Salon Management Essentials

Learn the essentials of how to manage a team of millennial hair artists using both compassion and data driven goals.

In the hair industry, a lot of people are working extremely hard but never feel as though they’re worth what they’re being paid. We all know the basics of how to build our business, but that’s only the beginning. In these 2 three hour courses, Art + Science General Manager Andrew Mooney will talk through the numbers and the principals that completely changed Art + Science Salons' management. Learn how to work smarter not harder, where to save money, where to spend it and how to build the career you deserve.

Understanding Millennials - 10am - 1pm (3 CE Hours) - Millennials are here and they’re here to stay. We’ve been called lazy, entitled and sensitive, but say what you will, Millennials are changing the way we think about business, both as clients and as employees. Are you going to simply deal with these young people using the business practices of yesteryear, or are you ready to innovate and become a salon of the future?

Salon Management Essentials - 2pm - 5pm - (3 CE Hours) - The industry is changing and so is our understanding of how to run a successful salon. This course will dive into Art + Science’s 30 year history, exploring the best choices we have made...and the worst. This course is perfect for young managers who don’t know how to best motivate their staff and make sure your company stays out of the red. It will explore both the big picture and the nitty gritty so you know that you are making the best choices for your business and your team.

Each course is $60 or you can take both for $110. Both classes are part of the Art + Science Business School and will be offered again at later dates.
