If you’re a cosmetologist and it’s December, you probably don’t have a lot of down time. Maybe this isn’t the month you set aside to attend continuing education classes, but you’re bound to learn a lot anyway.
The holiday season brings it all together. You have to be familiar with the latest trends for clients who want to party in high style. You must be on top of your technique, because speed and accuracy count when your book is full. And as for business skills, now is the time to take advantage of the many career-building opportunities that come loaded onto the holiday sleigh.
Don’t fall into the trap of being “too busy” to follow through on your goals. Don’t think that just because this is most likely your month of highest earnings, you can’t push it to even higher limits. Just imagine how your bells will jingle if you rebook, get one referral from, and sell a retail product to every client you see between Thanksgiving and New Year’s!
So right now your continuing education comes from the challenge of being in this business during the height of salon bustle. Note your lessons well, because 2008 will test you every day. On behalf of everyone at modernsalonlearning.com, I wish you peace, joy, continued success and the gift of being a lifelong learner.
