To flourish in today’s business world, salon and spas must train staff on customer service skills as stringently as they build technical foundations. We challenged applicants this year to put together a customer service presentation intended for the head concierge of Ritz Carlton who is seeking a first-class operation to refer guests. Extra credit was awarded to salons and spas that proved they have systems in place for monitoring the consistency and quality of each guest’s experience.
