It is essential that all hoteliers follow the standards for grooming and appearance of their hotel in order to maintain a professional looking and presentable appearance in front of the guests. Here are some must follow tips to ensure personal grooming.

Personal Grooming Tips

  1. Check your uniform each day to see if it is damaged, crashed or stained.
  2. Keep shoes polish and in good shape. There should not be any hole or runs in socks.
  3. Fingernails must be filed short. No bitten and spotlessly clean at all times. Lady hoteliers may wear clean or pearl nail polish with no chips.

  4. Female hoteliers should wear basic cosmetics in front of the house areas including lipstick and eyeliner.
  5. Hair must be clean and neat at all times. Female associates with hair longer than collar length must tie up in a bun safely secured. Male hoteliers must keep their hair above collar length at all times.
  6. Shave daily. This is compulsory. No excuse will be accepted.
  7. All hoteliers may wear a watch and a wedding ring only. Ladies may also wear a small nose stud, simple stud earring.
  8. Try to maintain personal hygiene all the time. Breath & body odor must be kept fresh at all times.
  9. Wear proper uniform and make sure it fits you. Bend your tie properly.
  10. Don’t uses jell deeply. Don’t use it unless you need and if you use, then use slightly.

Some more personal grooming tips for female servers:

  • Never use heavy make-up. Use light make-up.
  • No exclusive or eye appealing jewellry is allowed.
  • Proper hair band should be used to cover head.
  • Don’t use high hill. This could be dangerous. Use flat shoes.

Thanks for your Comment. Actually to define anything as standard may be a controversial issue. To remain safe side I titled it as Tips.

I think your site is well organised and offers good tips but it lacks a little on management issues (tuttorials) . I would be glad to read more about the financial management of a hotel . Moreover i have to say that being shaved every day should not be so strict for someone who have irritation problems .

Dear Lefteris, You are right. Actually i do have long time planning with this blog. At the beginning i want to cover basic tutorials. May be after one year, after covering basic tutorials i can write some tutorials on managerial aspects. And i am very sorry to say i am not expert on everything. So, writing on financial or marketing aspects of a hotel may not be possible for me. If you are interested i can refer you some book on those topics. Also if you are interested you can write here as a guest writer with full detail info about you. You are cordially welcome…
