WORK-LIFE BALANCE, BIZ MODELS, & GENERATIONAL DIFFERENCES | TETYANA KAUFMAN | DIRECT SALES CONSULTANT | COSMOPROF | DC, MD, VA

Tune in to hear Tetyana share her perspective on work-life balance, business models, and generational differences in our industry!

KEY TAKEAWAYS:

-- Covid Impacted everyone differently

-- People want more time for self-care, at home, and with loved ones

-- The generational clash comes from a different approach to work and life than our parents and grandparents.

-- Instead of working hard, saving, and climbing a ladder, rising stylists and beauty pros want to enjoy what they do and have some sort of control over how they do it.

-- This clashes with salon owners trying to fill their salons after covid

-- Stylists left the salon to service their guests safely; some also left because they felt they would make more $$

-- Salons are tinkering with different business models

-- Make sure you understand the "Why" when selecting a business model or BTC path!

-- Why do you want independence, why do you want to be an employee, is a collective right for me, what do I want for my life and my work?

-- Membership-based, not rent-based model is referred to as a collective or collaborative environment

-- The collective is not a co-op, everyone has a say, but there is an individual/group that makes the final decisions based on the input of the members.

-- A lot of digitizing booking, check-in, and check-out processes

“I THINK HAIRSTYLISTS ARE THE COOLEST, NICEST, AND MOST FUN GROUP OF PEOPLE ON THE PLANET! I AM PASSIONATE ABOUT USHERING IN AN EMPOWERED-STYLIST FUTURE, AND I ABSOLUTELY LOVE GETTING STYLISTS FROM ALL WALKS OF LIFE TOGETHER IN A NON-COMPETITIVE ENVIRONMENT WHERE WE CAN LEARN, LAUGH, AND GROW TOGETHER.”
-Said by ME!
Robert started his hair journey as a kid in rural America offering haircuts on the street to kids in the neighborhood, not realizing, one day, he would find himself working the front desk at a hair salon while in high school. From there, his experience from salon-to-salon has included the front of the house, back of the house, stylist, educator, and consultant. It was during this movement through various salons he developed a passion to empower stylists and educate owners on how to raise the industry standard of excellence, mutual respect, and professionalism amongst stylists, managers, owners, and clients. Robert currently is the General Manager and a Master Stylist at Violet Salon in Georgetown, DC.
