Editor's Notes
- Introduce topic and slide presentation.
- Discuss.
- Effective Communication A. Verbal communication 1. Power of what you say: Be sure to be knowledgeable about what you say to people. 2. Inflection: Change in pitch or tone of voice 3. Tone: Pleasant tone of voice communicates the idea that you want to express. 4. Grammar: Using the standard grammar will gain respect from your clients. Using slang will turn them off. 5. Conversational manners: Be sensitive, tactful, honest without offending your clients and co-workers. B. Non-verbal communication 1. Gestures: Body language 2. Eye Contact: Looking at the person is acknowledgement that you are listening. Do not roll your eyes. 3. Appearance: Looking professional will get a client’s positive attention. 4. Facial expressions: Worth a thousand words. 5. Body language 1. Negative: Arms crossed, scowl on your face, not smiling. 2. Positive: Arms open, standing tall and confident, and smiling
- Practice verbal skills daily.
- Allow students to brainstorm examples of non-verbal communication. Communication can also be written (letters/flyers/signs) or electronic (email). Discuss the importance of correct grammar and spelling on salon flyers and signage. What does this say to potential clients? Discuss email etiquette.
- 3. Personality qualities A. Attitude: Can affect others around you. Attitudes are learned, positive/negative. They can be changed for the better. B. Manners: Good human relations, kind and considerate.
- Distribute handout It Matters How You Say It! (see All Lessons Attachments tab) and allow students to practice using a different tone of voice and inflection when asking the question, “What do you want me to do?”
- Your personal qualities play an important role in how your non-verbal communication is perceived by your clients.
- 4. Structure of conversation A. Client communication: Direct the conversation. Do not gossip or complain. Do not talk about personal issues, politics or religion. Talk about beauty and fashion. Be a good listener. B. In-salon communication with co-workers: Same as above applies.
- 2. Telephone ethics A. Greeting: The first thing that you say when you pick up the phone. B. Introduction: Your name C. Tone: Pleasant and happy. D. Ask questions: Double check the information being requested by asking questions. Do not make assumptions. E. Listen: Carefully to what the client is saying. Discuss the script you want used when answering the cosmetology classroom telephone. Have each student develop a basic script for a salon, record on their phone and play it back for the class to evaluate.
