Your salon culture is everything. Not only does it define your own wellbeing – it also defines your staff and clients’ happiness. Read on to find out how to build a positive salon culture.

Build a Positive Salon Culture

A successful workplace is built on positivity, communication and trust. You should have a set of core values that influence the day-to-day – and the long term.  Why are you doing what you do? If your team is made up of people who share the same values, you will all be working towards a common goal. This creates a more positive and motivated environment. Make sure values are clear and communicated regularly. This will foster a sense of belonging.

Shared Values

Choose the right people who share your values and who will communicate them through their work. Team building is key to company culture. Consider who will fit in and be a positive influence. Communication allows the team to collaborate with each other. This helps to develop and strengthen their rapport.  Always make sure everyone feels respected and welcome.

Training

Once you have the right people, training and constant development is important for you and your team.  Learning and achieving allows every member of the team to be the best version of themselves. Remember that is who they show up as in your salon every day. Allocate a certain amount of hours a month to development to stay on track for success.

Motivate

Keep yourself and your team motivated by practising gratitude. Acknowledge hard workers and exceptional behaviour. Team meetings are a great opportunity to recognise achievements. Have a fun awards event to acknowledge your best employee every quarter. Rewarding hard work can be very motivating. Make sure your team gets opportunities to learn new skills and refine the ones they already have. Investing in your staff will make them feel valued.

Communication

Effective communication is vital to a positive work culture. Have regular meetings so that everyone is on the same page and aware of upcoming events. Make sure your employees feel they can talk to you.

Build a positive salon culture by being clear about your vision and values. Employing the right people and keeping your valued team motivated is essential. A salon’s culture has the potential to make or break a business. If you and your team are happy, the atmosphere will be good and it is likely your customers will be happy too.

Hayami Cosmetics

Client Testimonial: “Jodie is extremely professional and knowledgeable throughout the IPL treatment sessions. She explains the process and what to expect so that you are put at ease from the first consultation. During my IPL sessions, Jodie marked up the areas and avoided any moles or damaged skin, then preps using the cooler handle before a light shot. The light shot itself really doesn’t hurt, it’s done in seconds. The fact the skin is cooled first makes this an easy process to tolerate. I genuinely didn’t feel in pain at all and Jodie applied a lovely aloe balm to soothe the skin straight away. If anything I felt my appointments were more of a therapy as I knew I would be hair free come my holiday. After each session I came away feeling the progress getting better and better and by week 5 there was hardly any hair growth. I didn’t feel the need to shave anymore. I felt more confident and there is much less maintenance at home now which means I have more time for other things. I would highly recommend IPL hair removal by SkinBase and with Jodie as she made me feel at ease from the moment I asked about it and the difference it makes is life changing for someone who wasn’t so confident in her skin. I can’t wait for Summer and my holiday. Thanks Jodie & SkinBase.”
