The hair salon and the ‘WHY’
So important to all that we do the choice and
decisions we make

2. +
The salon. The stylist. The client.
n Is this the correct order of importance? Should it be. The
client. The salon the stylist? You decide!
n Why should we consider this order if we change it what
changes with it ?
n Why do I ask this ? Well for as much I think for us to be
successful we have to know what our values are. I also think
that considering the Why ? Is key to making the right business
or indeed career decisions.
n The Why is behind motive it's behind choice. It's in the
question we raise wanting to find the answer to. Why is one
location better than another. Why would I open 7 days a week.

‘Why’ The core foundation question
n The Why is at the core the very foundation for the questions
we ask of both ourselves but also others. This ultimately leads
us to the decisions and choices that we make and have to live
with.
n Part of my Why might be the question. Why did I get
involved with the Salon success club?
n My thought process would answer because i believe in
personal growth and challenges.
n I believe in seeking out help and advice .I believe in staying
professional updated and current.
n I believe what they offer can could and will make a
difference to any one within the hair and beauty industry.

‘Why’ Then the ‘How question’
n As importantly the Why is at the centre of how we question
others about their choices and decisions especially if they
have an impact on us !
n Again we pose the question await and answer. We have to
accept some times that we might be wrong we certainly
should admit if we don’t know or understand something, for it
then opens the door for the next question.
n That being I don't understand could you explain Why! The
web link was shared with me but i found it really interesting.
n We all have to allow for the fact that we should never stop
learning it is very important to realise that there is always
more to learn.

There will always be another WHY
n There will always be another Why? It doesn’t matter if you
look at someone and think they’re the bee’s knees, those
knees may well still tremble from time to time.
n That platform artist that's on stage or that educator speaking
at the seminar.
n In a recent discussion a question was raised Why? Do efforts
to make change often fail.
n This of course can apply to everything or anything but from a
salon perspective I would have say lack of salon consensus,
commitment, team work and collaboration.
n See the past PDF Series the three ‘Rs’. Challenges vision
goals.Collaboration.

Why how what’s it for?
n what do we need to do? Here are some simple questions to
ask ourselves
n What is the outcome I/we want to achieve? (vision)
n Why should I/we do it? (purpose and values)
n How should I/we go about achieving it? (implementation
plan)
n Change only happens when we take action . Thinking about
the Why is is the foundation stone to implement positive
change.
n I am fully aware that this is not a normal hairdressing topic
my goal is alway’s to push buttons maybe stimulate thought
and discussion maybe to raise the Why!
