but find it’s easier said than done, usually because of
other obligations. If stylists have already spent eight or more hours
standing next to hairdressing trolleys
to accommodate clients, even the most dedicated learners may find their
enthusiasm waning. To make the prospect more appealing, offer something
special like a pay bonus or free lunch for staff members who take the
initiative to broaden their skills, especially outside of work hours.
Also, give perks to customers by offering discounts to anyone who
opts to depend on the services of stylists who have recently been
trained in a new technique. Employees gain real world experience as they
stand behind the salon chairs and customers get peace of mind from
knowing the staff member has decided to stay relevant by learning about
current trends.
The positive sides of encouraging staff members to remain educated
should be clear. Help employees see learning opportunities as fun
occasions instead of time-consuming requirements by experimenting with
the suggestions above.
