EP216: “We Don’t Do Saturdays” with David and Nicole Barnett of HPS

44 minutes

Attracting staff is the No.1 problem for our hair industry. So what todays guests, David and Nicole Barnett of the High Performance Stylist, are suggesting that not working Saturdays could really help fix a part of this big problem. This is why they are championing “We Don’t Do Saturdays”. It’s for salon owners that want to shout from the rooftops,”OUR TEAM COMES FIRST!” Now let’s be be really clear about something. David and Nicole say closing your salon on Saturdays is MUCH, MUCH, MORE than just a schedule change! “We Don’t Do Saturdays” is a CAUSE! And with such a proposed game changing cause for the hair industry, my natural curiosity to this massive statement meant I had to delve deeper with them both on it. Will you agree or disagree with what they are proposing?

In this episode we get to hear why David and Nicole believes if your salon business adopts “We Don’t Do Saturdays” it says that if people work for you, that your salon business cares about creating a balance between all of your salon life and personal life. That you can all work the perfect schedule and still have an incredible career. It says that you are a forward thinking company that understands and listens to the wants and needs of your team!

BUT, there is a strategy that must be followed if your salon business wants this change to be a raving success and attract new team members and new guests due to the CAUSE you may now stand for! Something that they will be sharing in this episode. It’s radical and who knows, after listening in you too might just be saying; “We Don’t Do Saturdays”.
