The company also provides haircut, hair color, manicure, pedicure, and cleanse and restore facial services for men. This specific day was to evaluate their hair coloring services for women. There a quite a few potential fail points in Gene Juarez’s Service Blue Print: 1. No Parking Spots 2. Front desk 3. Reservation System Down or Appointment not made correctly 4. Wait time and Reception area 5. Bill accuracy 6. Adequate consultation 7. Cut, Color, and Style The parking situation at Gene Juarez is a potential fail point. Because of the location of the Salon being in Redmond Town Center there is a risk for being no parking spots or long waits in the parking lots. The Redmond Town Center is home to approximately 100 stores and a Microsoft location nearby. Parking is tough to find and could potentially lead to late clients or clients getting fed up and leaving altogether. Another potential fail point is the customer service given at the front desk. The Guest Service Representatives at Gene Juarez are the first (and last) people you see in your visit to the Salon. The front desk team is the heart of the business and the soul of customer service. A bad experience at...

...STAGE 1, UMUC HAIRCUTS CASE STUDY Professor Diana Hill University of Maryland, University College I. Introduction Myra Morningstar has been operating her expansive business, UMUC Haircuts, for nearly two decades. The business started as a barbershop, but grew into a full-scale hair salon. Recently, there has been a request for UMUC Haircuts to provide additional services from loyal customers, while businesses that could threaten Myra’s shop have been popping up in the local area. As a Systems Analyst, a look will be taken to determine how Myra can improve her business, improve business processes and allow UMUC Haircuts to maintain a competitive advantage over local rivalries. II. Five Forces Analysis a. Buyer Power i. The power that a customer and buyer has is high because without customers there is no business. It is strong when the customer has many options for services they are looking to receive. When the buyer power is low, the customer doesn’t have many option s and will pay what the current price is for the product. Right now buyer power is medium for UMUC haircuts since there is beginning to be competition in the area. With new competition opening up in the area, this could affect the competitive advantage in buyer’s power for UMUC Haircuts. If not addressed, it can have a negative impact on UMUC Haircuts and should affect Myra’s Cost Leadership strategy. b. Supplier Power ii. This is an extremely important aspect of the...

...are many ways to find a stylist or a creditable salon but I will list only three: research, word of mouth and walk-in. Yeadon Lee, T wrote a paper on how having the right dynamic and people in place managing the salon is a great way of starting to bring in customers. You can start by searching on the internet There are also certain websites you can look up that will help you. If you are an amateur to actually researching for a salon my advice is to start with those websites that tell the business owner how to bring in the customer. This can be a good help to you during your search. You will be able to read the techniques they are giving them to have and make a chart and compare to see if they are actually following their advice. Make sure if there is a website for the salon you go on there and check their ratings and customer comments. This is a great way to know what type of enviroment there is without stepping a foot in the door. Making phone calls is another way of researching check their professionalism just through the phone see if that draws you in. Calling also gives you the opportunity of seeing if the stylist has a portfolio online or in hand that you can view to see their workmanship. By calling you can also find out if you have the possibility of having a licensed cosmetologist or a apprentice doing your hair. Friends are another great research tool you can find out if they know the stylist or have heard of the salon. Word of mouth is a better way to put it, this...

...JCPenney Salon Closure Sitting in the chair that spins in a full circle, with mirrors all around you, wearing a cape that makes you feel like a super hero, you study your hair and wonder what should you do to it? Should you cut it? Color it? Do the same thing; something different? Make it extremely colorful or something natural? These are the questions the stylists at Marquette JCPenney Salon thought they only had to answer that day. Working another busy, talkative, and creative day these intense, hardworking stylists had to answer the question of what do we do next? The place they have worked at for 24 years are closing their doors; leaving them with a million things going on in their mind. Questionings are exploding, words are flying, tears are falling, and hugs are happening. What will we do? Every day you have decisions to make about your life. These women had the same routine of coming to work every day, to the same place, opening the black glass doors and turning into the salon that had god awful red walls and the tacky wood floors that must of came out of the dollar store. They loved what they did, did they love the clients that want to make their hair look like a celebrity even though it wasn’t possible. They joked about leaving this place and doing something different but never did they think they were going to have to act on this. Never thought that day would happen that we actually had to make a decision and do something when they are shutting the door to our life...

...Being Accepted As Diverse At Work Description of Issue: As I have come to realize, even as we are in the 21st century, we live in this multi culture world where we think everyone should be accepted as whom they are but not everyone thinks that way. I have been doing nails, manicurist, for about ten years now, I have many wonderful clients who understand where I came from but then I do get some that think I do not understand a word of English because I am Asian working at a nail salon. Many clients come into the salon and automatically think none of us speak enough English to communicate with us. They think they need to speak louder or slower so we can understand what they are saying. I would get so offended when someone asks me if I spoke English. I would give them a glare and sometimes even pretend I do not speak English so I don’t have to interact with them. For some reason, many clients think we, as a Vietnamese culture, all work in a nail salon because it is our only job we can do without speaking English. I felt they were discriminating us for being Vietnamese. Discrimination as Beebe, Beebe, and Redmond implies, “Unfair or inappropriate treatment of people based on their group membership” (2010, p.91). They would get offended when we start speaking Vietnamese in front of them. Some would tell us it was very unprofessional of us to be speaking a different language when we are working on client. Then there are some who jokes...

...BUS/211 May 2, 2015 Jason Clark The salon owner resides at the head of the organizational chart. While specific day-to-day responsibilities vary based on the individual salon, the owner primarily concerns herself with customer service, human resources and financial details. The salon owner makes hiring, marketing, property, inventory and design decisions, while staying involved in staff licensing and business certification requirements. If the salon owner is a licensed cosmetologist, she also styles hair and executes other beauty processes for which she is appropriately trained. Reporting to the salon owner, a salon manager provides orientation to the salon staff, explaining operational procedures and functions, which are based on company policy. The manager works with staff members to improve performance and ensure quality service while maintaining cleanliness and customer satisfaction. In cooperation with the salon owner, the manager also analyzes personnel records, requisitions supplies, participates in disciplinary procedures and assists in resolving customer complaints. Hairstylists, nail technicians, color specialists, and makeup artists commonly work as peers within a salon, reporting to the manager, though some organizations have senior and junior-level stylists or technicians, based on experience or tenure. Each performs his own specialty service and recommends the services his peers provide, as his customers require. A salon receptionist reports to the salon's manager...

...------------------------------------------------- Beauty salon From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia A beauty salon or beauty parlor (beauty parlour) (or sometimes beauty shop) is an establishment dealing with cosmetic treatments for men and women.[1] Other variations of this type of business include hair salons and spas. There is a distinction between a beauty salon and ahair salon and although many small businesses do offer both sets of treatments; beauty salons provide more generalized services related to skin health, facial aesthetic, foot care, aromatherapy, — even meditation, oxygen therapy, mud baths, and many other services. ------------------------------------------------- Beauty treatments[edit] Massage for the body is a popular beauty treatment, with various techniques offering benefits to the skin (including the application of beauty products) and for increasing mental well-being.
