What Not To Wear

Through feedback from our customers and enquiries we have made within the beauty salon market it is clear that a trend is developing and a standardisation of the type of uniform staff are expected to wear within the workplace of a beauty salon.

One recent enquiry received was from a person who had been offered a position in a beauty salon but as the position was on a temporary basis had not been provided with a uniform. This person had found us through the internet and wanted to know what to wear, "will jeans and a smart top be ok"? she queried.

We did point out that surely her new employer would be able to provide more information on the kind of clothing she would be expected to wear but never the less pointed her towards the Beauty & Salon Uniforms section on our website where she would be able see our full range of salon garments.

This enquiry did however provoke a great deal of debate within our office as to what we would expect to see when visiting a beauty salon. I hasten to add myself and Steve provided only a limited opinion on this point, as beauty salons are not on our list of places most visited. All our female staff however were very much of the opinion that one of the things they look at most of all when visiting a beauty salon for the first time is its cleanliness, as was commented on if you are visiting a place where your aim is to leave looking your best you certainly want to feel clean.

I suppose also from an employers point of view it is also vital to portray the professional image that gives customers confidence in both your business and staff.

JKL Clothing are constantly searching the market to find the latest salon uniform designs, so if you don't find what you are looking for first time around please re visit our website as we are always changing and updating our products.
