EP 118 Finding Your Perfect Salon
EP 118 Finding your Perfect Salon
We’ve been discussing the somewhat nerve-wracking process of finding your first salon job.
There is a quote by Anthony Robbins that says, “It’s in your moments of decision that your destiny is shaped.” This is true in selecting the first salon that you’re going to work in as well.
Part of your job search will be finding a salon that is the right fit. You will spend most of your days developing your skills and building your career there, so it’s important that you take the time to evaluate your potential workplace. Identifying a successful salon is not solely based on the clientele. Factors like a well-trained team and being in a high-traffic location also contribute to the salon’s success.
During the interview process, ask the owner or manager questions about the job and keep some of the following in mind:
- Does the owner or manager seem easy to talk to and do they communicate well with their team?
- What services are performed there and what does the salon charge?
- How large is the salon staff and what type of clients does the salon serve?
- Who schedules clients? What are your main job responsibilities, and will that change in time?
- How much will you be paid and what are the advancement possibilities? What benefits does the salon offer? (Medical insurance, retirement, paid holidays, education advancement)
The size of the salon shouldn’t be a major factor in deciding whether to accept a position. The physical size of a business is not an indication of its potential for growth or your potential to be successful.
Do not be overly influenced by the physical appearance or the busy activity that goes on inside a salon. A salon with expensive furnishings and a busy floor won’t always be the best place for you to grow and learn as a professional. Take time to evaluate each salon to make certain it will be an exciting place to work. Consider booking an appointment there and evaluate the various interactions first hand. Check out the level of service and client care, and the culture and atmosphere. Determine if it is a professionally operated business that will allow you to grow and achieve your goals.
There are several different types of salons that meet the needs and budgets of specific clientele. As you research the types you might work in, focus on the ones that will be the best fit for you.
