You need to have someone who can keep your place neat and tidy. Have plenty of toiletries in the bathroom and make sure it is spic and span. Create the environment of cleanliness and you will please your customers.

A successful manager is always someone who is uplifting and positive. This person should understand that their role is to motivate by being pleasant and uplifting people to a higher level then they are. You need someone that is a true people person and really loves to serve other human beings.

Some customers are more chatty then others. It is important to create a situation and ambiance for both of these types of people. Many people come to salons to socialize and others go for tranquility and to relax and be pampered. Know your customer and learn their heart and you will win them over forever.
