WHY HAVE A LEVEL SYSTEM
The stylist / guest relationship is one that is both intimately personal and unique. At LG Howard & Company we have an “Open Chair” Policy. What that means, is that we want to help you find just the right fit, and sometimes that takes a couple of “dates.” Each guest is a guest of LG Howard & Company not of any one specific stylist. So if you have your hair done, love the salon, but aren't feeling that connection with your stylist, we want you to feel free to sit in another chair and find the stylist of your dreams!
ASSISTANT
Salon assistants are recent or future graduates who are in training to be a stylist with LG Howard & Company. During this training, they may perform rituals of renewal and blow dry’s on salon guests as a part of learning about the culture of the salon. Training includes product knowledge, importance of rituals of renewal, technical ability on both mannequins and models, as well as other skills to ensure the success of the stylist and satisfaction of the guest.
