For Salon Stylists?

How do you maximize your in-salon productivity?For Salon Stylists?
Treat your client to a conditioning treatment as an introduction to the benefits of it. Tell them what you normaly charge %26amp; that it's on you. The next time suggest that same treatment. It works. Just keep suggesting it each service.You give a little. But It's paying for itself in the long run...


Also ask your salon rep for the beauty supply for samples of the products you sell in the salon. This not only encourages your client to buy the product but you are giving them something they should use. Clients love free stuff. They feel like their getting cared for.


Try booking your clients in advance at the end of every service. This not only ensures they get service but your gauranteed another time slot to be filled.


Try doing an incentive for your clients to refer people to you. Offer them another service like a manicure if they refer you 2 or more clients. Or maybe give a percentage off their next service...





I've found that when I give a little the client gives more back...





Go around the salon where clients are getting other services done (like a manicure) and introduce yourself. Tell them who you are. Tell them what you can do. Hand them your card. I've had many clients from doing this.





Get out there and promote yourself. Always carry your business cards %26amp; hand them out. Frequent some of the local businesses around the area. Don't be shy. tell them what you can do.





Always take records of your clients and have them fill out their info.Including their adresses %26amp; phone numbers. Send them coupons if you haven't seen them in a while. Or just a little note that shows you care for their business. Write down some of the things you talk about with them so your reminded about things ( like if their daughter was getting married or a vacation they were on) ( Or even how they like their coffee) Those are the little things but clients remember that stuff %26amp; feel special.





Recently for my new clients I send a postcard they day after the service to thank them %26amp; personalize it in my own way. It almost always gets them back for more service...





Clients always want the best treatment. Encourage them to get other services in the salon. Your co- workers need business too. I'm sure they would do the same for you.





Always remember you provide service. That's what clients are there for. Clients feel better when their remembered, valued, and most importantly heard. Pay attention to what they like. Listen to what they are saying. This is important because it is all about them.


Hope that helps. Sorry for writing too much...For Salon Stylists?
You should look into the Wyane Grund business teachings, very insightful. Do you want to be the stylist that waits for the busy bus to come or the one who fills their chair. Start booking all clients in advance, like their next apt or even next two at the time of their last apt. Its like they think oh no she's so busy I might not get in so then your filling your chair.
Carefully booking clientele according to how long you take with each one( i.e., if you take 15 minutes to apply a color to one client and 30 minutes to apply another, then you could book the two 30 minutes apart and apply the second while the first is processing) or (if you do more than one person in a family you could book them together and work on them at the same time).If any chemical service has a processing time of 45 minutes then you coul allow yourself a simple haircut (mens or childs) during the processing time. All this of course as long as they show up on time for you.
