Professionalize for Perfection 

By Celebrity Stylist & Beauty Expert, Gina Rivera


I have said this many times because I am a firm believer that professional workplace behavior is necessary for the long-term success of any business. 


It is important whether it is a big international corporation or a small sole proprietor salon. Interactions and relationships with colleagues, vendors, and others are vital to ensure that positive objectives are met. A professional work-place attitude and appearance allow us to set the stage for achievement.

Lifestyle professionals who behave professionally set an example by conducting themselves in a manner that supports meeting and exceeding a professional environment.

Why Is Important To Act And Be Professional

Another important factor is to establish boundaries for appropriate salon behavior. Strong boundaries help us to avoid conflicts and misunderstandings. Steer clear of crossing the line with conversations and avoid getting involved in drama. Clearly communicate fees and stand behind your work.

It is important to understand that your business environment sets the tone for your business. Your business environment would be how employees dress, the use good language, cleanliness, and having proper business tools in place all play a role. All of these items involve being prepared and be professional. Do this for yourself as well as your clients.

Professionalism also counts when providing written information to clients, recommending products, processing payments, scheduling appointments, taking calls, and putting systems in place that will make it easier for our clients to work with us. How you approach each of these areas will make a statement about your business.
