Have you ever been to the grocery store and heard a voice coming from behind saying, “I love your hair. It looks amazing! Where do you get it done?” I have and—lucky me—I get to brag on my own team of professionals. Communication is the key to making the experience that starts in the salon chair a successful one. Good communication helps to develop a lasting relationship with your stylist that will outlive the “Jennifer” and the desire to become a blonde at 50.
As an owner of a successful hair salon, I feel that to be a great communicator, one has to understand and effectively practice both ends of the communication process—listening and speaking. Good communicators take total responsibility for hearing and processing information, as well as confidently providing insight and displaying appropriate nonverbal cues throughout the interaction with a client. This is true for my profession and most others.

Lava Hair Studio has returned home to Dawsonville after an inspiring and busy month. Along with Lava’s ongoing weekly in-salon education, monthly out-of-salon education, and AVEDA advanced classes, we found time to experience even more. March 1-3, Lava was in Chicago for the Midwest Beauty Show, the largest in America. The show was full of amazing artists with inspirational techniques—international talent such as Nick Arrojo from TLC’s What Not To Wear; Angus Mitchell (son of the co-founder of Paul Mitchell Systems); and the man bringing fashion back to the hair design industry, Robert Cromeans. The show held over 2,000 distributors and double that number of hair designers. From the Runway in Chicago, the spring trends consist of warm, rich colors of fall still apparent in golden blondes and chocolate brunettes. Hair design involves “luxurious texture” or texture with added softness around the face to create a fresh look. Contrary to popular belief, fashion and function do not need to stand alone. Their union can be classic, seamless, and never boring.

Who can resist the draw of the North Georgia mountains? Certainly not Karen Covington, whose goal is to raise her son Lucas in a place where he could have a sense of community. With the explosive business growth in Dawsonville, she felt that an Aveda salon would be in high demand. Karen believes that the products, education, and professional standards of Aveda, combined with their passion and experience, is a winning formula for an upscale salon. With a focus on developing herself and her staff, she created Lava Hair Studio as a source of the highest quality service in a spa-like environment. As a long-time customer, I can testify to a relaxing, rejuvenating experience that I look forward to with each visit.
