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.

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.”
