KEY TAKEAWAYS:

Paul Mitchell School Placement Leader = matchmaker for salons and their students, aka Future Professionals, aka Rising Stylists

The biggest thing Rising Stylists are thinking about is a comfortable environment to work in.

How the stylists, not necessarily the owner, treats Rising Stylists can make or break the relationship they have with the salon.

Have clear expectations and directions by having a clear chain of command or education so Rising Stylists are not confused or feel intimidated by not knowing whom to listen to or ask.

Rising Stylists are more sensitive than previous generations and require greater investment. To increase your chances of getting an ROI on training Rising Stylists: utilize shadow days and model trials to ensure you are hiring a good fit.

Also, have them perform services while they are training.

Rising Stylists want benefits like flexibility and paid time off

SALON OWNERS: try having some short shifts and longer shifts to be more appealing to Rising Stylists.

Big companies like ULTA, JC Penney, & Sephora pitch to Rising Stylists and are able to provide benefits that the rest of the industry usually cannot.
