What's The Vibe Of Your Tribe?
Hey Beauty Pro,
The vibe of your tribe is the core values, beliefs and behaviors that you and your team follow, all day, everyday!
These values must be aligned and unmistakable, for without them, there simply is no direction, plan or purpose to what you or the salon does or how it operates.
The vibe of your tribe represents the ❤️ of your salon culture!
Does your team have a set of core values in place that supports your salon’s overall mission?
If you answered YES, congratulations!
💡Your team identity and vision are aligned.
💡You have clear and strong values that support your team goals.
💡You have the ability to create and sustain a healthy and thriving culture that can be seen and felt by all.
💡Clients want to come to you because they feel the vibe of your culture.
If you answered NO,
It’s time to make decisions and identify the most important shared values that will ultimately evolve into a guiding roadmap for you and your team.
So where do you begin?
Encourage your team to come together and follow these guidelines.
Step 1 ✅
🔎Identify your salon DNA, or brand image.
How you want to be perceived by your clients?
Be sure you are sending the correct message.
Upscale? Youth oriented? Luxury? Cost conscious?
Step 2 ✅
🔎Define your personal image
Your image represents your personal reflection of your salon brand.
Everything about you communicates who you are and what you stand for.
Your visual attire, posture, voice and words should strike a balance between self-expression and your salon’s image.
Step 3 ✅
🔎Uncover shared values
Start by defining and exploring together which values matter the most to each of you.
Decide on which morals and values you and your team can live by and incorporate into daily salon life.
Narrow it down to 5 core values and keep your focus clear and precise.
Use the agreed upon core values as a springboard to create your team value statement.

Step 4 ✅
🔎Connect each chosen value you’ve identified to the actions and the behaviors that showcase their value
✔️Taking Initiative
Being proactive, taking risks or challenging each other?
✔️Passion
Take pride in what you do.
✔️Growth
Learn and evolve individually and as a team. Have fun
✔️Self-Determination
✔️Responsibility
Do what it takes to achieve a goal
✔️Hope
To feel that something you desire as a team is possible!
✔️Service
To be helpful and useful.
🔎Step 5 ✅
Review and then write your team’s value statement for the world to see and for you to live by.
Remember, words are not enough.
You must live and breathe your core values through your actions, energy and image every single minute, and every hour of every day! ❤️
If you and your team currently have existing values in place,
consider revisiting them if the players have changed to make sure that they are aligned with your current team member goals. Chances are you’ll need to flex and adjust as your team evolves and grows.
Remember, the vibe of your tribe is influenced by the core values you and your team live and breathe!
Core values are the foundation upon which great salons are built and sustained.
Having core values can motivate and ignite the vibe of the tribe.
When everyone is on the same page and adheres to the team values with a repeatable set of practices, you’ll undoubtedly find success in the culture you’ve created.
So, do whatever it takes to honor and uphold your core values and soon you will discover that the vibe of your tribe will attract and retain clients who appreciate and rave about their experience with you!
