This month’s team member spotlight is on Shayna! I have wanted to start monthly spotlight posts for a while now, and being that Shayna is celebrating her 1 year salon anniversary(and I finally got it together) , we felt it fitting to feature her! Thank you Shayna for really moving yourself to that next level as a new stylist at Royale!
Congratulations Shayna!
Shayna is in her final stages of her Skillset 1 Advanced Training at Royale. She has taken classes and pushed herself to excellence in areas like foil highlighting, precision cutting, razor cuts and advanced color formulations. She is currently finishing up her balayage training and seeking models. Call the salon at (812)360-1860 for details on our upcoming New Talent offerings!
3 Questions we asked Shayna:
Q1. What have been your biggest challenges to overcome since starting your career behind the chair?
Answer: Building onto my base of knowledge, and in the process gaining confidence. A part of that confidence is learning to take charge as a stylist and really communicate what I am seeing with the client's hair.
Also really pushing myself to learn highlighting has been a BIG hurdle to overcome. I wasn't getting the results that I wanted and my mentor Syd helped me build a strong foundation.
Oooooh, formulations. I am really proud of all of the knowledge I have attained in the past year with this!
Q2. If you could hang out with any celebrity, who would it be and why?
Answer: Jim Carrey. I have loved him since I was a kid. I would love to sit and talk with him about all kinds of stuff. I wanna know about his life struggles and successes but also about life in general, spirituality, his views on things. His humor amazes me and he also has this ability to occasionally do more serious roles and I am hooked on all of them. I especially like movies where we see him sad or depressed, I feel like I can feel his sadness projecting off the screen and I find that to be a great thing about an actor or actress. Especially when they can make you laugh as well like he can. In general I find him to be an interesting person and I think that we have similar interests and views!
Q3. If you could give a new stylist any advice for coming into a professional salon, what wuld that advice be?
Spend quality time building those interpersonal relationships both with clients and with your team members. Relationships are so, so important for growing as a stylist and as a supportive team member.
Soak up all of the education that you can and be open to jump into whatever area of work that you need to perfect. These first few years are your foundational years and just be open to learning!
