Reward and Recognition Exercise
In order for HeadMapping ® to become fully integrated in your salon you must change the culture. One of the key elements of this is recognizing, reinforcing and rewarding the small steps each individual takes toward full implementation of the HeadMapping ® language and architecture, mixing color product to eliminate waste, using the language to schedule appointments, capturing the formula language for each of their guests and so on. Prepare an outline on several ways that you will recognize, reinforce and reward the acceptance, learning and practicing of the HeadMapping ® principles. Remember that small and consistent gestures are more important than monetary recognition. Remember that the research is that a person needs eight (8!) times more positive recognition than negative. Catch someone doing something right! Also remember that everyone in the salon will watch you to see if you are really serious about this or if it could be just a flavor of the month. Think about your actions and words in developing this plan. In preparing this outline remember to stay true to your own style and the culture of your salon. If you typically engage individuals in the thinking process, you may want to incorporate that into this presentation. You will have 10 - 15 minutes to present your outline to the other members of the seminar.

HeadMapping ® Menu Development Exercise
This exercise explores your current pricing and helps you develop an itemized color services menu. Follow the instructions to develop the itemized color services menu. You will then be asked to share your new menu with the group. You will have 10-15 minutes to make the presentation. INSTRUCTIONS: Step One:
Fill in the current price of your Full Panel division ABC (or Full Weave) in the designated space
on the attached chart.
Step Two:
What is your current price for your least expensive partial weave? Write that price in the space
provided under the 1⁄3 panel.
Step Three:
Consider your current prices. Are they the correct levels for your salon and how you want to be
positioned in your current market? If they are, use these two prices to develop the other
HeadMapping ® prices. If not, adjust them appropriately and then use the new prices to develop
the other HeadMapping ® prices.
Step Four:
There are five interim steps in HeadMapping ® pricing. Calculate the difference between the
Full Panel Division ABC price and the 1⁄3 Panel price and then divide this number by 5. This will
give you the approximate difference in each step of the pricing.
Step Five:
Review the overall chart to see if these prices look appropriate for your salon.
Step Six:
If you have more than one level of prices, repeat this process for each level.
At this point your whole chart should be filled in with a general pricing scale based on the current trends in your salon and the amount of surface area of the head you are weaving.

Communication of the Itemized Color Service Menu
As you introduce the itemized color services menu you need an implementation and communication plan. In this exercise you will develop how you will communicate the new prices to the members of the salon and to your guests. What steps will you take to communicate the new prices to your service providers and get their buy in? Will you involve your staff in the development of the new price levels? How will you communicate to your guests? Will you continue some guests at their current prices and transition them to the higher prices over time? Will you make the prices effective at one time? If you decide to fully implement, for all of your guests at the same time, you might consider if you want to notify your guests of the change in prices. If so will you post it in the salon, send a letter, send an email, alert guests when they schedule their appointment or develop a flyer or brochure? Prepare an outline for the presentation to your staff on the new itemized color services menu, the implementation time and the communications plan for your guests. In preparing this outline remember to stay true to your own style and the culture of your salon. If you typically engage individuals in the thinking process, you may want to incorporate that into this presentation. You will have 10 - 15 minutes to present your outline to the other members of the seminar.
