What is on Cosmetology Students Minds? Dec 02, 2019

Show notes

Salon Owners and Managers, this is a conversation you do not want to miss! Have you ever wondered, what is on the mind of a cosmetology student? What type of salon are they looking for, What are their fears, and What do they want for their career? If you said Yes to any of these questions, you're not alone. In the past decade, the salon industry has evolved so quickly, with the scaling of social media, and the growing opportunity for self-employed stylists. that many salon owners feel they can't quite keep up with it all... Because of this, two of the most common challenges have become Recruiting and Retaining new hairstylists. There are many myths about why this is so difficult. Cynical owners and managers say things like, "New hairstylists just don't want to work hard" or "people are less loyal than they used to be". Reasons like this could not be further from the truth. In this conversation, Keune Academy Cosmetology Students ask John and Chris the questions that are currently on their minds. Get a peek into the minds of the new generation of cosmetology students. Special Thanks to; Steffano, Georgie and Kody for the fantastic questions and answers!
