The way hairdressing education is delivered has changed dramatically since I started in this industry, and it will continue to evolve as new technology emerges.
In this episode, I talk about those changes and the impact it has on salons, trainees, standards and productivity. And I ask the question I think salon owners are wondering: “What does the future of education look like and how will it impact the way I run my business?
I explain why information has become cheap while experience has become more valuable than ever, and why that changes what you should actually be looking for in education. I also share seven practical lessons on building a culture of learning, why you need to be training apprentices who contribute quickly, and staying ahead as the industry keeps moving.
WHAT YOU'LL LEARN:
- Why information has become cheap while real experience has never been more valuable
- The real reason AI won't replace great educators, and how it exposes the poor ones
- Why your apprentices should be productive within six months, not left to find their feet for years
- The difference between being a great hairdresser and being a great teacher
- Why you can't rely on colleges or government training programs to finish the job for you
- Seven practical lessons on education every salon owner needs to hear
