Welcome back to Booked till June!! Come with us as we dive into a hot topic of discussion in the salon about the unspoken expectations of dress code or being unique. Which is acceptable?  How do professionals balance self-expression with work place policies? Dress codes help salons maintain a polished, professional image, but strict rules can feel limiting and controlling for artists in an industry built on creativity.

So, how can stylists stay true to their style while respecting salon guidelines? We will explore the importance of branding, professionalism and practicality. How personal style helps stylists connect with clients and build confidence. And we will ask whether uniformity creates a more polished look or should salons embrace self-expression? 

Listen in as we explore creative ways to showcase your unique style while staying polished and professional in the salon!
