Teamwork makes the dream work
Teamwork makes the dream work
I am a cosmo, but I only do mens hair. I have been the Hudson Hawk Barber Shop for over 7 years. I have managed multiples stores and employees during this time. Within 4 years at Hudson Hawk in Springfield MO, I was given the opportunity to open a new location in Prairie Village KS. 2 years after managing that store, I opened our Leawood KS store. Coming with no connections to the KC area, I now have a clientele of approximately 400 clients. In Springfield in 2 years, I had approximately 450. This was my first opportunity to open a shop, manage employees and create my own success while growing the Hudson Hawk name. I’ve also had to maintain a certain attachment rate of product sales to maintain my title of select barber. Our company is only 10 years old. Some of the skills I have gained while being a manager are:
Responsible for business success and store goals
Responsible for employee goals, growth and success
Schedule management/Creating work schedules for barbers
Inventory Control and Purchase Orders
Merchandising, Inventory and Selling
Special Events Promotion
Organization and Leadership Skills
Reporting to Leadership
Customer service and conflict resolution
Employee life cycle (recruitment, hire, terminations, PIP's)
Banking responsibilities/ Cash Handling
Opening and Closing
Cutting Hair
My husband and I are eventually moving back to the quad cities and I am trying to see where I can share my talents.
