In our industry, double booking is not just the normal, but rather a statement of earning your way to a greater level. Learn about why we double book.
WHAT IT MEANS
A double or triple booked appointment means your Stylist and/or salon has such a demand for guests, they need to utilize processing times, styling times and prepping timeframes to fit you in for your appointment.
In our industry, this is not just the normal, but rather a statement of earning your way to a greater level. Some of you may notice that we now have full-time assistants to help with this demand.
It’s no secret that we’re maximizing our time behind the chair. Our Stylists are behind the chair 35 hours a week. In our opinion, choosing to be a Hair Stylist is one of the toughest professions to excel in. What you may not know is not only is our career physically demanding, because we’re on our feet all day, lifting our arms and bending over frequently… It’s also tapping into both sides of our brain! We are thinking logically and analytically because performing hair coloring services is chemistry and performing haircutting services is geometry. We’re tapping into our creative brain which inspires us to formulate the beautiful colors and visualize the perfect shape and style for you! Finally, we are emotionally engaged with our guests. Essentially, no matter what happens to us personally, we are “on” when we are with our guests. Every day is an awesome day, because every day is all about you. It’s not a career for the faint hearted and at Be Inspired Salon, we take our profession seriously. We’re here because we love people, we love to transform our guests and we want to thrive economically at the same time.
HOW IT WORKS
Let’s imagine you’re scheduled for a haircut. Your haircut may take between 30 to 90 minutes. Meanwhile, we have a guest seeking a color appointment. We are able to apply their color in 30 to 45 minutes which will need to process for 30 to 60 minutes. This will allow us to fit you in for your haircut appointment. Or possibly, you have a color appointment and we could do this same overlapping with the color prior to yours to accommodate yourself and the other guest.
HOW WE PULL THIS OFF: TEAMWORK
It’s not just about the teamwork we have with our colleagues, but also the teamwork we have with our guests. Great communication are the building blocks for fantastic relationships. It’s very obvious to our guests how fabulous our teamwork is with one another. And though no business is perfect, we strive for excellence every day. We promise that one week from today, one month from today and one year from today, we will be functioning better than today, because constantly changing for the better is our number one priority. We don’t want to be the biggest, we want to be the best.
Thank you so much! We look forward to seeing you soon.
