As the branch manager of a medium sized paper producing company, I feel I have the pulse of how an organization this size operates. Let me just start by saying that personal grooming is very important. How can you expect to sell anything if you don't look like you care to sell anything. I could tell from the minute I walked in to this establishment I was in for the treat of my life. I was greeted warmly. I was offered a hot beverage. Then it happened. As I was about to indulge in my 4th pack of complimentary peanuts, she walked up and introduced herself. The stunningly beautiful stylist who was to give me the haircut that would change my life. As we left the reception area I was taken into the styling area which was decorated impeccably with pictures that looked like they had been ripped out of Elle or Cosmo or Oprah. (I later found out they were actually clients of the salon.) My hair was shampooed and conditioned and a mini scalp massage was thrown in to make the experience all the more relaxing. My stylist was very interested in my opinion of what I wanted, but still let me know what she thought would be the best cut for my face and head shape. I excused myself to use the bathroom and have never seen a more sanitary facility in my life. Spacious and personal is what I like in a bathroom. When I returned, my stylist was very precise and professional as she went to work on my unkempt locks. I was surprised to find out that she was more interested in hearing about me than she was in telling me about her. Even when I told her about the booze cruise I took my branch employees on in an attempt to boost office morale. As we finished and proceeded to the checkout desk, she confidently asked me to rebook which told me that she greatly enjoyed my company and was looking forward to seeing me again. I paid my bill and as I left, I could not help but feeling that we may have started what could be a long and beautiful friendship. Thank you, Robert's Salon.
