KEY TAKEAWAYS:
- Rising Stylists will ghost you if they are scared, feel uncomfortable, or detached from you, your brand, or your team.
- Constantly checking in with your Rising Stylists and team members is imperative to retaining them. This builds buy-in to your brand and is the glue that keeps the team together.
- Salon Owners: Break down your training program for transitioning Rising Stylists from Apprentice to behind-the-chair Stylist to attract more interest. Systems, systems, systems!
- The secret to Rising Stylists is to be nice, organized, willing & able to have conversations around work, and pay different from previous generations.
- If you do not want to "hold their hand" or have a play-by-play for their work and training, they will likely not stay with you.
- You may have to teach Rising Stylists things that you think should be common sense or come naturally. This is not unique to you, and you should not get frustrated...just accept this fact or deal with a ton of turnover until you find the "right" one.
