WHO WE ARE
AND WHAT WE STAND FOR
Waters Edge Salon is dedicated to providing each individual guest with incredible, outstanding, and extraordinary Service—conducted under the Highest Standards of Business Ethics. Our Guests are our KEY to Success. Therefore, creating Excellent Value for Guests is the KEY to both our SUCCESS and SURVIVAL.
Each Member of our Team supplies a vital link in our Guest Service Chain and—as a Team—becomes our source of competitive advantage. Both Individual Potential and Teamwork must be developed to accomplish our Common Mission. The Philosophy outlines our Company Beliefs and our Guide to Serving our guests and one another.
WE believe it is a privilege to Service our Guests, and that each guest deserves a Value-Added Experience each time they enter Waters Edge Salon.
WE choose to adopt a Philosophy for Management and Operation that involves a commitment to the habit of going above & beyond. We believe this is a Life Choice that benefits—both directly and indirectly—the Individual to whom Service is rendered AND the Individual supplying the Service. We continue to believe that this results in Personal Growth through self-reliance, greater initiative, and a sharper focus on our Shared Vision.
WE believe everyone will act in accordance with the Highest Standards of Personal and Professional Conduct.
WE believe in a Team Management System that focuses on Knowledge gained through shared experience.
WE believe in recognizing and respecting the ability, potential, and dignity of each Individual.
WE believe at Waters Edge Salon that we are Partners with other Team Members—and our objective is to meet each Partner’s individual needs by building a strong Motivational Framework.
WE believe in having a Trusting and Cooperative Environment where Two-Way Communications are FREE and open.
WE believe in outlining Clear Goals and a Process by which to achieve them. We believe in establishing a Rewards System for Goals successfully achieved and—conversely—we agree to weather the consequences and redefine our Goals should we falter.
WE choose to see every obstacle and failure as an opportunity for both Business and Personal Growth. We understand that people will fail forward—and we will be there to support them!
WE believe in achieving a BALANCE, because we believe that Work for Work’s sake alone is ultimately dissatisfying. We believe that Work must be tempered with humor, fun, compassion, inquisitiveness, patience, and joy.
WE believe that in making this statement we are making a commitment to SUCCESS.
WE believe in the importance and value of Continuing Education to maintain the leading edge. We understand that to be the BEST only happens by consistently developing our people, business and technical skills to take our Life and Business to the Highest Level of Excellence.
WE believe that the Environment we work in to Serve our guests deserves to be kept clean and organized at all times. We believe that to achieve this takes the Help and Support of the entire Team.
