Destress Your Salon

Prevent Burnout

When you’re busy running around it is easy to neglect your own health. Prevent burnout and illness by recognising causes of stress. Notice high workload, conflict and long working hours.  Make sure jobs feel secure and make changes to help manage these natural stressors. Healthy habits like exercise and a balanced diet will lead to better sleep and higher energy levels.  Make sure you – and your team – have time to focus on your own health. Destigmatise talking about stress by encouraging healthy habits and model your own.

Create a Culture of Communication

A problem shared is a problem halved.  Aim for good communication between all staff regardless of their level within the business. Make sure junior staff feel listened to and valued. Treat everyone equally and reward hard workers.

Create a Positive Culture

Good open communication is the first step towards creating a positive culture. Encourage a few key lifestyle choices like:

  • Training and development
  • Teamwork
  • Fair pay and good working conditions
  • A healthy work/life balance

Create a Good Break Space

A haven for employees to escape and relax during the day is essential. Make sure it is a tidy, organised space too. It is important to make sure they always take their lunch break. It is all too easy to skip breaks to squeeze in a new client – but that makes burnout more likely. Encourage walks and fresh air during their break times. Offer a yoga class before the salon opens or after it closes as a stress management technique. Find out which activities  your team would prefer to get involved in.

Don’t Forget Rewards!

Your salon is nothing without your team. Offer a variety of rewards so your team feels valued. It could be a complimentary treatment for the hardest worker of the week, or a bonus at the end of the year. Big or small – always have things for you and your team to look forward to… this will help to destress your salon in the long run.

Client Testimonial: “Jodie is extremely professional and knowledgeable throughout the IPL treatment sessions. She explains the process and what to expect so that you are put at ease from the first consultation. During my IPL sessions, Jodie marked up the areas and avoided any moles or damaged skin, then preps using the cooler handle before a light shot. The light shot itself really doesn’t hurt, it’s done in seconds. The fact the skin is cooled first makes this an easy process to tolerate. I genuinely didn’t feel in pain at all and Jodie applied a lovely aloe balm to soothe the skin straight away. If anything I felt my appointments were more of a therapy as I knew I would be hair free come my holiday. After each session I came away feeling the progress getting better and better and by week 5 there was hardly any hair growth. I didn’t feel the need to shave anymore. I felt more confident and there is much less maintenance at home now which means I have more time for other things. I would highly recommend IPL hair removal by SkinBase and with Jodie as she made me feel at ease from the moment I asked about it and the difference it makes is life changing for someone who wasn’t so confident in her skin. I can’t wait for Summer and my holiday. Thanks Jodie & SkinBase.”
