As the owner of the salon, you have ultimate control of every aspect within it. You’re responsible for making a profit, the cash flow, marketing, finding a premise, and oversee branding. One of the most challenging tasks of being an owner of any business is hiring a good staff.

Professional staff helps you deliver the best salon services and convert first time buyers to permanent customers. Many things are dependent upon the ability of staff. Staff attitude and their work ethics can affect different aspects of your business, from client relationship to the bottom line. As your aim is to make your customers feel fabulous, you have to be very careful with who you hire.

Hiring Salon Staff Is Not Simple

Hiring staff is not going to be easy for any salon owner, partly because this responsibility is time-consuming. A lot of competition is out there for qualified salon personnel. Due to the competition in this industry, finding experienced, talented, and responsible staff is difficult. Plus, there is the issue of walkouts. This is when someone on your staff (usually the stylists) decide they can do better on their own and leave your salon to start their own business. Not only you lose your experienced personnel, but it also creates a problem in the environment of the salon, including some of your clients leaving to join the new business.

Here’s a list of employees you’re likely to need for the day-to-day functioning of your hair salon:

•  Salon Manager
•  Hairstylist/Cosmetologist
•  Salon Assistant/Helper
•  Receptionist
•  Manicurist

 If you want to give spa services to your salon, you’ll need the following staff as well:

•  Aesthetician
•  Massage Therapist

When you hire professional staff, you and your clients gain more confidence in your products and services. In addition to hiring great salon staff, it is important to consider the many other aspects you need to do, such as an appropriate location, the interior of the salon, quality services, and the right equipment, to make your salon business successful.
