A well-stocked retail shelf isn’t just about selling product — it’s about  enhancing your salon’s profitability, reinforcing client trust , and creating an all-around exceptional salon experience. One of the easiest and most impactful ways to boost your in-salon revenue is by offering your clients a selection of  quality professional retail products  that truly deliver results — like our milk_shake®  fast movers.   Why Retail Matters More Than Ever Clients today are more conscious about home care than ever before. And while online shopping continues to grow,  clients still prefer to purchase retail products directly from their trusted salon . Why? Because they believe in  your professional recommendation . Having retail options visible and accessible ensures you're meeting them at the point of interest — and sometimes, even inspiring an  impulse buy .   milk_shake® Retail Heroes Your Clients Will Love: Stocking the  right products  is key — and  milk_shake®  has a proven selection of fast-moving, salon-favourite products designed to meet the daily haircare needs of your clients: Leave-In Heroes Incredible Milk  – 12 benefits in one miracle milk Leave-In Conditioning Spray  – Lightweight detangling and hydration Whipped Cream  – Iconic nourishing mousse with milk proteins Silver Shine Range For blonde, grey, or lightened hair Silver Shine Shampoo ,  Conditioner ,  Whipped Cream , and  Toning Spray Make My Day Range Gentle cleansing and moisture Shampoo ,  Conditioner , and  Whipped Cream  — a daily treat for any hair type Icy Blonde Range For cooler, clean blondes Shampoo ,  Conditioner , and  Toning Spray  to fight brassiness   Keep it In Stock — Keep it Selling: Always remember:  your client wants to purchase when they’re already in your chair . If the product isn’t available, the sale is lost — and chances are, the client will find it somewhere else. A well-stocked, visually appealing retail display keeps your recommendations front and centre and boosts your salon’s image as a full-service, professional space.   milk_shake® products perform, they delight, and they keep your clients coming back for more.

Let's dive into an essential yet often overlooked aspect of running a successful business—municipal bylaws. These local regulations can significantly impact how you operate your salon or spa. But don't worry, the EOHCB is here to help you navigate these rules and ensure your business stays on the right side of the law.   Did you know? In South Africa, each municipality has its own set of bylaws. These are similar to how the industry’s main agreement is divided into sections (A, B, C, and D), each with unique provisions. For example, in the Western Cape, Easter Saturday is still recognised as an industry holiday, while the rest of South Africa considers it a regular working day. This means businesses in the Western Cape enjoy a special holiday, but it also comes with added responsibilities for employers.   Let’s take a look at the Overberg area: The municipal health services bylaws here were updated in 2019. Due to the pandemic, enforcement only began recently. If you are operating in this region, you must obtain a health certificate and renew it annually. Failing to do so could result in substantial fines, so it’s important to stay on top of this requirement.   What about KwaZulu-Natal? Municipalities like eThekwini have bylaws covering everything from air quality to waste management. Air quality regulations are strictly enforced, so make sure your business isn’t contributing to pollution. Gauteng? In Gauteng, municipalities like Ekurhuleni have comprehensive bylaws governing public health, safety, and environmental management, and they even encourage community involvement in the drafting process.   A real-life example In the Eastern Cape, informal traders in Cacadu (formerly Lady Frere) faced serious challenges when the Emalahleni Local Municipality demolished over 40 stalls as part of a plan to revitalize the town’s business district. These traders, including those selling cosmetics, lost their livelihoods during the festive season. This case underscores the importance of staying informed about local bylaws to avoid similar disruptions. Here are some common areas regulated by Municipal Bylaws which could affect Hairdressing, Cosmetology, Beauty, and Skincare Industry businesses: Business Licensing: Most municipalities require businesses to obtain a trading license or business permit. This often involves submitting an application and paying a fee. Health and Hygiene: Bylaws often specify hygiene standards for premises and equipment. Requirements may include proper sterilization of tools, cleanliness of work areas, and personal hygiene of staff. Waste Management: Proper disposal of waste, including hazardous materials like chemicals and sharps. Compliance with recycling regulations. Building Regulations: Compliance with zoning laws for the business location. Adherence to building safety codes, including fire safety measures. Signage: Regulations on the size, placement, and content of business signage. Parking: Provision of adequate parking for customers, if applicable. Noise Control: Limitations on noise levels, especially in residential areas. Water and Sanitation: Proper plumbing and drainage systems. Water conservation measures. Environmental Health: Compliance with air quality standards, especially for businesses using chemicals. Tips for Staying Compliant:   Stay informed:  Regularly check your local municipality’s website for updates on bylaws. Get certified:  Make sure you have all required health and safety certifications. Engage with officials:  Build a positive relationship with local municipal officials, as they can offer valuable guidance. Internal inspections:  Conduct regular inspections to ensure your business complies with local regulations. Employee training:  Train your staff on the importance of compliance and what to monitor. What does this mean for your business? It’s simple—contact your local municipality to understand which bylaws apply to you. Whether you are just starting or have been in business for years, compliance is critical. Municipal officials can conduct inspections at any time, and non-compliance can lead to your business being shut down. No one wants that!   By understanding and following local bylaws is crucial for the long-term success of your business. Since each area’s rules differ, staying informed will help you keep your business thriving. Stay compliant and keep your business running smoothly!
