Unlike other industries,
outstanding hairdressers
have a great opportunity
to control their own
success or failure in the
beauty profession.
Bridging the Gap Between
Staff and Management
WE MUST FORM A UNITED FRONT!
I was recently viewing comments from
hairdressers in one of our industry chat
rooms about salon owners. I was
alarmed by the degree of animosity,
misunderstanding and negative attitudes
toward salon owners and their managers.
Maybe some of these comments are
Justified, on the other hand, sadly many
of these negative comments and attitudes
are the result of poor communication
between staff and management and
lack of informatio n about the business
and costs of owning a business that does
provide jobs, education, on job training
and advancement opportunities.
Every day we read in the newspapers
that companies are
laying people off or
downsizing due to a
slow and changing
economy .Unlike
many other
professions,
outstanding
hairdressers will always be in great
demand and will never be out of a job.
Although we face many deep rooted
obstacles and educational challenges in
building a successful and fulfilling
hairdressing career,
the beauty
profession can offer a short cut to
financial security and is basically a
recession proof business. Once we are
able to gain experience, knowledge, and
create a demand for our services, the
sky, s the limit .Despite
many industry obstacles,
a hairdressing career can
offer unlimited
opportunities for those
who truly want to make a
better life for themselves
and their family. This is also one of the
few professions I know where you
literally can get all the overtime you
want, once you create a dema nd for your
services .Unfortunately , far too many
hairdressers take their jobs and a
hairdressing career for granted and are
unwilling , to take full responsibility for
their own success or failure . Many
never reach their goals
because it requires sacrifice
and effort. It's much easier
to blame circumstances or
our boss for our failures.
Everyone has the potential
to be as successful as they
want to be. There is no
speed limit in learning and achieving
success. We should all be thankful we
have jobs and the opportunity to control
our own success or failure.
This is one of the few
professions I know
where you can
literally control your
own success or
failure.
The biggest
obstacles to
your own
success or
failure will
probably rest
on you.
