Time to celebrate. I'm pleased to announce that Avlon Industries will be receiving its ISO 9001:2000 Certification.
So what exactly is ISO?
ISO is the universal short name that represents the International Organization for Standardization, which is a non-governmental organization that establishes industrial and commercial standards. ISO is headquartered in Geneva, Switzerland, and has considerable recognition throughout the world:
So how will this affect you, the stylist?
Certification in ISO 9001:2000 means that Avlon will be measuring and improving its business processes as a whole, not just final product inspection. All of our top executives will be involved in monitoring and improving our businesses processes. For example, if you were to call into our customer service department (800-332-8566) and leave a complaint, it would be recorded, tracked, and acted upon within the organization. Often times I will personally respond to a customer complaint.
Secondly, ISO 9001:2000 certification will help aide Avlon's commitment to offering the highest quality products available, as we will be monitoring and improving our design and development processes, which are already first rate. Many companies in the hair care industry don't even design, let alone manufacture, their own products which speaks to their long-term commitment to professional hair stylists.
So make sure to stay on the lookout for Avlon's next generation of products. The future is bright and I am confident our research will bring even better products to the forefront.
Dr. Syed,
I am currently a college student majoring in biochemistry. I would like to be a cosmetic chemist and work in the hair industry. I read that you are a master chemist. I am very interested in attending graduate school but I do not have a clue what my concentration should be. Do you have any suggestions?
Thank You
Congrats on the certification!
Jasmine, try doing a masters in Cosmetic Science. There are about 4 to 5 universities in the US that offer this program like the University of Cincinnati and University of Southern Mississippi. Let me know if can be of further help.
ISO certification is a huge deal. Congratulations! It just speaks wonders to the level of quality at Avlon,
Thanks Dani & Nadege.
