A good salon is from the top to the bottom.
Leading by example is a powerful way to inspire and motivate your team, which in turn helps create a positive environment for growth. When leadership sets the standard for excellent work and customer service, it can greatly influence the team’s behaviour, fostering collaboration and improving customer experiences.
In the context of a hair salon, leading by example is crucial for creating a positive environment for both your team and customers. Here are a few ways to apply this:
Model Professionalism: As a leader, showing up on time, maintaining a positive attitude, and offering high-quality service sets the standard for your team. This helps establish a culture of respect and professionalism, which customers will notice.
Foster Team Growth: Encourage your stylists to continue learning and developing their skills, whether through workshops, training, or sharing tips. If you’re continuously improving your own knowledge, your team will be more likely to do the same.
Customer-Centred Approach: When you go above and beyond to meet a customer’s needs, it shows your team how important customer satisfaction is. Be the first to listen actively, be kind, and handle complaints gracefully.
Create a Supportive Atmosphere: A happy team is key to great customer service. Encourage open communication, recognize achievements, and ensure your team feels valued.
Attention to Detail: Whether it’s the cleanliness of the salon, the quality of the products you use, or the way customers are greeted, attention to detail creates an outstanding customer experience.
When leadership is present and actively involved, it makes a huge impact on the team’s performance and the overall customer experience.
