In our quest to ‘MAKE GOOD, BETTER’ we will be releasing a series of ‘INFO-torials’ showing the fabulous information available to you when using our system. CLIENTS We know that your CLIENTELE is the heart of your business but have you ever wondered how many new clients you are getting and which marketing strategy produces the most new clients? Have you also wondered how many clients come back to you? HOW TO FIND THIS INFORMATION ON MYSALON SOFTWARE. I’m sure you are familiar with the Client Source function. (SETTINGS > CLIENT SOURCES) When adding a NEW client it is PARAMOUNT that to select the source of your NEW client. Regardless of the original ‘Source’, the system automatically re-labels the client as Regular when she returns to your business (as long as you have added their cell number) because ‘they can’t be a first-time-client more than once’. In your KPI report (ADVANCED REPORTS > KPI) You are able to pull this report month by month to monitor Client Sources. Using MySalon’s powerful filtering function, you are able to pull valuable client reports. GENERAL > SEND SMS and GENERAL > SMS FILTER CLIENTS GROUPS As your client data base grows it becomes more difficult to manage. Try allocating clients to groups to make it easier to manage. SETTINGS > CLIENT GROUPS. You will then be able to view clients belonging any specific group. GENERAL > CLIENT DATA BASE > SEARCH. N.B Clients can be added to any number of GROUPS. TOP SPENDING CLIENTS Following the 80/20 rule that 20% of your client provide 80% of your turnover, it makes sense to be able to monitor your top spending clients. GENERAL REPORTS > TOP SPENDING CLIENTS. Review this report on a monthly basis and, most importantly, monitor the date of last visit. This information should be shared with your staff regularly as a prevention to Client loss. CLIENT PREFERENCES Having your clients’ personal preferences on record ensures a continuity instead a stop-start relationship. SETTINGS > PREFERENCE TYPES. Keep colour formulae, health issues, hair/ skin integrity, even how the clients like their refreshments. Preferences are easy to update on your client’s personal profile.

As the sole distributor of Mediceuticals in South Africa, we are excited to share a groundbreaking opportunity for skincare salons, spas, and hair care professionals to elevate their scalp treatment offerings. Mediceuticals follows a scalp-first approach, making it the perfect partner for the new head spa treatments that are gaining popularity. JAPANESE HEAD SPA TREATMENT: THE HEALING TOUCH FOR HEAD & MIND Japanese Head Spa goes beyond traditional hair salon treatments. It's all about creating a soothing and therapeutic experience for both the hair and scalp. This treatment is not solely focused on aesthetics, but also on the overall health of the hair and the balance of the scalp. THE PERFECT PAIRING: MEDICEUTICALS & HEAD SPA TREATMENTS Ultimate Care for Your Clients A typical Japanese Head Spa session begins with a thorough analysis of the scalp and hair. Professionals in Japanese Head Spa treatments are trained to identify specific problems such as oily scalp, dandruff, or even hair loss. They then apply treatments aimed at revitalizing and repairing the scalp. One of the highlights of Japanese Head Spa is the relaxing massage which not only promotes blood circulation but also relieves stress and tension, which in turn can improve hair health. MEDICEUTICALS: THE SCIENCE BEHIND HEALTHY HAIR & SCALP While Japanese Head Spa emphasizes experience and relaxation, Mediceuticals takes a scientific approach to hair and scalp care, with products developed on pharmaceutical principles, to effectively tackle hair and scalp problems. The new head spa treatments are all about promoting scalp health, making Mediceuticals the ideal partner. Our special products, such as oils and masks, are incorporated to deeply nourish and strengthen the hair, with treatments that focus on deep cleansing, exfoliating, and rejuvenating the scalp. Deep Cleansing without Stripping: Mediceuticals cleanses the scalp thoroughly without stripping away its natural oils, maintaining a healthy scalp environment. Nourishment and Protection: With increased blood circulation and nutrient delivery, the scalp is nourished, and hair follicles are protected and revitalized. Balanced Scalp Environment: The optimal pH balance provided by Mediceuticals ensures that the scalp remains healthy, reducing the risk of common scalp issues. Mediceuticals’s products contain active ingredients designed to address specific problems such as hair loss, dandruff, or an irritated scalp. These scientifically formulated products work deep into the hair structure and scalp, focusing on the core of the problem. We focus on health. Restoring and maintaining scalp health lays the foundation for strong and shiny hair, going beyond just camouflaging problems and focusing on sustainable, long-term results. MEDICEUTICALS: THE SCALP-FIRST APPROACH Mediceuticals products are meticulously designed to prioritize scalp health. Free from sulfates, colorants, preservatives, and harmful perfumes, they ensure a gentle yet effective treatment for the scalp. Sulfate-Free: Sulfates can strip the scalp of its natural oils, leading to dryness and irritation. Mediceuticals products are sulfate-free, maintaining the scalp's natural balance. DHT Removal: Mediceuticals helps to remove dihydrotestosterone (DHT) from the hair follicles, promoting healthier hair growth by preventing follicle shrinkage. Increased Blood Circulation: The products enhance blood circulation to the scalp, ensuring that oxygen and nutrients are efficiently delivered to the hair follicles while also removing waste buildup. Optimal pH Balance: The scalp, an extension of our skin, has a natural pH of 4.5. Mediceuticals products are formulated with a pH range of 3.5 to 4.5, maintaining the scalp’s natural pH balance and preventing issues like oily scalp, dry scalp, psoriasis, dermatitis, and eczema. CUSTOMISED SOLUTIONS FOR EVERY CLIENT Mediceuticals offers a range of products to address various client concerns, divided into four main categories: Healthy Hair Solutions: For clients who do not have specific concerns but want to maintain healthy scalp and hair. Scalp Remedies: Targeting problematic scalps, including oily, dry, and dandruff-prone scalps. Hair Restoration for Men: Options for dry and normal scalps, focusing on hair loss and thinning, particularly for those with a genetic predisposition. Hair Restoration for Women: Concentrating on hormonal imbalances, hair loss, and thinning hair. WHAT MEDICEUTICALS PRODUCT RANGE WILL HELP YOU & YOUR CLIENTS THE MOST?
