AT GARY ROM HAIRDRESSING, WE FOCUS EXTENSIVELY ON EDUCATION AND TRAINING. WE HAVE VARIOUS TRAINING SESSIONS THAT TAKE PLACE IN AND OUT OF OUR SALONS.
Gary Rom Hairdressing is renowned for their visionary approach in the industry. Many successful salon owners have benefitted from Gary’s mentorship and guidance. Many of the Artistic directors in the group have also gone on to open Gary Rom franchises, and have made a success in their own right. Gary has always been willing to share his knowledge and give back to the industry, and would like to extend an invitation to any interested apprentices, stylists, managers or salon owners to spend time with him and his group to further their careers. If you are serious about reaching a level in the industry that few dream of, email Gary for more information. Costs involved for training will be quoted to suit individual needs.
Gary Rom also started a training concept called Technique Professionnelle Salon Systems in 2002, and together with Nico Doman, then general Manager of L’Oreal, Gary started to train salons in the industry on the commercial side of hairdressing. This concept evolved into the XMC program that has been in existence in South Africa for the last nine years. Apprentices that go to college are taught all of the “skills” aspects of the trade, such as cutting methodology, colour techniques, blow drying skills etc, but lack the understanding of how to work on clients in the salon environment. Gary set about developing a range of modules, based on all of the aspects related to the business of hairdressing that the colleges did not teach. These include, time management, retail selling skills, consultation technique, learning to overcome objections, dream colour capes, liquid tool sales etc.
The XMC sessions are designed to uplift every single hairdresser or apprentice who attends these sessions to achieve the best success that they possibly can in their chosen profession. We have had a wide range of speakers at these sessions including psychologists, dieticians, motivational speakers and various product representatives of the brands that we use in the Gary Rom Hairdressing group.
