Mission Possible – An Incredible Career in 52 weeks (Week 7)

Mission 7 Think Win,  Win.

 National statistics show that the average salon only
makes a 6% profit and that a large percentage of independent salons are likely
to fail. On average only 2 in 5 stylists will still be doing hair in 3
years. Some of the statistics can
be pretty sobering. However it
doesn’t have to be that way. There
is no reason why both salons and stylists can’t be very successful if they work
together. There must be an
attitude of cooperation in which every situation is win-win. Any relationship which is one sided
will fail. Stylists and Salon
Owners must work together to become more business oriented to survive. So where do you start? First we have to understand each
other. Stylists need to realize
that owners probably aren’t getting rich off of them and that owner, who has probably borrowed against
everything they own just to start the salon, must make a reasonable profit. For owners they need to understand that it is human nature
for all of us to want to make as much money as possible and to have the opportunity
for continued growth. Successful
salons are very team oriented. If
you want to be successful, get out
and find a place where both you and the salon can be successful together
