Super Stylist

Are you starting out in the hairdressing industry?

Congratulations and welcome to what can be an exciting, fun, worthwhile and potentially well-paid career.

For some it doesn't always become a great career so here are 5 bits of advice to help you on your way…..

What will you learn today?

Everyone I have ever met who is successful at what they do has one thing in common, they never stop learning!

If you are like most people and are not satisfied with where you are currently in life and want more, then you need to learn new skills and gain more knowledge.

Are you going to keep on doing what you've always done and hope for a different result or are you going to do something about it?

Are you achieving your goals?

Are you achieving your goals? If you are like most people the answer will be “some of them yes!” and some of them “no”.

There are two types of goals, outcome goals and process goals. Achieving your outcome or results goal is dependent on achieving your process goal.

The process is the most important as if you focus on this, you'll get the results!

“Focus on the process and the results will take care of themselves.”

Is it still working?

The easy option is to keep doing what you're doing just because that's what you've always done….but maybe this isn't working anymore.

Ask yourself the question “is it still working” then give yourself an honest answer. Once you have acknowledged that it isn't working anymore and something needs to change, then you are already moving forward.

Next, it's about working out some alternative ways of achieving the outcome and becoming unstuck….. Now keep going!

If there was just one thing!

If there was one thing that you could do right now today that would make you a better hairdresser, or manager or salon owner, what would it be? Imagine if you changed just one thing a day, or even just one a week, where you would be in 12 months from now….?

If you don’t grow, your business never will.

“If you don’t grow, your business never will.”

Whether you are an individual or a salon owner, what are you doing to ensure that you keep learning, growing and developing as a professional?

The really successful people in any industry recognise that their education is never complete and that ultimately it is down to them to seek it out. They are looking for an ‘edge'.

They are not afraid of failure or stepping out of their comfort zone because that is where they find growth and opportunity. Use this practical next step to create a plan for yourself, or your salon, so that you are growing your business and not standing still.

Just start!

We all have people we admire for their ability to do something well but it's worth remembering that there was always a point in time when they were only as good as you are now. What sets them apart is that they made a decision to master that skill and committed to making it happen. That is what you have to do….. just start! And just by starting you are way ahead of most people who lack the courage to even try!

Focus on the process and the results will come.

Having goals is important but having goals on their own won't guarantee the results.

If you want to increase the likelihood of getting the results you want, then start focussing on the processes involved and trust that the results will come!

Make me feel important!

Having the ability to make someone feel like they are the only one in the room is a very important skill to develop as hairdressers. We want our clients to feel important, that we don't take them for granted and that we are 100% focused on them.

How good does it make you feel when someone blows you away with their friendliness and service?

Check out these top tips that will help you ensure that every client who walks in your door feels important and that you are completely focused on them.

Do you want more?

Most people want more but if you ask them what they are doing to learn how to get more, most people are doing very little, if anything at all.

What are you doing to get a different outcome? Most people spend more time planning for their summer holiday than their life but if you want something different to happen it's all down to YOU!

YOU are your greatest asset so it's important to spend time planning what you need to do and developing yourself so you get more as a result. Here are some practical tips on how to get started.
