Day Break At Harvester C.C

Published by admin on October 1, 2009

Day Break at Harvester Christian Church is a womans retreat. We have been invited to participate for the last couple of years. It is a very nice event.

I think it is so important for ladies to take time for themselves to recharge and unwind. From my many years in the industry I have noticed that they rarely take the time to do so.

Our class is of course about salon ideas and how we can help ladies look and feel better. If we can solve some problems and save them some time even better.

We had three 45 minute classes to get our message out. We love to bring in our team members who are our rising stars to participate. We choose our models right on the spot from the audience and do a live conversation and then give them the make over in front of the attendees. As you can imagine cutting and speaking live is a bit more of a challenge than in the salon. Here’s what they did.

Lindsey has been with us for 1 1/2 years and is so technical at her approch to hair. It is a pleasure for me to watch her cut as every move is on task. That might sound insignificant, but it is very important. She did a great job. Gave her model a great new look and update.

Danielle has been with us just over a year. When she started to speak Talisa (my wife) and I just looked at each other and smiled. Talisa whispered “you can go now” indicating that Danielle had it covered and I was no longer needed. She spoke like a seasoned veteran. Having done stage work for over 15 years myself, she performed way beyond her years of training.

Stefanie is a seasoned veteran. With 12 years of experience she made the task look so easy. Although new to our team (6 months) she brings a great new approach to our salon. She gave wonderful time saving tips and styling ideas to her model.

I am so proud of our team. They gave up their time behind the chair in the salon where they are comfortable and make money, to give back to the community where we all live and prosper from.

My charge is to help each team member challenge themselves to do more than they thought they could and evolve into the salon professional that I know they are. Sometimes I know it and see it before they do. “That’s the best part of my job”
