How To Deal With
Bozo-Dozo-Schmozo Stylists That Turn Up To Your Salon For A Job
Before you all
send me (more)
emails telling
me how great
you are I want
to say this. I
have seen some
absolutely
AMAZING
hairdressers
in my salons.
However, did
you know this
little un-cut
fact: It takes
moving over
1,000 ton of
earth to find
1 ounce of
diamonds!
Finding good
stylists are
the same.
This little
article will
help you.
You have
no-idea of
what they'll
be like until
they day they
come and set
up in the
corner of your
salon and
begin their
snotty little
path of
destruction
within your
salon!
I fell for
it.
A ton of years
ago a girl
called Helen
came to me for
a job. Her
reference was
from Toni &
Guy. She gave
me the number
and told me to
call and ask
for James.
After talking
to James ...
Me being nice
and kind gave
this MONSTER a
job. Now to be
fair on me I
didn't know
she was a
monster. I
though she
seemed like a
hot-talented-hairdresser.
Just weeks
after she
started in the
salon and
other 2
stylists left
due to her.
The
appointment
book began
dropping in
bookings
faster than
any
super-duper-high-lift-tint!
Helen would be
more than
happy to sit
on her fat
little
backside
drinking
coffee at my
$8,000 desk in
the front of
the salon.
Huuuuh ,
loser!
To cut a long
story short,
she was fired
and I found
out that the
reference I
phoned in the
beginning at
Toni & Guy was
in fact her
boyfriend
mothers house
where a just
as moronic
dumbo answered
the call and
messed me
around.

Okay
Steve,
stop rambling
HOW DOES THIS
AFFECT MY
HAIRDRESSING
SALON?
Dead simple.
You can stop
these morons
getting into
your salon
before they
GET-IN. It
takes time and
some screening
but can be
done. Check
out the list
below. It'll
give you a
stack of thing
to do to STOP
them!
Anyway check
out the list
below it'll
help you.
-
Respect the right, bozos included, of everyone
to better themselves. Just cause they've walked in with a smoke in
one hand and sandwich in the other ... they still have rights!
-
Watch for bozos that really are looking for you
to do something wrong. They'll pounce on you like a cat with a mouse
and then ... devour you!
-
Develop a system for screening out bozos
through an application and telephone interview process. These are
much less time consuming than face –to –face interviews (it can be
hard getting time in the salon when its nuts or were short staffed but
MAKE the time for this it saves hassles later on).
-
Do
a 3 stage interview, telephone interview for 15 mins You will soon
weed out the bozos without having to spend your precious time with
them. If they seem OK then use lots of questions like tell me what do
you think the job you have applied for involves, how do you feel when
the salon is busy, what makes you laugh, what makes you angry, etc
think of Questions that they could not say no or yes to. Use silence
one of the best open question techniques it makes them feel they have
to say more and they usually do. Then if they sound good get them in
for a day to work, yep and also get them some models to do even if
they are just starters. Then get one of your team to interview them
and decide as a group because they have to work with them as well
right? -
Try not to react inappropriately. When the
applicant says they could not make the interview because their
spouse took the car to the bar, just grin internally and bear it.
-
Develop ways to hide your astonishment. This
can help avoid confrontation. When the applicant explains the 7-year
gap in work experience as ‘a series of odd jobs’, understand
that this explanation may be perfectly rational to him (if they are
vague ... make sure the explain 173% why!).
-
If the applicant states they are still in the
recovery process and they ‘are almost there’ think quickly about
the part that is not there.
-
Recent custody of children should not suffice
as an inspirational motivator. Custody may only mean the other
spouse fell in first.
-
Do not be surprised at what anyone says.
-
Beware of applicants that have left every
previous job because of personality conflicts.
-
Beware of applicants that have left every
previous job ‘because the company went out of business’.
-
Beware of applicants whose references are
currently in prison.
-
If an applicant comes to interview a bit tipsy,
try to be sensitive and understand it is not pleasant looking for
work.
-
If an applicant smells badly look for a vent or
window and remark how the new heating system works a little too
well.
-
Do not stare at facial tattoos, pierced noses
or partially exposed genitalia.
-
Never say yes when asked to view unexposed
tattoos.
-
If an applicant’s train of thought drifts
then have them fill out an application and thank them for their
time. They won’t know they have been offended.
-
If an applicant tells you all the evils of
their last employer think what they will someday say about you.
All puns aside, a steady stream of
stylist bozo applicants can try your patience to the limit. NOTE: What
ever happens never be tempted to whack them over the head with a large
can of foam:-)
Handling the hairee-bozo gracefully can be
a learned skill that can provide some fun yet not detract from real
objectives.
DON'T
FORGET THIS::
You are going
to interview
some amazing
hairdressers.
You are going
to have some
rock 'n' roll
superstars
come for a
position in
your salon.
It's easy to
think they are
all bad.
They're not.
I've turned
guys away
thinking they
were no good
and they have
been amazing
but working in
he salon up
the road.
Getting
interviews
right is a
skill that can
make or break
your salon.
Stylist coming
and going
every other
work WILL
unsettle
clients and
can pull your
salon to a
grinding halt.
Ok, me outta here.
catch you all
soon.
