Last night we had an awesome opportunity to have students, salon owners, and educators all in one house!
Randy Kunkel (co-founder of Summitt Salon Business College) spoke candidly about salon business trends, growing salon teams, and employee/guest retention, among many other topics.
Twelve salons were in attendance; Marc Daniel Salon, Christopher J. Salon, Pazzaz Salon, Inner Sanctum, Snips, Jungle Red, Hair For All Seasons, Hair Expressions, The Look, Artisan Salon, Classic Reflections, and Hair and Body Works.
The night was packed with information for people of all stages in their career. Salon owners left with more insight on hiring the right people, growing service providers, and more effective communication with new talent in their salons.
PCI students were inspired about their future in the beauty industry and made some connections with potential salon employers.
Stef O. a student graduating in 2 days was reflecting on the evening with and educator, and shared the insight that she gained. Some of the things that she shared were that her hope for a bright future in the beauty industry was restored. She also was exicted to hear that salon owners are willing to invest time and money in her future given the opportunity.
From us at PCI Academy, it was so cool to see salon owners show interest in our students, staff, and our school. We are exicted to work together to continue to grow salon professionals in this industry.
Overall it was great night for everybody there!
Thanks Randy and Sharon!
