I was lucky enough to spend an afternoon with Hazan, the celebrity colorist who has worked her magic on women like Beyoncé and Jennifer Lopez (casual). With summer quickly approaching, however, I decided it was high time to try something new on my now-virgin hair.Įnter: Rita Hazan. I’ve dabbled with highlights twice, but never kept up with it. Even trying a new face wash can feel like a big commitment to me, which is why it is unsurprising I never do much with my hair.Īside from a brief period in high school where I experimented with pink hair (shout out to my BFF Jenn who spent an afternoon playing with Manic Panic dyes with me), my hair has always been the same, somewhat long and brown with no definitive cut nor dimension. I like to keep my mornings short and easy, and I’m hesitant to buy new products. It is great to be part of a transformation in clients externally and internally.I don’t take a lot of risks when it comes to my beauty routine. Most enjoyable part of my job is styling hair. Hardest part of the job is mentioning a balance with the new floor management guidelines and trying to best assist the head stylist. My co-workers are fun and helpful but often overwhelmed. Rules and regulations are constantly changing because management is still trying to figure out a regiment that complies with NYS guidelines. The salon is going under changes and trying to comply with New York state laws and requirements in regards to their employees. Salon is undergoing different management meaning there has been new management since I started and new rules set for the salon.

How to process Brazilian keratin treatments as well as Japanese treatments. I learned how to address and work with high profile clientele. Cleaning and packing away head stylist station and prepping the salon for the next day of work. Shampooing clients, prepping clients for all services. Assisting head stylist with clients and customer servicing clients as well. Productive work place, ocasionally busy, high profile clientel, sensative atmosphere Typical work day consist of setting up head stylist station, stocking bar, towels and products. Everything else was literally the worst salon experience I've ever had, included witnessing the dated color techniques of the colorists. The floor managers were nice, and that was the only decent part. No, your salon working environment is terrible, and it's not setup to help new assistants learn or thrive. They have a mentality that "if you can make it there, you can make it anywhere". Once I got there, I was appalled at the lack of skill from the colorists, the lack of education, and the way the assistants were being used in the hopes of one day working in the salon. I was excited to try Rita Hazan and "learn from the best".
Rita's current assistant has been with her for 6 years! Hello, people, you are being taken advantage of.
At Rita Hazan, their assistants are treated like the housekeepers to the head colorists, and kept in "training" for minimum 5 years. A salon that is truly supportive of their team will teach their assistants while on the job, and promote them on the floor once they are ready. The worst salon experience I've ever had Modern salon assistants are not glorified housekeepers and should not be kept in training for more than three years.
