Symbols, gestures or behaviors used to transmit information are considered:
|
communication
Communication ensures that you understand the needs, wants, and desires of those around you. |
You engage in all the following processes when you communicate except:
|
meditation
Meditation is an internal process, not a form of communication. |
When communicating with your client, an important first step is:
|
clarification
Making clear the client's real meaning will save misunderstanding as you go forward. |
When you repeat back to the client in your own words what you think she is telling you, that is:
|
reflective listening
This will help determine if you are both on the same page. |
At the beginning of each appointment, set aside time for a:
|
client consultation
This is the most important communication you will have with your client. |
Be prepared with certain items for the client consultation, such as:
|
styling books
Have a variety of books available, including one for each length of hair. |
Having a taste for elegant, sophisticated clothing indicates:
|
a classic style
A simple, elegant, and sophisticated hairstyle complements this style. |
An appropriate style for a client with young children who is not working outside the home is:
|
a low-maintenance style
An attractive hairdo that is easy to style and care for is most appropriate for this type of client. |
It is useful to keep thorough, accurate consultation cards because it helps:
|
build good client relationships
Having an accurate record of all services and client preferences allows you to service your clients better. |
For a first appointment, it's important to:
|
allow extra time for a consultation
Schedule the appointment 20 or 30 minutes earlier to allow for consultation time. |
A consultation area should ideally be set up in a special area and equipped with:
|
hair color swatches
Some of the other items you might include are style books and a mannequin. |
For a client who does her own color services at home:
|
ask how often and with what products she colors
The answers to these questions will help you assess the condition of her hair. |
During the consultation, one of your most important aids is:
|
a mirror
Use this to look at the client's hair with her. |
The information gathered during the consultation can be maintained by:
|
recording it on a consultation card
Record what you learn during the consultation as well as what you do during the service. |
Your success is based on all the following personal skills except:
|
always having the right answer
It is better to decide on the appropriate style or solution in conjunction with your client. |
