Top Tips to Minimise Salon Stress

Prevent stress before your body gives early signs of burnout.  Anxiety, headaches, muscle aches, exhaustion, appetite issues and trouble sleeping are all red lights! Is the best way to maintain a healthy lifestyle at work? No! So what can you do?

Plan Ahead

Plan your day, and your week, with a ‘to do’ list. Write your list every Sunday so you are ready for the week ahead and will avoid feeling overwhelmed. Be realistic with your workload and organise tasks in order of importance. This will reduce the stress attached to them. Make sure you set achievable goals, otherwise your ‘to do’ list will add to your stress.

Stay in the Moment

If you are completing a task or treating a client – do that! Don’t get distracted by worrying about the other things you have to do – you’ll get to them when you can. Staying in the moment will help you achieve the best results and experience for your client – with no distractions.

Take a Break

Don’t skip your breaks. Whatever is planned for your day (and regardless of how many clients you have booked in) make sure you take a break. Schedule it at a certain time if you need to. Create a routine and make sure you make time for yourself in your day. Sacrificing this time will increase your stress levels and make your day harder. This leads to stress in the long term.  At the same time, make sure your working hours are not too drastic. It is easy to be as flexible as possible to suit clients – but you can end up overworking yourself. Don’t work too late as it will affect your health and happiness in the long run.

Rewards 

Reward yourself for hard work – a little treat can go a long way.  A cup of tea after a busy day, or a day out on your day off.  If you work hard – play hard too! Minimise salon stress for your team – and for yourself – by following our top tips to help see you through the busiest times.

Rebecca Willshee Nail and Beauty Specialist

Testimonial: “JC was so low, suicidal at points. Sore, red, angry, his skin was awful, we had tried everything and doctors you name it. We reached out to Becky, who was wonderful. My son was quiet and withdrawn, lacked confidence and self esteem, and locked himself away from the world. Becky booked us in for a consultation to discuss different options of treatments and we decided the new hydro treatment would be the best option. We started the course and JC was nervous but Becky was great with him talking him through everything, step by step! As we went each time JC’s skin got better and better, but also the difference in him was huge, he was gaining confidence, shoulders back, head held high. We have watched his skin change from this red, aggressive, angry skin that was sore, acne was debilitating to him but now he is confident, holds his head up high and has even got his first job! We are so proud. When we met Becky I felt confident she would help us get his skin better and back on track but what has actually happened is skin looks amazing but to see our son gain confidence has been the biggest win! Teens often get pushed aside, put on string meds and told “it’s just your age” but this isn’t what they want to hear, but The SkinBase treatments Becky has done has changed his life! We cannot thank you enough Becky! JC is continuing with the treatments as it still gets the odd breakouts but the scarring is still improving week in week out. The hydro Facial is just amazing and we cannot recommend it enough and of course Becky and her passion for skin and helping people is wonderful!”
