How can our salon find more stylists without putting an ad on a career website or the paper?

you go shopping and ask every woman with matching shoes and handbag where she gets her hair done and then you ask who the tech is when you get the same techs name three times you go over there and ask her out for a drink after work and hire her.


Have the news paper run a contest to name the best hairdressers in your city and then go find them. Go to all the outlying salons and ask the receptionist who the best technician is and take a card and write their names on it and call and ask them out for an interview.How can our salon find more stylists without putting an ad on a career website or the paper?
It all depends on what type of salon are you?





Are you a Great Clips, or are you a high end salon from Tabitha's Salon Makeover?





If you're Great clips then put an ad on Craigslist. If you're looking for high end stylists, then you need to generate a ton of value in your salon.





What's the advantage of working with you? Do they get free booth rent? Do you charge a smaller percentage? Do you work with celebrities? Do you have higher clientele? Why should that successful stylist leave where they are, leave the local clients they have, and bring their book of business to you?





If you can answer the questions above, then you just wrote your own ad.





Good luck!How can our salon find more stylists without putting an ad on a career website or the paper?
Hold a career fair or a ';second grand opening'; between like 6:00-8:00 pm and serve appetizers and wine. Send out a press release to all local papers and magazines so that they'll publish it. Put it on Craigs List too just to get the word out. Send flyers/press releases to the local cosmetology and community colleges so that everyone hears about it! Good luck!
