It also called upon the need to have a uniformed and umbrella beauty and hair institute as a necessity now. Talking about staff education, Hariharan said, “There is a desperate need to have a counsellor in salons. Be it a therapist or hairstylist, an owner should know what is there in his/her staffs’ mind. A worried and confused staff cannot give his/her best services to the clients.” Further discussing about how to solve staff retention problem, the panel reached the conclusion that there is a need to raise the status of hairstylists and beauticians. Answering audience’s questions on salon and spa owners’ role in providing the right platform to his/her staff, Hariharan said that one can only provide the platform but being famous is a personal responsibility.
