Automation is coming to the beauty industry. I remember laughing with people — remarking that robots could not replace salon pros… that little joke is no longer funny.
Fact: many new professionals have learned chiefly on manniquins. . So, since mannequins have no opinion, they do not complain about a lack luster, lousy shampoo service or a bad experience at the sink. Sadly, I see a few ‘new’ salon pros who simply do not know how to wash hair… and I believe that some do not even care!
Note that Takara Belmont is actively creating a salon spa machine that washes hair without human involvement. Target is researching ‘no manicurist needed’ manicure machines which might be in their stores in the not too distant future…
I am fortunate to have very expert friends who work in our industry. They share with me. So, I’m able to obtain information .. even when I’d prefer not to! .
The ‘magic’ in salon service is YOU… Be great at what you do! Make your clients’ time with you comfortable, happy and an oasis away from their every day, hectic life., long live the professional salon industry! Let’s comment here. What can we do to help keep the salon business alive? B
