Salongenius LogoSalongenius CCTV system is proving a huge hit with Irish salons. The purpose-built video capture box captures digital video from as many cameras as are installed in the salon and stores it for up to 30 days. The live and captured video can be viewed from your home or office over your broadband connection. Stored images can be printed and saved at any stage. The system also allows till receipts from Salongenius to be superimposed on a digital video image of the point of sale area. Software supplied with the system allows you to search the bill by client name, staff name, date, time and even service performed and view the associated piece of video.

Employing staff is a very important task, in fact as a salon owner or manager, it is probably your most important decision – to have the right staff to suit your salon’s needs is essential.

To recruit and select the most suitable staff for your salon, including a detailed practical skills test within the interview process is a must.

During our practical skills service, the main skills identified are:
Correct communication skills to meet the client’s wants and needs.
That communication involves a two-way conversation.
The therapist uses initiative and interacts well with the client.
Practical skills are current and technical skills are accurate.
The client is given professional and home-care advice.
The assessment and all practical skills are done to the time frame.
The candidate is working according to Health & Safety standards, and kept work areas clean and organised.

We will test each therapist thoroughly, forwarding you an in-depth scored and written report on each candidate. For more information on our service contact Liz McKeon 0868179421.
