Strategies' Incubator Day Two on Monday, March 19, 2012. SALON TODAY 200 salon owners returned for another business building day where they were taught how to improve Team Service in their salons and how to implement Team-Based Pay.
At a special reception held at the close of Serious Business in New Orleans, 72 salons accept their SALON TODAY 200 certificates and celebrate the competition's 15th anniversary.
In 2012, the competition that celebrates salon business
success is celebrating its own milestone, as this year
marks the 15th anniversary of the SALON TODAY 200.
Before we look forward at this year’s honorees, we want to
take you back for a look at the competition’s history:
In the 15 years of history of the SALON TODAY 200, the way salon owners share their exciting news has changed rapidly. Look at how they're telling the world now.
The competition that was built on salon growth now stretches beyond it to examine all the best management practices that contribute to salon success. This year’s application includes 11 different competition categories.
Over the past year, the SALON TODAY team has had multiple opportunities to interact face to face with salon owners, including Serious Business, ISSE, America's Beauty Show, the Premiere Orlando Beauty Event, and most recently the Harms Millennium UGC. Each time, we've solicited feedback from owners regarding the big changes we made to the SALON TODAY 200, and we addressed questions from owners about how the can improve their chances. In an effort of fairness, I wanted to share my advice with everyone!
When journalists Euna Lee and Laura Ling were pardoned by the North Korean government and allowed to come home, I immediately turned on the morning news programs. I wanted to see the homecoming, hear the excited voices of their friends and feel the joy in the welcoming embraces from their families. I needed and craved the good news.
