Spring is just around the corner and it’s the perfect time to start thinking about spring cleaning your business. We got in touch with Mike Waldon, General Manager at Salon Manager, to discuss how salon businesses can clean up and prepare their business ahead of the busy spring/summer months to ensure their salon is set up for success for the season🌻... 1. Clean up your stock: Before spring, you should take some time to get ‘out with the old and in with the new’ and start to think of what products your clients would like to see for spring/summer when they are looking to get summer ready. Salon Manager can help automate inventory management, ensuring you never run out of essential products and reducing the likelihood of overstocking too. 2. Rethink your marketing strategy: Spring is the perfect time to freshen up your marketing strategy and to be more thorough when it comes to communicating with your clients via digital platforms including social media and newsletter. With salon software system, Salon Manager, you can easily create your own salon newsletters in minutes with the help of advanced marketing features and gain high engagement, high open rates and immediate delivery that’s easy to track. 3. Employee management: It’s important to hold regular team and individual meetings with team members to ensure they are happy at work and to be aware of their career goals and have plans in place to help them achieve these. Alongside this, having Performance Management Systems is beneficial to keep on track with team member performance and to monitor commissions and manage schedules effectively. 4. Improve your customer experience: Not only should you take some time to ensure your social media platforms and website look their best to encourage new clients through spring, but you should also make sure that they contain all the information new clients would be looking for should they stumble on your page. Salon Manager can help create a booking platform for your salon, and alongside this can send SMS and email reminders and can request deposits which will in turn help to reduce the number of no shows.

We hear from Hairware brand ambassador, @wigswithkristina , to discuss her journey towards alopecia acceptance and the struggles along the way💚 Kristina tells us that, “My hair began falling out during my teenage years, a dermatologist diagnosed me with Alopecia Areata and told me there was no guaranteed cures. I have since been diagnosed with Alopecia Universalis, and the majority of my body hair has fallen out. The diagnosis was the start of my wig-wearing journey, and it has taken 23 years for me to come to terms with my hair loss.” Kristina shares some advice to others struggling with alopecia, “find the hair loss community, as it will help you feel less alone. Allow yourself the time to grieve, and don’t feel pressured; everyone copes differently.” “After years of watching many amazing YouTubers who dedicate videos to sharing wig content, I thought, Why can’t I do this? So that was when @wigswithkristina was born, and a month after creating the page, I came out as totally bald. I receive countless messages from others who have hair loss and need advice, and I feel so grateful to be in a position to help and support others.”

In our #Editor’sDayOut feature, we delve into our incredible visit to the Dyson Research and Innovation Campus in Malmesbury, where we enjoyed a wonderful two days of meeting engineers, scientists and stylists to hear all about the latest in Dyson beauty innovations. The media day commenced with a welcome dinner with @dysonhairpro ambassadors, the entirety of the three-course meal was grown on Dyson’s very own farm- one of the UK’s largest farming operations. To conclude the evening and end the speculation about the release, the Dyson Supersonic r™ professional hair dryer was unveiled. Being among the first group of people to ever see the Supersonic r™ felt incredible. The second day commenced with a technology deep dive into the Supersonic r™, understanding how Dyson aims to solve problems that others ignore. This was followed by visits to a wide range of Dyson labs. With styling masterclasses from Dyson ambassadors to see the product in action, followed by a Q&A held with James Dyson himself! In true Dyson fashion, James then opened the floor to criticisms and suggestions in order to continue serving the beauty industry with solutions to their issues.

In light of #internationaldayofhappiness , we hear from industry professionals on how to navigate mental wellbeing in this environment, as a trip to a salon is more than a service for many, it is a chance to offload and a safe space to talk🌷✨ @sarahloutodd and @samuelarnold , Co-Founders of @chatsandcuts , lead an initiative hoping to empower hairdressers and barbers to “Connect, Listen and Signpost” young clients during the course of a haircut. They also advise that beauty professionals shouldn’t turn into therapists, but should instead “know what to say in an empathetic response in terms of signposting and support”. David Toland, Director of Mind the Gap, suggested, “Clients talk more openly to beauty therapists because they’re in a safe and caring environment”. It’s often noted that the lack of eye contact encourages people to open up and talk more freely. Hayley Jepson, also known as @the.resilient.hairdresser , a mental health coach for the hair industry explains that “voluntary training needs to be available for salon staff, including a focus on signposting people to the appropriate place”. @hiltonsophia , Founder of @notanothersalon and @notanotheracademy , shares that “Actively showing examples of how to look after your wellbeing is the best way to encourage your team to also take these routes”. Lastly, @soniamagniercoaching , Founder of Sonia Magnier Business and Wellbeing Coaching, noted that “Bringing mindfulness into the salon supports everyone”.

In light of #globalrecyclingday , we share 5 tips on how to help do your bit for the environment to make your salon more sustainable💚 💚 Ditching Disposables: Instead of disposing of tools after each client, add a few pounds to your clients’ first appointment to provide them with a packet of their ‘personal’ tools to reuse at subsequent appointments. 💚 Refilling Instead of Recycling: Refill stations help salons to stand out as the go-to place for eco-friendly services, increase customer loyalty and cater to customers adopting a more environmentally conscious lifestyle. 💚 Save Your Energy: Though the initial cost of energy-saving bulbs is usually higher, the long term savings and lower energy consumption make the investment worthwhile. 💚 Set Realistic Goals: To make your goals more attainable, start small to determine how you will carry out the modifications. 💚 Educate Your Team: Talk openly with your staff about the value of sustainability in your salon. Urge employees to turn off the water in between treatments and to switch off electronics when not in use.
