To attract attention, it is painted in bright green colors and our salon logo. Our Hairdresser of the Month gets to drive the car, which has proven to be a great incentive for them.” “One of our most successful communication methods is our one-hour monthly meeting with a complimentary lunch. All must attend; this is made clear at the ﬁrst job interview.” “We reduced our backbar expenses by 50 percent by developing a system of checks and balances for keeping track of how much was used for stations and chemical services. We explained to the team the signiﬁcance of tightening up, and how we could use those dollars for other things, like education.” “Our apprentice program has been our most proﬁtable business decision this year. Each apprentice goes to weekly classes, assists top stylists daily and attends a monthly ‘free styling’ evening, which features our rising stars. The apprentices enabled us to double-book at a comfort level not previously experienced.” www.salontoday.com January 2009 | 33 http://www.fringehairsalon.com http://www.gaiamicrospa.com http://www.headlinesjc.com http://www.jeffreyrichardsalon.com http://www.joessalon.com http://www.greenergrasshair.com http://www.salontoday.com
