KEY TAKEAWAYS:

• Rising Stylists are not intimidated by the business conversation.
• Compared to previous generations, the vast majority of hairdressers did not want to talk about business because they didn't want to take away from the craft or the art.
• Schools are now having students build their social presence during the foundations/fundamentals portion of their education.
• Rising Stylists, while students in school, vet the salons they want to work at before ever inquiring to work there.
• Rising stylists bring opportunities for salon owners, but they must manage the fact that their older stylists may not be able to grasp new ideas for building and branding.
• Rising Stylists want the flexibility to build their books however they want.
• SALON OWNERS: You can look at the new generation as a dilemma or an opportunity. Will you adapt and see the value? Or will you complain and see the problems?
