Become a Savvy Saver While Running a Successful Beauty SalonApril 6, 2018Being a beauty salon owner is only demanding if you don’t know how to balance your finances. Owning such an establishment in a competitive industry is costly, not to mention challenging. So you can’t treat like any other business. Instead, consider it a personal challenge. How you manage these finances affects your success and through that, affects you as a person. If you are able to manage a successful, financially-secure salon, you will be seen as a reliable businessperson. And through that, you may be able to gain some investors who will want to support such a worthy establishment. How Location Matters The three-worded mantra for real estate agents holds the key. If you’re smack-dab in the middle of all the chaos, let’s say in a mall, you’ll be in view of everyone who comes and goes. From 100 people, you’ll be able to attract at least 10-15 people who will then recommend your salon to other people. Even if your location came at a sweet price, the money you gain back in improved salons sales will more than make up for the money you invested. Quality is King The 5-10 chairs in your salon will remain empty if you don’t invest some money in the products you offer and the equipment you use. From simpler things like scissors and mixing bowls to hair dyes and treatments, make sure that everything is top-quality. Let your services speak for themselves. Smiles All the While Your staff represents your brand. If they’re not happy with the way they’re treated, they will end up taking your clients away from you. Some clients might leave because they’re unhappy with the level of quality (because your employees will not put in the effort) while others will not want to visit an establishment that’s not doing its best support its own people. Upsell Your Brand The magic-in-a-bottle trick always works. It’s understandable that your clients will not always be able to come to your salon. Show them that you care by offering retail products. Present them with easy solutions and show them that you’re willing to go the extra mile. You’ll earn back even more through the simplest form of advertising – word of mouth! Learn More! Save More!
