What is the BPHS system?

We follow a very specific British Hairdressing system for our haircut and colour. It is a set of techniques and concepts that all our hairdressers use. For example, we have a very specific way of doing a graduated bob, which is followed by everyone at BPHS.

​

I have been hairdressing for many years. Can I work the same way as before?

No, if you work at BPHS, you work using the BPHS system. No exceptions.

​

Does anyone else have this requirement?
In India, we are the ONLY brand that has this specific requirement. 

How do other brands work?
Other brands work like we do during our 90 day transition period. They allow you to use your own methods, and add new material through training. You also learn by attending workshops and masterclasses. All of this is from different systems. You then mix and match all this and work in your own way. As long as you can cut a good bob and do some layered and blunt haircuts, you are allowed to work in your own way. This is the ADDITIVE method - you add to your existing skills. At BPHS, we use the REPLACEMENT method, we completely replace what you know with our system.

​

How does the system help me (the hairdresser)?  
As a BPHS hairdresser, you are able to produce high quality work at international standards. You learn faster as everyone uses the same methods. You can get specific guidance on complex cases from seniors including Bina, and work with confidence. Once you master the system, you, in turn can guide others.  This lets you grow beyond your own chair - you can move on to being a team leader, trainer, a salon technical head or even head a group of salons in a city, state of region  within a few years. You grow faster and better than anywhere else.

My current salary is more than what you're offering. Why? 
When looking at your salary, please make sure you compare your total salary, not just the fixed salary. Also, do factor in living expenses (rent).

​

If you are coming from North India, for example, you may have a higher FIXED salary but a lower VARIABLE salary (your incentive %age could be lower, or you might be getting it only after crossing a target). You previous company may not be providing you accommodation. We do. 
 

Even after checking my total salary, my previous salary is higher. Why are you offering me a lower salary? And why should I join (especially at lower pay)?
For multiple reasons:

1. Because we work in a specific system, we cannot use what you know directly - your current skills are more valuable to other salons or brands than to us.

2. Our system makes you a much better hairdresser than you were, and very quickly. You'll be doing work that others struggle with even after decades of experience.

3. Other salons may pay you more initially as they primarily need what you know. You add value to them. We invest in you and train you to a much higher level. We add value to you. 

4. We offer much faster growth within our brand. At other salons, your pay typically rises by 10 to 15% a year. Our hairdressers grow much faster, as their value to us increases substantially the longer they stay with us. Almost all hairdressers who have stayed with us for 2 years or more see themselves way ahead of their earlier colleagues, both in skill and pay.

5. We offer you growth beyond your chair. In other salons, you may end up doing pretty much the same job for 5 or 10 years or more. At BPHS, you will grow into mentorship, training and leadership roles, which are critical to maintain the quality of the system. Your value to us goes beyond your chair. And that's when you get paid better with us than anywhere else.

6. We already have a level based system, with very good hairdressers at even the entry level. Hairdressers who have spent 2 or 3 years with us are most likely to be producing better quality work than hairdressers with double or triple their experience.  

7. Working with us is an investment. We use a British hairdressing system, in which your skills develop rapidly, and are valuable anywhere in the world.

​

Hairdressing levels in India are quite basic, compared to international standards. If you wish to continue to work the same way as all hairdressers do in India, and earn a decent salary that goes up a little bit every year, we are not the right place for you. 

​

On the other hand, if you are passionate about hairdressing, wish to do better work than most other hairdressers in the country, and would like to grow into more exciting and bigger roles, then we are the place for you. ​

​
