Maximize your work day

How do you make more money in the salon industry? You can increase your prices, work more hours or you can maximize every appointment on your books! What do I mean by that? As service providers it is important to dive deep into what our guests are looking for and provide the best solution.

So how do we do this? It all starts with a THOROUGH consultation. Find out what your guest's needs are by using photos, asking open ended questions and talking about their routine of at home care. Doing a thorough consultation helps you make better recommendations and gain the client's trust. This will lead to a connection and give you the confidence to suggest ideas, products and your guest will feel truly cared for. So THAT'S how you maximize your day at the salon! Make the MOST of EVERY appointment!
