Congratulations on a wonderful result with the Mystery Client report. It is very clear the standard of the salon, the salon functions, the team spirit and the level of customer service is very high. Well done as l do realise there is a lot of time and energy spent in running at this level.
The overall approach is very holistic and it is a real stand out. The level of service and attention to detail is very much noted and is rewarded with an excellent report.
Well done to the entire team at Urban Escape! The result is fantastic and one l believed should be celebrated and enjoyed by the entire team!!!!
My recommendations is to keep on with what you are doing and continue training in your systems and customer services approaches as they are working so well! The technical side of the business is also strong so keep on with what you are all doing!
The salon has achieved great results, from the Mystery Client Report. With the combination of the on – line assessment and these results l am very happy to recommend the salon as a Silver Salon Select member. I would strongly recommend you start the GOLD checklist.
