Beauty Salon Software - Which One?
Does the day to day running of your salon leave you little time to keep up to date records of all your clients, how much they've spent, their preferences, their treatment history?
Having a salon software application to help manage your salon or spa can be a really big help.
There are a lot of very good vendors around.
Selecting the ideal application for you of course depends on many factors.
- The size of your salon.
- Your budget.
- WHAT YOU WANT TO ACHIEVE.
Here's what's important.
Whatever application you choose, it is ONLY a TOOL.
A TOOL to help you SAVE TIME, MAKE MORE MONEY and MAKE YOUR LIFE EASIER.
There should be no other reason.
And your selection should be primarily based on certainty that the use of the application will GIVE YOU A RETURN.
Not how many widgets it has, not who pretty it looks, not how many bells and whistles it has.
And here's another important point.
Do NOT fall into the trap that a ANY piece of beauty salon software is going to suddenly increase your new flow of salon clients, get them spending more and returning more often.
The only way that will happen is IF you couple what the salon software does for you with better marketing.
So, for example.
If the software lets you track people's birthdays (and you couldn't do that before without a piece of paper) and creates a list of clients with a birthday in a particular month and tells you.
You CAN the send those clients a birthday card, thanking them for their custom, wishing them a Happy Birthday and offering them a Birthday gift of some kind - a value added treatment perhaps...
That WILL get a section of those clients back in to spend more money, it will increase their satisfaction and you can bet ya bottom dollar few if any other salons/spas are doing that!

Encouraging Your Hairdressing Team and Improving Salon Business
In such a competitive industry salon owners can find it increasingly hard to keep their salon business growing. With most high streets offering a selection of hair and beauty salons, gaining the edge can prove difficult. A few simple points to remember can help salon owners head in the right direction and continue towards running a successful salon business.
As hairdressing is such an interpersonal profession your company image, ethics and ultimately its success are often completely in the hands of the salons employees. Therefore it's crucial that a sound hairdressing team is established first, regardless of its size. It goes without saying that the whole team should be well mannered, enthusiastic and reliable as well as being passionate about hairdressing. Staff will encounter customers from all walks of life and the ability to engage with them all is of the utmost importance whether you're a salon manager or a weekend assistant.
Motivation
When a salon has the basis of a strong team it can be easy for salon owners to sit back and watch the salon flourish over the coming months and believe that the job is done. However, it is important to consider the long-term success of the salon and not to neglect the team helping to bring this success. Motivation is probably the single most important factor required to keep a team and business operating effectively. Whether it's a simple "well done" at the end of a day or more complex reward schemes, the need to acknowledge staff on positive performance is equally as important as addressing a problem, and often overlooked.
Salons can quickly establish their individual position within the community offering techniques or styles that suit the local clientele. However, as a result it can be easy for employees to become disheartened at carrying out the same work, day in day out. Importantly this can be most true in valuable, ambitious, creative hairdressers who are constantly looking to improve and progress in hairdressing.
Keeping the team eager
Salon owners and managers must play an active role in keeping team morale up ensuring that all employees remain focussed and motivated.
Ways to help improve staff morale include:
Photo shoots and magazine work.
This type of opportunity creates a great buzz in the salon. They involve the whole team and give stylists the ability to show off their hairdressing skills. Sometimes also providing the company with national recognition.
Hairdressing shows.
A trip to a salon show is an excellent way to keep morale high. Shows such as Salon International provide employees with an insight into all area of modern hairdressing including demonstrations of the latest techniques and trends from leading hairdressing personalities.
Team building events and meetings.
From simple appraisals in the salon to organised trips away, team meetings probably provide the easiest and least expensive way of motivating staff as well as keeping management in touch with the feelings of individuals within the salon.
Reward schemes.
Most salons provide staff with retail sales or performance related bonuses. In most cases these successfully help generate extra revenue for the business as well as providing the hairdressing staff with added incentives. However, salon owners introducing schemes like this must ensure that the level of service in the salon doesn't begin to suffer as staffs desperately pursue a rewarding bonus. At times this can be overlooked due to the apparent improvements in sales but often it can have much longer lasting negative effects on business.
Bringing success
To enjoy the rewards that an effective hairdressing team can bring the need for active involvement of managers and salon owners should never be far away, even with the most reliable teams. Rest assured though that good planning and quality time invested in your team can prevent many future issues and will assist you on your journey towards running a highly profitable hairdressing business.
