SalonLife is all about encouraging good health, more wealth and happiness in the lives of salon pros.  With the New Year upon us we hope that all are considering “fine tuning” your lives to have a bit more of each in the coming year.  To that end, we are thinking about our wish list of “New Year’s Resolutions” for the industry - as it’s hard to make change happen without some specific goals in mind:

• First and foremost, we hope salons will look hard at their income opportunities, see where there is room for growth and take some simple steps to make it happen (i.e. if your retail sales are less than 20 percent of your total sales, you have room to grow!).
• On the health front, we encourage all to schedule a personal check up.  “Prevention” is a key to long term good health - but if you’re like most Americans, you fall short in this regard.
• And when it comes to balance, consider what makes you “crazy” (!!), and take some steps to ratchet back the stress.  Where there’s a will, there’s a way - but it all starts with recognizing the problem.

So, here’s to you and yours from all of us at NCA.  We wish you a life filled with great health, enormous (!) wealth, and happiness!
