Welcome back to Splitting Hairs, the free salon education podcast powered by Minerva Beauty! In today's episode, we're diving deep into the latest innovations shaping the world of haircare. From Dyson's groundbreaking blow dryer to the standout hairstyles at the Grammys and the exciting potential of AI technology, we've got a lot to cover. As your hosts, Christina Cavalcanti, Brian Haire, and Karlie Warehime, we're here to share our thoughts, insights, and of course, a little bit of our personality along the way. So grab your favorite styling tools and let's get started! Dyson's Supersonic R Blow Dryer: Alright, let's kick things off with Dyson's Supersonic R Blow Dryer. As salon professionals who are constantly on the lookout for tools that can elevate our game, we were naturally curious about this one. And boy, were we impressed! The power, the precision, the sleek design – it's everything we could ask for and more. Plus, knowing that it's protecting our clients' hair from heat damage? That's a win-win in our book. Grammy Hair Trends: Now, onto the Grammys – our favorite time of year for hair inspiration. From bold colors to intricate updos, the red carpet never fails to deliver. As stylists, we love dissecting these looks and figuring out how to recreate them for our clients. It's all about taking that celebrity glam and making it accessible to everyone. And let's be real, who doesn't want to feel like a superstar when they leave the salon? AI Technology in Haircare: Last but certainly not least, let's talk about AI technology in haircare. We'll admit, we were a bit skeptical at first. Can a computer really understand hair as well as we do? But after giving it a chance, we were pleasantly surprised. The personalized recommendations, the data-driven insights – it's like having a virtual assistant in the salon. And anything that helps us better serve our clients is a win in our book. Conclusion: As we wrap up another episode of Splitting Hairs, powered by Minerva Beauty, we're feeling inspired, excited, and ready to tackle whatever the future of haircare throws our way. From Dyson's innovative blow dryer to the latest Grammy hair trends and the promise of AI technology, the possibilities are endless. And with our passion, expertise, and a little bit of personality thrown in, we know we're ready to take on whatever comes next. Thanks for tuning in, and until next time, keep styling!

To my commissioned friends. Early in my career I worried so much about my commission percentage. Especially when I ran out of money. Now after owning a salon for 9 years I look at things different. I now understand that 90% of salons close within 10 years because even well run successful salon businesses are working with at best an 11% profit. which is not even 10% of the industry. The beauty of this business is we all have the power to make the paycheck we want. To get 40-45% of what you bring in is incredible if you think about it. I want to challenge you to focus on 3 things for 3 months. #1 build better relationships with your guests for instance listen to things they are saying about their hair and then offer some exciting things for their next visit. Doing this will instantly bring up your Frequency of Visit and Your rebooking percentage. #2 Average Ticket. Grow your average ticket by staying educated. Think about how when a new product comes out and you effortlessly sell it to your customers because it’s new and cool. This works the same with services. If you keep up on the latest trends through education you will easily be offering new services to your guests which will raise your average ticket. #3 change your work experience. Take pride in the way you prepare for each guest. When you’re not with a guest get a mannequin and try something new. Keep busy. There is nothing less motivating to yourself and the people around you then complacency. My point is The average U.S. Stylist brings in 50k in services. That means they take home 25k or less take home. Focus on these 3 things and send me a DM in 3 months I want to hear the changes in your mindset and paycheck. #makeyourownluck #freesaloneducation --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/freesaloneducation/support
