September's Talk

Social Media by Ann

The challenges and opportunities of social media. This month I went along to a JOICO Social Media course. I went along to improve on strategies that would be effective to  engage better with our target market and increase brand awareness.
I walked away from that course excited to know that I hadn't wasted my money or time. I literally walked out of there with so much that I couldn't wait to start putting some things into play.
IT does my head in....it is constantly changing and I hate struggling with trying to workout which tabs do what! But once I've worked it out, I'm a very happy chappy.

Circle of Services by Kat

Ann and I decided months ago to do this L'Oreal Management course, which was held in Auckland.

In summary the course it self focused on creating systems that meet high quality service standards. This is dependent on two fundamental bases of knowledge in the salon:

• The salons mission statement
• Team members having a clear understanding of what they are building together.

This course made me realise how the systems and procedures we have placed in our salon, reflects our culture, values and our vision. I learnt how to better service clients and much more...

I walked away from this course thinking there is still a lot more to learn, but I'm looking forward to putting what I learnt into action. I would strongly recommend anyone who is keen on managing to do this course.

Apprentice Talk by Alli

I have now finished my training at Weltec for the year. Finishing the course and passing all of my units has been a great achievement! My tutor wrote a Off Job Training Report which highlighted how well she thought I had done and that she had noticed some real positive changes in my work ethics. I put this down to having a great bunch of work colleagues, who take a lot of interest in ensuring that I do things correctly. All of this has helped me grow and become more confident. I'm excited to continue learning in our salon environment and over the following months I will be preparing for my finals next year.

  Men's Promotion by Carmelita

Over the months of July, August and September, we had our Men's Promotion to show the guys we appreciate them too. For every adult male who had their haircut with us at Salon Villair, they were automatically entered into the draw to win a  Pro-formance  tote bag and men's hair products.

We had 5 winners who each received a goody bag each:

• John Peters
  
• Josh McAllum
  
• Josh Wilson
  
• Brian Benson
• Ross Anderson
  

We hope you men enjoy your goody bag.

In-Salon Training with Emma

This months training Alli wanted a change from her usual rich red tones. Instead she wanted to go copper.
We used the new copper and butterscotch duo lights to get a rich, warm copper effect.
The new copper duo light is a creme lightener that lifts and deposits brilliant copper tones, whilst keeping the hair in healthy condition.
No pre-lightening is required and it can lift up to 5 shades. It saves time and money.

Barbering by Carmelita

Thanks Lance for allowing Carmelita to
display her barbering techniques.
Men's hair and styling techniques have never
been more interesting and exciting....
