Part 1 was all about writing the movie script of a successful hairstylist played by…..YOURSELF. In this sense you are playing a role which may not be how you are by nature e.g. naturally shy, or you lack self-confidence which is probably how many actors are naturally but not when they are playing their roles. Part 2 is all about changing the numbers for each dynamic that impacts on your business. What are the dynamics we are talking about? Clients Time Chemical services Retail products Client referrals Social Media activity Loyalty Programmes. These are are all examples of resources (tools) that you have at your disposal. So how can you double you turnover and, by extension, your take-home pay? Now comes the important part! To become a 'Superstar' you need to WANT to become one! Superstars are achievers, not to be confused with 'overachievers'. An achiever is somebody who sets and achieves goals and targets. Setting goals and targets doesn't automatically mean you will achieve them, you have to WANT to achieve them because WANT comes from WILL and WILL is one of the strongest mind-power tools you have. If you don't really WANT to be an achiever, you will not be able to generate the energy required to become an ACHIEVER. What are the goals of an achiever? Now that we've got that out of the way, the following goals need to be achieved to become a Superstar and double your turnover at the same time. 1. Grow the size of your clientele. Clients go where they're invited, stay where they are valued and promote you when they are impresses. One might rely on walk-in business or salon advertising for the first 6-9 months in the salon but thereafter there should be a steady stream of new clients being referred to you. Turnover Goal - increase your client base by 2-3 clients a month - 15% p/a. 2. Up-sell to clients continuously in order to 'add value' to the client experience. You have the knowledge, experience and expertease to provide extraordinary service. Turnover Goal - increase ADV (average docket value) by 25%. 3. Insist client use recommended home care products. You know they work, and you are the hair care expert so why wouldn't they take your advice? Don't be lazy when it comes to customer service! Turnover Goal - Sell 2 retail products a day - 15%. 4. Charge what you are worth! Don't get into the habit of giving discounts. That's what the client loyalty programme is for. The message to the client when you discount is that your work is not worth what you're charging. Turnover Goal - 15% (if not more). 5. Pre-book the next appointment BEFORE the client leaves the salon. Turnover Goal - Generally this with increase the number of salon visits per year by 15%. 6. Work the full day, not just when you have appointments. If you're not there you won't be available for clients who just pop in and, in the bigger scheme of things, your appointment column in the universe, is CLOSED. Turnover Goal ? – What would you like it to be?! – Terry Miles, MD MySalon Software Email: info@mysalonsoftware.co.za Web: mysalonsoftware.co.za

Alexia shows and explains the difference between lifting and lightening your hair. Take a look at this beautiful style created by Alexia Chrysafis. Click the image below to see the Instagram post. IGORA HIGHLIFTS - the DIFFERENCE between lifting and lightening your hair? The main difference is the results you’d like to achieve. The IGORA ROYAL Highlifts, for instance, lifts the natural hair colour up to 5 levels, upgrading natural blondes by working with the natural pigment. The IGORA VARIO BLOND, SUPER BLOND PLUS OR BLONDME Lightener, on the other hand, achieves maximum lift and it’s suitable for all bases, removing both artificial and natural pigment. Process: I did my signature HALO balayage technique which adds impact face framing placement and gives a natural, low maintenance look, using Schwarzkopf Igora Royal. Shade 12-19 + 12-11 with 12% . The Highlifts lift and tone on any virgin hair from a natural level 6 and up.

What Software Does your Salon or Spa Need as a Business? There are literally hundreds of software companies out there promising salons quick and easy bookings apps for your clients, or no monthly fees, or even no contracts, therefore no obligations. But think about it. Exactly what type of software do you NEED to protect the salon or spa business that you have built up and has become not only an asset in your life but a reflection of all your hard work. Over time the value of your business grows, and so does its market value. I think it's fair to say that your trading history, i.e. your intellectual property, represents 50% of the value of your business. What Options Do You Have? Buy local rather than foreign. This primarily because paying in US dollars or Euros will become very expensive given our exchange rate. Another important reason is support. Because of time differences you can expect a delay in support should you need it. Finally, SA software is written specifically for local trading conditions and compliances. Buy cloud-based rather than a system that is installed on your PC Computer hardware has a nasty habit of breaking down: hard-drives crash; computers pick up viruses; you have to be where the computer is to be able to use your software PLUS, you have to remember to back up your data on a regular basis. Not only is your data safer on the 'cloud', you can access your system from anywhere with virtually any 'smart' device. Exactly what do you want your software to do? There are some amazing 'Online Booking Apps' that make it convenient for clients to make appointments, as well as there are POS (point of sale) software which keeps track of the rands and cents with maybe a bit of stock control. There are also loyalty programmes that allow you reward your clients. Consolidate your software solutions Each of these tools will help you manage your business but instead of having different software programmes doing different things in your business, look for software that does it all. Make your business faster and efficient. Web-Based On-line and off-line bookings CRM POS Stock control Loyalty programme Staff target setting Profit protecter All In One Not only will it cost you less, it also streamlines support having only one company supporting your IT needs. Efficiency makes your business life easier and more successful. – Terry Miles, MD MySalon Software Email: info@mysalonsoftware.co.za Web: mysalonsoftware.co.za

One of the biggest challenges for employers is keeping their staff motivated in the workplace. Motivated employees are more productive, engaged, and loyal to their company. Therefore, it is essential to take measures to ensure that your employees stay motivated and enthusiastic about their work. In this article, we will discuss some effective ways to keep staff motivated in the workplace. Provide Opportunities for Growth and Development - One of the most significant factors that contribute to employee motivation is the opportunity for growth and development. Employees want to feel that they are progressing in their careers and that their skills are being recognised and rewarded. Therefore, it is crucial to provide your staff with training programs, mentoring, and other development opportunities that can help them advance in their careers. Create a Positive Work Environment - A positive work environment can go a long way in keeping employees motivated. This includes creating a culture of respect, recognition, and teamwork. Encouraging employees to share their ideas, being transparent about company goals and performance, and promoting a healthy work-life balance can all contribute to a positive work environment. Recognise and Reward Performance - Recognising and rewarding employee performance is a powerful motivator. Employees want to know that their hard work and efforts are appreciated and recognised by their employers. This can include bonuses, promotions, public recognition, or even simple thank-you notes. Celebrating achievements and milestones can help create a culture of appreciation and motivate employees to continue performing at their best. Encourage Collaboration and Teamwork - Encouraging collaboration and teamwork can help foster a sense of belonging and purpose among employees. When employees feel like they are part of a team working towards a common goal, they are more likely to stay motivated and engaged. This can include team-building exercises, cross-functional projects, and other activities that promote collaboration and teamwork. Provide a Clear Career Path - Employees want to know that they have a future in their current company. Therefore, providing a clear career path can help keep them motivated and engaged. This can include career development plans, regular performance reviews, and other feedback mechanisms that can help employees understand how they can advance in their careers. Keeping staff motivated in the workplace is essential for a productive and engaged workforce. By providing opportunities for growth and development, creating a positive work environment, recognising, and rewarding performance, encouraging collaboration and teamwork, and providing a clear career path, employers can keep their employees motivated and enthusiastic about their work. By taking these steps, employers can build a culture of appreciation, respect, and teamwork that can help drive their company's success. Key pointers to motivate staff in the workplace: Set clear and achievable goals: Make sure that your employees have clear and achievable goals that they can work towards. This will give them a sense of direction and purpose. Recognise and reward good performance: Show your appreciation for your employee's hard work and good performance by recognising and rewarding them. This can be in the form of bonuses, promotions, or other incentives. Provide regular feedback: Employees need feedback on their performance to know how they are doing and what they can improve on. Make sure to provide regular feedback, both positive and constructive. Offer opportunities for growth and development: Employees want to feel like they are growing and developing in their careers. Offer training and development opportunities that can help them advance their skills and careers. Foster a positive work environment: Create a positive work environment where employees feel valued, respected, and supported. Encourage open communication and collaboration to build a sense of teamwork and belonging. Encourage creativity and innovation: Employees are more likely to be motivated when they have the freedom to be creative and innovative. Encourage this by providing opportunities for brainstorming and idea-sharing. Provide work-life balance: Employees need a balance between work and their personal lives to stay motivated and productive. Provide flexible schedules and options for remote work if possible. Lead by example: As a manager or leader, it is important to lead by example. Be a positive role model for your employees and demonstrate the behaviours and values that you want to see in them. Celebrate successes and milestones: Celebrate successes and milestones, both big and small, to build a culture of appreciation and positivity. Listen to employee feedback: Listen to your employees' feedback and take it into consideration when making decisions. This will show that you value their input and opinions and can lead to increased motivation and engagement.
