Salon: Rejuvenation Spa, Madison, Wisc. Category: Salon MBA (essay) Website: http://rejuvenationspa.net Bio: Rejuvenation Spa is an Aveda Lifestyle Salon and Spa that opened in December 1998 after taking over an existing spa-only business. Owners Tina Morschauser and Gretchen Brown switched the typical commission pay structure of Rejuvenation Spa to Team Based Pay in October 2000. Since the switch, the salon and spa has instituted open book management operations, as well as monthly coaching with service providers and employee reviews every four months. Rejuvenation Spa has been able to show consistent growth even during the downturn of the economy. We believe part of that success, is that we double shift, double book and supply all of our stylists with the tools (excluding shears) needed to be able to move fluidly from one station to another. We have also instituted the HeadMapping color system founded by Walter Claudio, which helps to eliminate waste of color and creates a systemized team approach to haircolor. The culture created is one in which all team members are aware of all team and individual benchmarks, and what needs to be achieved for continued success. |
