Have some T-shirts made with your salon website address and other business information. Your family or friends could wear them almost anywhere. Your salon could get a lot of exposure online if one of your family members or friends wears your T-shirt to a crowded location or event.
Keep your loyal clients happy because they are your future profits. Give them discounts and free goodies as often as possible. If you are thoughtful and loyal to your clients, most of them will be your clients forever. They will make up about 80% of your salon business and profits.
Take on as many salon chores as you can handle and then outsource what you can't. This would involve outsourcing tasks to family, friends, va's or even another stylist working in your salon.
Only you can determine how your salon operates. You don't want too many people making all your decisions, but you don't want to take on so much responsibility that you become a workaholic. Everyone deserves a breather! :-)
Be more professional and ask, What do you need today? This will make them think about what they need at your salon. I want to also caution you to listen carefully to them and then repeat exactly what they need. It's your job to provide the solution to your client's concerns. A complete consultation is always necessary.:-)
