SAHB goes for gold!
SAHB Hair and Beauty Clinic is thrilled to share the news that we have just received our Gold Salon Accreditation with the Australian Hairdressing Council! This is a huge moment for our salon which signifies our commitment to excellence in every business, but particular customer service.ย
If you havenโt heard of the Australian Hairdressing Council before, letโs get you up to speed. The Australian Hairdressing Council sets the standard for salons across the country and holds to account hairdressing professionals. As members of the Australian Hairdressing Council, weโre part of our united front to ensure you, our beloved customers, receive the very best our industry has to offer wherever you go.ย
Part of our involvement is the opportunity to be assessed by the Australian Hairdressing Council and have our business meticulously audited by some of our industryโs greatest icons and yes, we absolutely smashed it! To receive a Gold Salon Accreditation with the Australian Hairdressing Council is the highest achievement a member can reach so itโs safe to say, the entire team at SAHB are so proud of this achievement.ย
Today, we thought weโd run you through the criteria our business had to meet and exceed in order to achieve this Gold Salon Accreditation. Whether you are new to our salon or been with us for many years, exceeding the criterion showcases why time and time again, our clients choose SAHB as their haircare experts.ย
Stylists with the highest level of skills
Just like the criteria of achieving Gold Salon Accreditation, SAHB has standards that our team must meet before joining SAHB! To maintain our reputation as one of Perthโs leading salons, we ensure that weโre welcoming the highest levels of stylist into our salon.ย
As you know, weโre honoured to mentor many emerging stylists with our apprentice programs and to us, this is part of shaping the future of our industry. With the support of Steph and her senior stylists, this next gen of hairdressers can learn from the very best and be equipped with skills and knowledge that they wouldnโt have learnt elsewhere. Thatโs why when our apprentices become fully qualified hairdressers, many think theyโve been in the game for years!ย
We believe that exceptional skills must pair with outstanding passion for the industry and weโre proud that each SAHB team member truly lives to this standard. They stay ahead of the trends, are committed to advancing their skills and are incredibly proud to deliver our signature experience each and every day.ย
A strong commitment to ongoing training, ensuring that stylists excel at the latest styles, colours and cuts
Anyone thatโs been a client of SAHB for a while will know how passionate we are about training and education. Itโs at the forefront is how we ensure our team bring the absolute very best. We regularly engage our suppliers and industry experts to provide hands-on education sessions for our team so that they can grow, evolve and advance as hairdressers. Whenever we welcome a new product or service into the business, our team undergo intense training before launching it to our clients. This ensures that weโre the experts on everything we offer here at SAHB so that all you need to do is sit back, relax and enjoy your experience.ย
Outstanding customer service
An exceptional customer experience is something weโre so incredibly passionate about here in the salon with policies and procedures ensuring you receive flawless service every time. It is also one of the criteria we have to meet and become an accredited salon.ย
The way this was assessed was through a mystery shopper sent to us by the Australian Hairdressing Council. A mystery client was booked in for an appointment at SAHB where throughout their time with us, was assessing their overall experience. From their welcome at the front desk, refreshments provided during their service, the quality of their colour, cut and style, the knowledge of their stylist and expert product recommendations, every stage of their appointment was fastidiously analysed.ย
Following their mystery shop, we were provided a report on the experience with any recommendations and suggestions from the Australian Hairdressing Council of how we can enhance and continue to deliver an outstanding customer experience. We loved receiving this feedback so we can use it as a tool in team training and as a benchmark for all of our clientsโ experience.ย
Sound business practices
In addition to creating a safe, diverse and welcoming workplace for our team, SAHB Founder Stephย also ticked the Australian Hairdressing Councilโs sustainability commitment boxes. With a devotion to bettering the environment around us, SAHB proudly uses products that minimise our carbon footprint. The hero of our sustainability story is De Lorenzo Haircare.ย
We partner with companies like De Lorenzo because not only are they proudly Australian made, owned and operated but theyโre always looking for ways to become even more forward-thinking. They utilise certified organic ingredients in their products that are derived from sustainability farmed product such as plant and vegetable extracts. This means their products are Vegan and sustainable.ย
In addition to being kind to the planet, they support incredible results in the salon with low levels of ammonia. This keeps your hair looking strong, shiny and bold for longer. De Lorenzo is also proudly cruelty free and is packed in recycled materials which we absolutely love.ย
Weโd proud to partner with brands like De Lorenzo that, like our accreditation, meet and exceed our industryโs commitment to environmental sustainability.ย
