There are many salons in Massillon, Cuyahoga Falls, and throughout the Northeast Ohio region that employee highly educated stylists. However, Scott Talbot Salonspa –with locations in Canton, Ohio and Akron, Ohio—goes above and beyond to provide their beauty technicians with the additional education they need after leaving beauty school to become a professional stylist. One way in which they do this is with their apprenticeship program. Through this six to nine month program, stylists that have very little experience in the industry or are just out of beauty school are given additional training that has them working with educators and taking courses to become more educated in the business before they are put on the floor. Those who have experience are enrolled in a short two week program to acclimate to Scott Talbot Salonspa’s environment.
It is this apprenticeship program—as well as the other continuing education and advanced education training they offer– that helps set Scott Talbot Salonspa apart from other salons throughout the region. In fact, Scott Talbot Salonspa was listed as one of the top 200 salons in the country with advanced education in Salon Today Magazine in 2012. However, this devotion to providing their professional stylists with continued education isn’t something new. Instead, it is something that has been carried on over the years, going back to Gary’s Place salons and the Gerber Beauty School. Best of all, this continuing education has become a staple of Scott Talbot Salonspa in Akron and Canton, making them a highly recommended location by beauty schools across Northeast Ohio.
After all, Scott Talbot Salonspa normally offers 25 to 35 hours of continued education to their staff. Already, they anticipate 35 hours of continued education to be performed by the end of this year and have many educational programs scheduled for next year. Even though the State Board of Ohio only requires 4 hours of continued education a year from salon staff, Scott Talbot Salonspa exceeds this to ensure their professional stylists are properly trained in current salon services as well as the latest trends and techniques. This includes new nail techniques, skin care protocol, color correction, special occasion cutting and styling, and much more. Scott Talbot Salonspa even offers a few business classes to their professional stylists that help them learn how to better build and have a steady income they can rely on. They also offer barber skill classes with various professional barbers, Bio Elements skin care classes, and more for their stylists to participate in to become further educated in the salon services they offer.
Unlike some salons that have their employees spend a fortune to travel miles away to obtain this additional education, Scott Talbot Salonspa brings top educators like those from Mirabella to their location in Canton. In doing so, their staff doesn’t have to leave the work site to learn new nail techniques, makeup and skin care trends, hair coloring techniques, and much more. They even offer additional classes by Redken, Pureology, and more for some of their staff to become more advanced in an assortment of salon services and to better assist their fellow staff members. In doing so, Scott Talbot Salonspa is able to provide high-quality services to their customers from Akron, Cuyahoga Falls, Massillon, and beyond have come to expect over the years.
