KEY TAKEAWAYS:

-- Rising Stylists are interested in specializing, not doing all types of services

-- Some states are starting to allow for licensing in specific areas to get rid of the general license

-- Rising Stylists are not afraid to speak up and talk back...and they need to know why they are being asked what to do EVERYTHING

-- Schools usually have an advisory board made up of local salon owners and industry leaders to discuss the needs of the local industry and future employers of the graduates

-- Schools spend every hour that a student is present teaching them the only curriculum they are allowed to and that which is relevant to the state board.

-- Attend ALL state board meetings to get involved and shape the future

-- Successful Salon Owners in attracting and retaining Rising Stylists

-- they get out of their own way

-- listen to the younger generation and adapt to their needs

-- they provide massive flexibility and leveraging social media

-- Salon Owners who are not having success with Rising Stylists

-- they want Rising Stylists to train the same way they did

-- they want Rising Stylists to "pay their dues" vs. teaching them "the ropes"

-- SALON OWNERS:

-- codify all expectations and growth paths so you can refer to this anytime you have challenges from your Rising Stylists

-- call your local school and ask if they have an advisory board and get on it
