How Zoltan trained a team

The Compton Standard

Every salon says it trains its people. I wrote it down. The Compton Standard was the manual every trainee got on day one.

The trainee induction manual, 2005 · from the Compton trainee induction manual

Welcome to Compton […] Please go out there and blow customers mind.

The Compton Standard, reviewed 2009 · from the Compton Standard (team manual, reviewed 2009)

To bring happy moments trough beauty

Every company must have a purpose for existence, not only everyday work purpose to earn profit but beyond that a desire to be better. […] Teaching is a major part of our commitment and love of hair.

The Compton values

  • Understanding the individual
  • Attending to the little things
  • Keeping commitments
  • Clarifying expectations
  • Showing personal integrity
  • When we make a mistake, we apologise

The 5 questions

Asked of every client, every visit · from the Compton Standard (team manual, reviewed 2009)

‘Are we maintaining the look you have now?’

‘How do you feel about the condition of your scalp?’

‘How do you feel about the condition of your hair?’

‘Do you face any problems styling your hair at home?’

‘How do you feel about your hair colour?’
