In this episode Sonia and Jody continue to share their expertise and tips on how culture can affect your entire salon business. One the key elements it affects is the talent you attract. This is something we have heard many salons struggle to find. And yes doing job posting does help a little but is it bring in the kind of talent that is going to stand out in your salon.

In this episode Jody and Sonia unveil the three most important elements to creating a culture you love and others love. Culture is the foundation of how your salon operates. Its how your team relates to you, each-other and your customers. This is taken from pillar one of the Salon Blueprint, our self paced comprehensive course of how to open and operate a salon filled with compassion, leadership and growth.

In this episode, Sonia and Jody are introducing you to the inner workings of how to open and operate a successful salon you can be proud of. They have created an in-depth, self-paced course called The Salon Blueprint, and this month they are dedicating the podcast to sharing with you some important elements that have helped them succeed as salon owners.

Christina Ianniello is a blonding specialist, salon owner and K18 educator who motivates and coaches stylists (primarily behind the chair) with their business, hair health and colour transformations. Christina began her career 11 years ago in bridal hair and make up and soon became obsessed with creating beautiful blondes. 

In this episode we talk about the rising pressures of industry expectations for success and the anxiety that it is creating. The key is to stay authentic and become aware of social media pressures and how they affect our mental health.

Christina credits her success to networking with fellow hair professionals who support and elevate her to be the best she can be. K18 has been a key support system in fueling her creative process and she invites other professionals to join the K18 Pro Group on Facebook.

This is an extremely special episode that we don't think you can find anywhere else. We have Bettina Roth, who started hair in June 1954, almost 70 years ago! Bettina's initial passion was in chemistry, but back in the 50s this type of study was discouraged (or as Bettina puts it, her father said NO!) 

Bettina's father was also a hairstylist and forced her into working at his hair salon, and she really hated it. That was until she discovered there was an interesting chemistry that we hairstylists get to work with every day. This is what ignited her passion in the hair world and what has kept her in the industry for 7 whole decades! 

In this episode, Bettina talks to us about her experience through the years and all of the things she discovered and experienced as a hairstylist through the decades. 

Bettina's knowledge is truly inspiring and we're so honoured to have her as a guest on Shop Talk
