"The most common comment we hear when someone leaves their long-term hairdresser is that they never changed-they never offered something fresh," says Andrew Carruthers, Director of Education for Sam Villa. In-salon education can ignite a stylist's creativity and teach the latest looks to keep clients on trend and in the chair.
Salons that build their brand on a culture of education, progression, and passion will always have an increased number of new guest bookings, higher guest retention, and lower stylist tuover- elements that undoubtedly lead to more profits.
"We're approaching education differently this year by taking a diverse stance in the means of speaking and working to demonstrate how stylists can deliver more value to clients in today's world. Discovering new creative approaches to cutting and finishing globally influenced shapes to keep it fresh for clients and profitable for stylists and salon owners," explains Sam Villa, Founding Partner of Sam Villa and Education Artists Director for Redken.
The massive benefit to in-salon education is the ability to customize the process and information to the individual needs of a specific salon," adds Carruthers who teaches three specialized classes, along with "Custom Experience" -a workshop custom designed to meet specific and specialized needs.
