Hello Readers!

My name is Angela and I am a salon owner.

I’ve been repeatedly asked by the “publisher” of “The Hairstylist Blog” to contribute from the perspective of a salon owner. I’ve wanted to for quite some time; however, finding the time was next to impossible. Owning and operating a salon, being the leader of a staff of designers, coaching and mentoring them, and working behind the chair 2 days a week, doesn’t leave much time for contributing to anything. So, be on the lookout for more content from my perspective of a salon owner! However, after being handed an Avon “campaign” book by one of my own guests, informing me that Avon now sells “professional” haircolor pushed me to write this blog as my premiere post:

Ever have a guest call you 2 weeks after a haircut stating that it is too long, uneven, doesn’t like the cut, et cetera? Or they call 6 weeks later and you want to let them know it’s time for their next appointment – not a free cut fix? Or how about a highlight guest who always calls the next week complaining about one strand of hair she wants blonde that didn’t get highlighted? I’m sure we all have the guests who sometimes take advantage…but we also have guests who have a genuine and legit aggravation or guests who never speak up when they are unhappy and then never return. Personally I would like to hear it when my guest is unhappy-otherwise how can I ever learn from my mistakes?

Take a seat back hairstylists Panasonic develops a robotic system that will wash your hair.

And no it doesn’t have 10 fingers. It has 16!

“With 16 fingers, the robot washes hair and rinses the shampoo bubbles with the dexterity of human fingers,” the company said in a statement.

“The robot’s two arms scan the head three dimensionally as they move and measure and remember the head shape to apply just the right amount of pressure to each person when shampooing and massaging.”

Looks like this will not hit stores for another two years, but it is interesting none the less.
