________________________________________ How do you differentiate your spa and salon from others? We have been in the industry for many years. With the customer service we offer, the education we provide our staff, and the aesthetics of our salon we are fortunate to be leaders with in our industry. Given all the options people have, why should they come to Anthony’s? We have the most experienced and highly trained staff with amazing customer service in an environment that’s quite pleasant. We offer mas-sages, facials, body wraps, manicures, pedicures, waxing and are a full service hair salon. It’s nice for our clients to be able to have a variety of things done in one place. That gives us an advantage over other places. Do you offer gift certificates for the holidays? Oh, yes; gift certificates are available in any amount. We do a lot of full days of beauty where you may come and spend the day, get a massage, facial, manicure, pedicure, shampoo, blow dry and a light catered lunch. There are smaller packages; where clients may sample a some of our most popular services. We sell a lot of the Pick 2; you can get a 50-minute massage and facial, massage and manicure/ pedicure, or facial and manicure/pedicure. That package is $130 and is our No. 1 seller. 8 • FOLIOWEEKLY.com • SEPTEMBER 2016
Training your staff is a high priority? Yes, We believe that education is a key factor and essential for our success. How do you choose your staff? We typically hire the most promising students from our local schools and we further train them in-house. We look for motivated individuals with exceptional people skills and good work ethic. And you can personally ensure they’re top notch? Yes They work with me or one of our senior stylists at least 9 months to a year before we let them work on the floor. Over the years we have found that this system produces some of the finest hair stylists in our city. Do you require the staff to keep up their education? We bring in experts to work with our people at least once a month. At the start of each year, I meet with our product line reps and we plan a year of education that we think would be most beneficial to our staff. We’re sending one of our people to New York for training in some very advanced hair coloring techniques which will be passed on to other members of our team. Is it hard to get an appointment at Anthony’s? We have a large enough staff, so we are able to accommodate clients in a timely manner. How did your salon get to be so gorgeous? I’ve frequently employed excellent architects to design my salons. We’ve had some very forwardlooking places. I’ve always had a high standard for the aesthetics. That’s the business we’re in.
