She really took initiative to make it all happen. It was a challenge, but we’ve been very successful and it’s so rewarding to have an employee show such creativity and contribute to her salon and environment.” “In the renovation of our new salon, we installed a high-efﬁciency air conditioner and compact ﬂorescent lighting—even though we increased our salon space 30 percent, our electric bill has reduced by 50 percent.” “In October, we teamed up with St. John’s Hospital and KSNF (our local TV station) and came up with a breast cancer awareness campaign called ‘Pampering for Prevention.’ St. John’s mobile mammography van came to our salon, and we encouraged clients to have their yearly mammogram screening before or after their service. It was a huge success!” “With our ﬂexible work schedule, we used to have a hard time making sure everyone recieved new information. We now make it a requirement that staff check their e-mail at least once every three days. To reward those who keep on top of our correspondence, we occasionally offer a prize for a quick response.” 52 | January 2009 www.salontoday.com http://www.lifesalonspa.com http://www.lyndonssalonspa.com http://www.maudehair.com http://www.parlorhairsalon.com http://www.ncolorsalon.com http://www.oasissalonanddayspa.com http://www.salontoday.com
