Hey there!

As we focus on retaining our talented stylists, one essential element stands out: building trust. Trust is the foundation that helps your team grow and develop thriving careers. Here are three steps to effectively build trust with your employees:

3 Steps to Build Trust

1. Open Communication: Foster an environment where team members feel safe to share their thoughts and concerns. Regular check-ins can help facilitate this.

2. Lead by Example: Demonstrate integrity and transparency in your actions. When leaders model trustworthiness, it sets the tone for the entire salon.

3. Provide Constructive Feedback: Offer feedback that is both supportive and actionable. This helps your salon team understand their strengths and areas for growth.

Why Prioritizing Trust Matters

If you don’t prioritize trust-building within your salon, it can hurt your business in two significant ways:

1. Staff Won't Hear Your Feedback: Without trust, your team may dismiss your input, limiting their growth.

2. Increased Turnover: When employees don’t feel supported, they’re more likely to leave, leading to high turnover rates that disrupt your salon’s success.

Testimonial: “Working with Stefanie is like a breath of fresh air. She inspired me to believe that skills I don't have yet can be learned, and that feeling overwhelmed with marketing is normal but doesn’t have to stall me. Since taking the crash course, I've hired two people onto my seven-person team and have seen a steady increase in new followers and first-time appointments.” – Jan M. Jacksonville, FL
