The salon experience has always been the most important goal for retaining good loyal clients. While that has not gone away, the frequency of client salon visits has been dropping over the years. Now with Covid 19, increasing unemployment and the shortage of qualified hair and skin experts the challenge is going to get greater. Facts: 1. 99% of salon and spa business relies on clients actually being in the salon. 2. Your clients are your clients, whether they are in the salon or not they are still on your client data base. 3. Traditional retail, which relies on shoppers going into shops, is in free-fall while on-line shopping is going through the roof. Opportunity: Taken the above into consideration now is the perfect time to turn your salon into a 24 hour business. How does it work?: Salons and spas will still be open to provide the plethora of services their clients love. Hopefully that will never die. However, if clients know they are able to 'visit' your salon from their smart phone, laptop or tablet, from anywhere, they can be offered or be able to shop additional services for which they don't need to be in the salon. This is e-commerce. What do you need?: The first thing you need is a 4 or 5 page website for your salon. The website should include a home-page which tells them about you, your price list, your e-shop, a current promotions page, a request an appointment page and page for frequently asked questions. If you already have a website you might be able to just add the e-shop and start trading. Your existing website might need updating or, if you don’t already have a website you need to get one. On your e-shop you will list the brands you stock. The client will select the brand and then be able to select from the products listed under that brand. Each item should include a pic of the product as well as a description including the price. The e-shop will have an add-to-cart function and once the client has finished shopping she goes to ‘the checkout’ which shows a summary of her order including final invoice amount. At this point you have the option of selecting one of the on-line payment options or emailing the order through to your salon. The e-shop is a function of your front desk manager and, if the salon is too busy, a second person should be trained to receive the client’s order, create a pro-for a invoice which is sent to the client and upon receipt of payment and then makes the order available for Collection at the salon or delivery via the ever-growing number delivery services that fall into ‘gig economy’. The bottom line is we cannot just sit and wait for business to come to us rather create a shop window that allows you to stay in touch with clients at the same time letting them interact with your business. This means you will never be far from your clients thoughts. An e-shop is not an ‘app’ which has to compete with all the other ‘apps’ clients have on their phones however, a shortcut icon can be added to your clients’ devices which creates a shortcut to your website. During the recent lock-down, salons that have an active website with an e-shop generated turnover because, even though their salons were closed their businesses weren’t.

An out-of-this-world mix of shimmering colour, mesmerising detail and fluid shape that will leave you starry eyed. Hair by: Steven Smart at Smart:Est73, Weston-super-Mare Make-up by: Debra Smart Styling by: Bernard Connolly Photography by: Richard Miles

Many of your clients want to grow their hair, particularly millennials who like longer hairstyles. However, constant colouring and heat styling has left them with hair that is damaged, dull, and weak. Hair that is in this state tends only to break. Frustrated, your clients will have to cut their hair before this happens. And for anyone who has ever wanted long hair, constant cutting is not the ideal solution. The NEW Fiber Infusion from Kadus Professional repairs your client's hair before it breaks. It also allows clients to grow their hair without regularly taking length off its ends. The range strengthens and instantly reconstruct hair fibres through ingredients such as keratin. Keratin allows hair to grow by strengthening it while also adding shine and softness. Up to 97% less hair breakage. Up to 10x less hair damage* How keratin improves the hair’s condition Keratin has been the main ingredient of many hair care ranges and hair treatments. And a lot has been said about its benefits. Simply put, keratin is the protein that keeps hair strong and healthy. Over time exposure to chemicals and excessive heat breaks down the hair’s keratin and leaves it dull, brittle, and unmanageable. That's why a client who frequently colours and heat styles needs that little extra protection. Using products that place keratin back into the hair allows it to bond with the hair acting as a fortification against further damage. It provides your client with the protection needed to keep hair nourished and well-conditioned. This limits breakage allowing hair to grow. Other benefits of keratin-enriched product are that they leave hair shiny and smooth. And it helps to fight frizz and tame fly-aways. The Fiber Infusion Range Kadus Fiber Infusion Shampoo A Shampoo that instantly regenerates the hair. It gently cleanses the hair while perfectly preparing the hair fibres for deep reconstruction. Suitable to use with any hair type. Kadus Fiber Infusion Reconstructive Treatment The Reconstructive Treatment instantly reconstructs the hair fibres and is suitable for all hair types. For the best results, use it with Fiber Infusion Shampoo and the 5 Minute treatment. Kadus Fiber Infusion 5 Minute Treatment A Treatment that instantly reconstructs and reinforces the hair fibre within 5 minutes. Its lightweight formula nourishes the hair without weighing down leaving hair strong, smooth, and shiny. Buy Kadus Fiber Infusion for your salon. Contact your Rep or phone 0860 104 107.

Is Your Salon Compliant? CFS Healthscan offers two efficient and cost-effective alternatives for individual salons or multi-chains, to allow screening of staff and clients using digital devices. Either this can be done on-site on a phone or tablet via a QR code, or else the client receives an email link confirming their booking and they do their own screening, with the temperature added when they enter the salon. (This saves time.) For individual salons, setup is quick and easy and the online reporting dashboard is available at the touch of a button. For larger chain groups this is an invaluable service as head office can be assured that each salon is complying fully with the correct screening process. If employees/ customers do not pass the health screen, they will not be allowed to access the salon and the person responsible will be notified. Watch the video to see how this quick, easy and professional service works!
