How One Sad Faced Stylist Lost His Way To The Darker Side Of Hairdressing By Moving 50 Yards Across The Road ... and How YOU CAN Learn From It!Hey Steve here. Darren is the stylist that's a total numbskull! And with less brain than a rare humpback whale (their brain is the size of a pea!). I'll prove it to you. Okay, this hungry to succeed hairdresser began work with me years ago. He appeared to be an honest, hardworking, loyal stylist. He worked hard and got paid well. Some weeks he could earn upwards of $1,500! Overall he was a good team member and great stylist. So, you ever get the feeling things aren't quite right with one of your team? Yep, it wasn't right. You see what do you get from a stylist that is on 3 times more than any stylist for miles around? What do you expect from a stylist that you loan money to interest free? What do expect from a stylist that has more time-off paid than most stylist get over 3 years? Apparently not a lot. Why? You know how your stylist hit you with a resignation notice at the end of the day (Saturday evening). Most "humane" hairdressers give you a week at minimum notice, right? He came into the office on a Saturday with his blonde bombshell news. Steve I am leaving. Okay says me but how much notice are you going to give me after me looking after you, paying you so well and helping you out a million times over the past 7 years? Darren:: None must go this minute. Steve:: Seriously? Darren:: Yeh ,he (new boss) is short staffed and needs me now. Steve: No words just ready to kill this parasite! So to end it there ... he went ... 30 yards across the road to work for someone he had called rotten over the past 7 years. I gave this guy
and ... it wasn't enough! He still went 30 yards over the road to our nearest competitor and cut my throat!
What went wrong and what can you learn to avoid the same mistake? Here is the lesson and it's a big one for any hair salon employer. I gave him everything ... I THOUGHT WAS RIGHT ... not what HE THOUGHT would be right! In other words the best way to keep anyone at your salon is to find out what turns them on and do your best to give it to them. So the best way to keep your mental stylists creating amazing work and doing fantastic haircuts in your salon is by following these points.
And what about Darren? Well how would you feel? Catch you all soon. I'm outta here. Steve PS Hope you're all enjoying the new Hairee format.
