We’re getting really stuck into the serious stuff, too. Together with a team of experts, at Salon Smart 2017 we’ll be discussing and debating highly topical issues such as the national minimum wage and its impact on salon business and operations, as well as the pros, cons and mishaps of chair rental – “to employ or not to employ”, that really will be the question.
Full of bright ideas and real experiences – tried, tested and talked about by real hairdressers – Salon Smart 2017 will also see the introduction of our NEW themed Sunday Sessions, addressing the “new rules of recruitment” as well as staff retention and motivation challenges, and delivering first-hand insight from salons who’ve been there, done that, found (or lost) their fab new apprentices. Staffing case studies, recruitment model comparisons, training and development insight, live discussion and debate… it’s going to be a bumper start to Salon Smart 2017!
