DRESSCODE

Rich 1 Beauty’s objective in establishing a business casual dress code is to allow our students to work comfortably in the workplace. Yet, we still need our students to project a professional image for our salon customers, fellow students, and community visitors. Business casual dress is the standard for this dress code.

Because all casual clothing is not suitable for the salon teaching facilities, these guidelines will help you determine what is appropriate to wear to school. Clothing that works well for the beach, yard work, dance clubs, exercise sessions, and sports contests may not be appropriate for a professional appearance at school.

Clothing that reveals too much cleavage, your back, your chest, your feet, your stomach or your underwear is not appropriate for a place of business nor studies.

Even in a business casual work environment, clothing should be pressed and never wrinkled.

Torn, dirty, or frayed clothing is unacceptable. All seams must be finished. Any clothing that has words, terms, or pictures that may be offensive to other employees is unacceptable. Clothing that has the company logo is encouraged. Sports team, university, and fashion brand names on clothing are generally acceptable.

Certain days can be declared dress down days, generally Fridays. On these days, jeans and other more casual clothing, although never clothing potentially offensive to others, are allowed. Management will communicate these dates to all students.

Slacks, Pants, and Suit Pants

Slacks that are similar to Dockers and other makers of cotton or synthetic material pants, wool pants, flannel pants,dressy capris, and nice looking dress synthetic pants are acceptable. Inappropriate slacks or pants include jeans, sweatpants, exercise pants, Bermuda shorts, short shorts, shorts, bib overalls, leggings, and any spandex or other form-fitting pants such as people wear for biking.

Skirts, Dresses, and Skirted Suits

Casual dresses and skirts, and skirts that are split at or below the knee are acceptable. Dress and skirt length should be at a length at which you can sit comfortably in public. Short, tight skirts that ride halfway up the thigh are inappropriate for work. Mini-skirts are inappropriate for the salon and school.

Shirts, Tops, Blouses, and Jackets

Casual shirts, dress shirts, sweaters, tops, golf-type shirts, and turtlenecks are acceptable attire for work. Most suit jackets or sport jackets are also acceptable attire for the office, if they violate none of the listed guidelines. Inappropriate attire for work includes tank tops; midriff tops; shirts with potentially offensive words, terms, logos, pictures, cartoons, or slogans; halter-tops; tops with bare shoulders; sweatshirts, and t-shirts unless worn under another blouse, shirt, jacket, or dress.

Shoes and Footwear

Conservative athletic or walking shoes, loafers, clogs, sneakers, boots, flats, dress heels, and leather deck-type shoes are acceptable for work. Wearing no stockings is acceptable in warm weather. Flashy athletic shoes, thongs, flip-flops, slippers, and any shoe with an open toe are not acceptable in the salon or school.

Jewelry, Makeup, Perfume, and Cologne

Should be in good taste, with limited visible body piercing. Remember, that some employees are allergic to the chemicals in perfumes and make-up, so wear these substances with restraint.

Hats and Head Covering

Hats are not appropriate in the salon or school. Head covers that are required for religious purposes or to honour cultural tradition are allowed.

CELLULAR PHONES

Rich 1 Beauty understands and appreciates that students utilize cellular phones for communication purposes. At the same time, cell phones are a distraction in the classroom. Therefore, cell phone use is not permitted during school hours. Students wishing to use their cell phone for personal use, may do so on their scheduled breaks and away from the premises.

SMOKING

To protect and enhance our indoor air quality and to contribute to the health and well-being of all students, customers and employees, Rich 1 Beauty shall be entirely smoke free.

DISPUTE RESOLUTION POLICY & PROCEDURE

Policy: Individuals should always try to resolve issues informally. If a more formal approach becomes necessary, the institution provides a fair and reasonable mechanism for resolution.

First try to resolve the issue directly with the other party. If this doesn’t work please arrange a meeting with the school’s administrator or owner to resolve issue.
