With more than two decades in the pro beauty space, not to mention a master's degree in business, Stef Fox (@stef_fox) has had a long and varied career that allows her to simultaneously have an intimate as well as a bird's eye view of the industry. And for the past few years, the founder of Talent Match (@salonrecruiting) has conducted an annual survey, which, with more than 22,000 responses, is not only the largest that we know of, but also delivers valuable data and insights about employment and what hairdressers are looking for. In this episode, she shares five of her top findings, and she also discusses what they mean for salon owners and the hairdressers who work for them.
