In this episode Stephen Gomez pushes us to look in the mirror and ask the hard questions. Are you living up to your Values? Are you willing to hustle and put in the work for the result you're looking for? Do you sometimes envy other successful stylists or salons and make excuses for why you're not getting ahead?  In this episode Stephen schools John and Chris on his method of coaching a salon and: The first thing a person should consider before opening a salon How to recruit and what to do once you've hired a new stylist How to know if your values align with your coworkers and what to do about it Connect with Stephen Gomez:  http://stephengomez.net https://www.facebook.com/stephen.j.gomez.92 https://www.instagram.com/saloncoachsjg/ Info@stephengomez.net Say hi to Chris and John on social: Instagram https://www.instagram.com/124.go/ https://www.instagram.com/noindoorvoice/ Facebook https://www.facebook.com/124GO/ If you’re a hairdresser, salon owner, salon manager or hair beauty professional, please subscribe and give us a Wicked Good Review!!

This is a part of a series of interviews where John and Chris share insight and experience on must-have skills of all levels of salon teams.  The harsh truth is, most salons can't grow past a certain point because the team and leaders do not develop skills that are necessary but uncomfortable. So they are never able to communicate and follow through on tuff situations and important conversations. This can lead to frustration on all parts of a team.  In this episode, John Palmieri and Chris Sulimay discuss action steps to hold yourself and your salon team accountable to each other. In turn, this keeps the salon running like a well-oiled machine and gives the salon client the experience they deserve.  Say hi to Chris and John on social: Instagram https://www.instagram.com/124.go/ https://www.instagram.com/chrissulimayhair/ https://www.instagram.com/noindoorvoice/ Facebook https://www.facebook.com/124GO/ If you’re a hairdresser, salon owner, salon manager or hair beauty professional, please subscribe and give us a Wicked Good Review!!
