Piandré Salon

Since 1987, Piandré Salon has provided the best salon services for the beautiful people of Manila. It is the largest single-owned salon in the country today. It was started by Entrepreneur Rosalinda "Linda" Zamora Francisco. LZF’s management has led to expansion, including founding a salon cooperative as a viable business model.

To mark the 30 years of success, the CEO started with a series of projects and shared the Hundredfold to help its employees increase earnings and make contributions to institutions. They have many services, including Haircut, Blowdry, Full color, Gentle Bleaching/Lightening, and Scalp and conditioning treatment.

Piandré is known for taking good care of not just their clients, but also their employees. All the hairstylists of Piandré are trained by Vidal Sassoon Academy graduate and general manager, Andrea Zulueta-Lorenzana. The salon itself projects a higher-end image, but their rates are surprisingly mid-range. Go to Piandré for classic, never-going-out-of-style haircuts and hair treatments.

ABOUT US Our belief is that clients will be better served if they are taken care of by our employees. Our goal is to grow and be able to give. Piandr was founded by Rosalinda Linda Zamora Francisco in 1987. She was inspired by the high-end beauty salons known as beauty parlors back then. LZF's values-based approach to management led to growth, including the establishment of a salon cooperative.

LZF was the CEO of Piandr Salon Chain. This project aims to increase the earnings of its employees and contribute to the institutions. It marks the 30th anniversary of the chain's success. Last year, her main goal was to grant the Piandr Salon Multipurpose Cooperative Inc. the first Piandr franchise - which is the new Piandr salon in U.

P. Town Center. Power of the U. P.

Co-op The 300 member cooperative owns the Town Center branch of Piandr. In Quezon City, 1995 saw the construction of the first Piandr salon owned by a co-op. LZF contributed capital that cost less than one million pesos. The co-op gradually paid it off.

This 100m2 branch, which is two stories tall, is the most profitable of all the Piandr branches. You can share in the benefits of the cooperative by starting another salon. This building was built for the development Linda Zamora Francisco (Piandr CEO LZF), Piandr CEO. All profits are donated to the cooperative.

U. P. Branch Town Center was created to increase the earning potential of employees, but also as a business strategy. LZF has closed one branch and will transfer the employees to the mall.

The mall also attracts more customers. LZF claims that only Piandr employees are eligible for the franchise. At the time of contract signing, the co-op had paid the franchise fee. LZF says they have the financial capacity to stand alone with some guidance.

The salon, measuring 248 sqm, is priced at P8million. This was paid by the co-op. According to LZF, the cost of construction and supplies for start-up includes approximately 1000 stock units. Piandr Salon Inc. will manage the salon.

They have an agreement not to separate because their name will appear on Piandr. This co-op has the unique distinction of being in the same industry as us. However, it is not written in the rules. Co-ops are not allowed to do the same thing as other companies.

Our salon cooperative is not a competitor to me. This model has been proven to work. Rainy Day Savings LZF created an informal savings and loan facility in 1990 to help employees with their financial problems. This was to deter them from turning to other money lenders.

It was recognized by the Cooperative Development Authority five years later as a credit cooperative. This new setup allowed the co-op its first Piandr Salon along Del Monte Avenue. It became Piandr Salon Multipurpose Cooperative Inc. when it began to own retail brands. To jointly decide how the co-op is managed, members elect a board.

The salary is taken from employees' salaries to pay a monthly contribution of P500. They consider this their saving for the future. A loan can be obtained that is up to twice the share capital. If an employee has accumulated P100,000.0, they can get a loan of P200,000.

The interest will be paid over 24 months. How much of the member's share capital has been earned will determine how easy it is to lend. According to Gregor Tea o (co-op chairman, senior stylist), they can borrow depending upon their financial capability. The plans include a provident loan to cover home repairs and emergency construction loans.

They also offer support for those who are looking for a second income. Total Development has had many successes. The salon's employees start in small jobs and then go on to earn extra money through their own initiative. Elsa David began her career as a manicurist back in 1992.

She is now a senior stylist. The cooperative provided a loan each year to help her pay the tuition of her children. They are now professionals with remarkable credentials. One of them has an Ateneo MBA and is an accountant.

LZF points to the fact that the cooperative distributes the annual dividends from the profits from interest on loans, its businesses like the Del Monte branch or certain salon products. In 2016, P4million was distributed by the co-op in dividends. To give staff ownership so that they could also learn managerial skills, I decided to do this. This is for their complete development.

They learn how to manage money and develop skills that will help them improve their income. They realize they have the power to positively impact others when they are able to grow. She says they know who they are and have the right values. LZF urges employees to give in accordance with Sharing the Hundredfold's theme.

They can use a love fund, Graces Home for Elderly, Negrenses Volunteer for Change and Graces Home for Marawi Refugee Children, as well as Graces Home for the Elderly, Graces Home for The Elderly, A-HA Learning Centre, or a tutoring program for children who are less fortunate, to support Marawi refugees. Staff should be grateful for their blessings. LZF says that we grow to be able to give. LZF began her business career early in her life.

She aspired at the beginning to be as good or better than Richard Warwick, a hairdresser who works in high-end salons located in luxury hotels. Piandr, a Makati salon, was opened by LZF along Amorsolo Street in 1987. She hoped to attract Makati's top executives. Piandr was named after her three daughters, Peachy Maria Paz Zulueta Maxwald, Aina Katrina Zulueta Valencia and Andrea Andrea Claudia Zulueta Lorenzana.

It was difficult to face the reality of starting a business. Apart from the fact that she needed to invest money and time, and manage the staff, there were also the difficulties of making the public aware of the existence of the business. Some stylists in the neighborhood were able to steal the company's business as it stabilized. LZF opened Piandr at 60 Timog Avenue in 1995 despite the skepticism of those who thought there would not be a market or it would be overshadowed by all the other commercial businesses.

The salon prospered, even though their landlord had to sell the place where they lived. Piandr relocated to a more quiet area, and sales dropped. Piandr moved to a quiet neighborhood, and sales dropped. To add insult to injury, top stylists opened their own salon and took their clients along.

LZF attempted to lure Piandr's clients with chocolates. She admits that it has been an uphill battle. To manage a salon, you need vision and organizational talent. You also have to be disciplined in order to organize the operations of several mini-ventures under one roof.

LZF's strong sense of purpose and business discipline has helped the chain grow over the years. LZF Building Piandr's flagship branch on Timog Avenue strives to become a hub for Quezon City's wealthy. This five-story building is home to the largest Piandr salon, measuring 600m, among all 12 branches. It also has conference rooms for 100 people, meeting rooms for 100 and an art gallery.

Rosalinda Linda Zamora Francisco, founder and CEO of Piandr, purchased the land and built the structure as a culmination of her many years of experience. LZF, the name of the building after its owner, was constructed by Carmelo Casas (star team architect), Pablo Calma (contractor), and Sofia Ojeda Llige (interior designer). Casas recommended that the building be used as a flagship for the chain. However, Casas also suggested adding floors to make the most of its location to allow new businesses to use it.

LZF holds the Silver Lotus Ballroom as a special treasure. The groundbreaking took place on the silver anniversary of Piandr last 2012, and was therefore named silver. Lotus is the symbol of victory in difficult situations. LZF Building, Timog Avenue Quezon City References
