It is important to work closely with your employer and coworkers because it will help create a strong, successful salon that will eventually secure your future in this industry. To be competitive, the entire staff must work together. You want to create an atmosphere that will make your clients enjoy their visits to your salon so much they will not want to go to another.
Below are guidelines to follow for dealing with employers and coworkers.
1. Communicate. Establish an open, honest line of communication between yourself and your employer. Be perfectly honest about your strengths and weaknesses. Make sure your work meets the standards the salon expects.
2. Be willing to learn. Keep an open mind and be willing to accept suggestions. Don't automatically assume that your way of doing something is the only correct way. Nail products and services are improved often; be prepared to update your skills.
3. Give credit to others. Never take credit for another person's ideas. Try to acknowledge contributions made by others.
4. Respect the opinions of coworkers. Your ideas and opinions are important, but yours are not the only ones. Frequently, the ideas of many people create the best solution.
5. Take the initiative. Never be afraid to offer help or suggestions to make things better or easier for your employer or coworkers.
6. Use good judgment. If you have a problem or question about your job, discuss it directly with your employer, not with your clients or coworkers.
7. Leave personal problems at home. Do not tell your personal problems to your employer, fellow employees, or clients. Personal problems are distractions that interrupt the concentration needed to do a good job.
8. Never borrow money from employers or coworkers. This is a practice that can result in a very awkward work situation. Eventually your coworkers may lose respect for you.
9. Promote the salon. Learn about the other services offered at your salon, such as hair care, skin care, and cosmetic consultations so you can promote the entire salon to clients.
10. Develop your ability to sell. Explain the benefits of products and services to clients without pressuring them.
