Celebrate & Inspire: Effective Staff Meetings
Carrie Rutt, Salon Coach
Salon owners ask me, all the time, how do I get my team to SHOW UP for staff meetings?
How do I get them to engage?
Staff meetings have many benefits including boosting your salon culture, getting everyone on the same page as well as an opportunity to have everyone in the same room in a POSITIVE atmosphere. Here’s how to get the most out of that time together! Here are my top 5 tips:
- #1 Schedule in Advance
- Schedule meetings a year in advance and make sure your team has all of the dates written down. This advanced notice will increase the likelihood that they will be able to show up. It will also show how seriously you take staff meetings. When you can show how important it is to you, they will believe it is important as well.
I recommend having a staff meeting EVERY MONTH!
- #2 Best Evers!
I like to start the meetings out by asking the team to share their “best evers” from the month.
Service Providers are very proud when they are able to reach their goals and see growth, so you will definitely have people who will want to share.

Cultivating a Culture of Love and Success in Your Salon
Running a successful salon is not just about offering incredible services for your guests or making the most profits; it's also about fostering a positive and thriving work environment.

In this blog post, we'll explore various strategies to celebrate wins, prioritize education, and build a supportive community within your salon.
Celebrate Wins, Big and Small:
- Acknowledge Achievements: Whether it's a stylist mastering a new technique or the salon reaching a sales milestone, take the time to acknowledge and celebrate these accomplishments.
- Employee of the Month: Establish an Employee of the Month program to recognize outstanding performance. Offer incentives such as a featured profile on social media or a special parking spot.
Create a Positive Work Environment:
- Open Communication: Foster a culture where team members feel comfortable sharing their ideas and concerns. Hold regular team meetings to encourage open communication.
- Team-Building Activities: Plan team-building activities to strengthen the bonds among your staff. This could be anything from a monthly lunch outing to team-building workshops.
