We aren't a salon, we are a software company. That's why every single designer, product person, researcher and developer at Phorest needs to work at a salon as a receptionist at least once a year and it's transformative. When they come back they have so many ideas of what needs to be improved and changed. It's really important to not lose touch with what's happening. I would strongly emphasise the importance of doing this for every product team that is building something that they wouldn't use themselves.
