Top 200 Salon with Salon Today!

THIRTY HAIR NAMED TO THE SALON TODAY 200 BY SALON TODAY MAGAZINE

BUFFALO GROVE, IL (January 2018) – Thirty Hair in Columbia, MD owned and managed by Dustin Mariman and Sarah McGee recently was named to the SALON TODAY 200 by SALON TODAY, the leading business media for salon and spa owners.

The magazine’s 21st annual SALON TODAY 200 issue profiled the selected salons in its January/February 2018 edition. The 200 salons were honored for their best business practices from applications submitted by SALON TODAY readers, who represent the 20,000 top-producing salons and spas in the country.

The magazine honored applicants in 11 different best practice categories, including, Compensation & Benefits, Customer Service, Employee Education, Inventory Management, Philanthropy, Profit Center, Retail & Merchandising, Retention & Referral Programs, Salon Culture, Technology and Growth. Thirty Hair was honored in the Staff Compensation and Benefits.

Thirty Hair is fortunate to be a leading employer in their industry for Howard County Salons. On average, our staff members are paid 57% higher than local salons and are paid 61% higher than the national average. Benefits include up to 3 weeks paid vacation, maternity leave, short-term disability, long-term disability and life insurance completely funded by employer. Employees are also provided 100% tuition reimbursement for educational events. As a team, they are also eligible for up to 15% of their salary in bonuses throughout the year.

“Our editors recognize that strong business leadership requires the mastery of a number of different best business practices,” said Stacey Soble, editor-in-chief of SALON TODAY. “The salons named to the SALON TODAY 200 for 2018 not only proved they excel in one or more of these areas, they also have created rewarding environments for their staff members and standout experiences for their clients. Their willingness to share their success offers our readers important business benchmarks and inspirational business-building ideas.” 

For a salon to be named to the SALON TODAY 200, it had to meet the following criteria: 1) The salon or spa opened on or before January 1, 2015. 2) The salon is a provider of professional salon services including one, or more, of the following: hair care, nail care, skin care, body care or spa treatments; 3) The salon or spa generated annual service and product sales revenues of at least $250,000 per year since 2015; 4) The owner provided statistical information about his or her business and completed at least one of the Best Practice category essay sections; and 5) The applicant submitted documentation to verify financials if he or she competed in the growth category.

In the commemorative January/February 2018 issue, SALON TODAY profiled 200 individual salons, although these salons could be honored in more than one category. The 2018 SALON TODAY 200 honored 100 salons in Growth; 34 salons in Compensation & Benefits; 40 salons in Customer Service; 26 salons in Employee Education; 30 salons in Inventory Management; 30 salons in Philanthropy; 16 salons in Profit Center; 37 salons Retail & Merchandising; 31 salons in Retention & Referral Programs; 45 salons in Salon Culture; and 34 salons in Technology.

Aveda Gift Sets: Care, Wrapped

The holidays are just around the corner, which means you’re probably making a list and checking it twice. But what if you could check names off your list and make a difference—all while getting your holiday hair done?

When you give Aveda gift sets, you’re giving more than just the gift of great hair or skin. Here’s what else you’re giving with each:

Protecting Wildlife, the Planet & Empowering Women
Aveda is a cruelty-free company, so it doesn’t animal test—ever. Plus, their products are naturally derived using ingredients from plants, non-petroleum minerals or water, which is better for you and the environment. Aveda products are even packaged using recycled materials, and manufactured with 100% wind energy.

Each gift set is wrapped with care—in a gorgeous green holiday paper—that has been handcrafted by employees in Nepal. Because of your purchase, 4,900 women earn an income making those Certified Wildlife-Friendly gift boxes that help protect 34,000 acres of forest, and preserve the homes of 21 endangered species.

There’s a set for everyone on your list.
Gift your best friend The Gift of Great Style ($60) so her hair is always ready for whatever is thrown her way. (Trust us—she’ll thank you.) For the teacher who never puts herself first, give Make Her Smile ($19.50). And for that friend who you know will pop up in a last-minute moment of gratitude, grab an extra Gift of Comfort ($49).
