Hair Salons

Operating a Hair Salon Successfully

admin — Mon, 02 Aug 2010 10:05:00 +0000

Operating a hair salon is all about customer service. It is important your clients are taken care of very well of as they spend a short time in your salon. Basically they must feel at home away from home because the hair is a pride of a woman and they don’t joke about it.

So first thing is that the atmosphere must be welcoming; they must feel important whenever they enter your salon. Things that can be done to evoke such an environment is that someone could be at the door, greeting each client accordingly and make up small conversation being very polite. If this is even done by the owner it is an added plus. It will make the person feel at home. Another is that when the person is settled; offer them something to while away their time. It must be something that is generally liked, for instance tea.

Aside from that, make sure that you listen to the problems of the client and not run your mouth. You are there to service them and they pay you for it, so do that accordingly. And act on their problems, if they complain about an itch two weeks ago and you recommend a solution, enquire about it the next time they come around. It will make them you that you are concerned about their hair.

Also ensure that the hair, the main reason why they came to you, is done right. This includes the shampooing and styling. Most importantly, no customer likes to get themselves soaked wet after a shampoo; it discourages customers from taking a second visit to your hair salon. Ensure that the hair wash is so soothing that they literally fall asleep. It encourages a customer-owner relationship.

Another factor that is usually over looked is the outlook of the hair salon. It has to be spacious to accommodate the numbers that come in. It has to be comfortable. The chairs should massage their bodies and the materials used for the hair must be impeccably clean and hygienic.

How to Start a Hair Salon

admin — Sun, 01 Aug 2010 10:04:00 +0000

Starting a hair salon is not as easy as it seems. There has to be so many things that go into starting a hair salon because every site for location is different, in terms of the people and place of location.

Therefore the first and most important thing to do is to carry out a survey. This is important because, in order to effectively conduct the survey, one must strategically and carefully pose questions which will encourage answers and to stress on it, answers that are reliable. A benefit of this is that, through this survey one automatically builds a customer base and lures potential customers.

A survey alone doesn’t provide enough information to build on for starting a hair salon. This can also be achieved by studying other hair salons in that location who are your future competition. By studying these hair salons, one can gather information on how their customers feel about the services provided, how the hair salon runs the business and even through this process increase your customer base by enticing the customers. However, one must be warned that this must not be conducted in person. Instead someone you trust should handle this and more importantly the person has to be subtle in doing this. To avoid being suspected one can start up casual conversations and strike friendships with customers also the periods for visiting the salon has to be regulated in a way that it would not be obvious.

In this way, you can conduct indirect interviews with these customers or out of the salon you can freely interview them to obtain their opinion of the services provided and what they would have expected.

Focus groups are also a good way of getting the information you want on a hair salon business. It would be advantageous if a focus group leader guides these discussions which should be recorded for future reference. Through this, one can get a lot of information on what customers expect of hair salons.

Finally, one can simply fall upon previous surveys undertaken from a public library and research books on the steps one ought to take on starting a hair salon.

Products Salons Prefer

admin — Wed, 03 Feb 2010 08:31:26 +0000

Which products do salons prefer to use for washing and conditioning hair

Different salons have different preferences of hair and skin care products. A salon of Tony and Guy will, stating the obvious, use products by the brand Tony and Guy. There are salons that team up with L’Oreal for usage of only L’Oreal Products for hair and many salons that have a dealership or deal with L’Oreal, also sell, or in other words, act as distributors of L’Oreal products.

Washing and conditioning hair at salons are such a comfortable experience. And salons today, realize that people who come to wash their hair at their salon, like their hair to be treated to good shampoos and conditioners. Gone are the days where salons used to have shampoos in bottles that were not named or marked (any shampoo could be in a plastic bottle without markings; therefore the customer could not identify or know which shampoo is being used). This has happened in some salons but it is practically a thing of the past now.

Recently, with the stress laid on the right shampoo and conditioner, the salons are becoming savvy about the same and offer the best to their customers. With purely dedicated hair product brands like Schwarzkopf, American Crew and T&G, there is a wide pool to choose from for any kind and any texture of hair that is there.

Salons prefer to use products for washing and conditioning hair that are established names in the market. They also like using hair products that result in soft hair. More so, salons that are in dealership with hair product companies / brands like to use only those products that they are in affiliation with. That is an obvious phenomenon and a given; there are example cited above to prove this. One will know which products a salon used for hair wash, conditioning and more when one enters a salon. There will be products only of that brand (this is a common noticed aspects in most salons of the world) and this is a giveaway as to which brand is sported by which salon?

Best Hair Care Products

admin — Tue, 02 Feb 2010 08:31:21 +0000

Which hair products are the best for hair care

Hair products that suit your hair and hair type are the best for your hair. This depends and varies from individual to individual and this is a varied phenomenon. Hair products that are the best for hair care are products that suit the needs of your hair. If you have rough hair, then you need to use conditioner and shampoo for dry hair to get the brittleness out and the shine in! If you have oily hair, you need shampoos that soak in the excessive oil that is secreted by the sebaceous glands of your scalp and you need to use a non-greasy conditioner without residue, and it is a definite no on serum. Using serum will only aggravate the oily scalp and result in acne.

The best hair products for hair care are many but the important thing is to understand what suits your hair type. The good news for all of you out there is that today, nearly every conceivable hair product brand has a variety to offer everyone with every type and texture of hair. For instance, L’Oreal will have a pool of products for every hair type and that suits every hair cut and style as well. With competition comes bigger and better variety that gets offered to consumers. The suggestion that would be ideal for all of those on the lookout for good hair products is to take the time and have the patience to read and understand the products of different brands before making a conclusive choice.

There are wonderful products that can be used or applied on hair post washing and conditioning. There are hair tonics that support the growth of supple and well-balanced hair that looks bright and shiny. An example is the Sha-tone- A toning hair lotion/tonic by the internationally renowned Shehnaz Hussain. There are many more that compliment hair and give a good sheen to it post wash and conditioning. Serums are not always recommended as they leave a residue that is greasy on the hair. The god thing about hair tonics like the Sha-tone is that there is no residue left and when one reads the details behind the products, one gets encouraged to become a regular user of the same, with the wonderful effects that the toning lotion has on the scalp and hair of an individual.
