It’s that time of year again Beauty Boss!

It’s December, which means everyone’s favourite Beauty Boss event, Secret Sister, is back!

Father Christmas STEP ASSIDE, this one is for the girls! 

Not been part of Secret Sister before? Don’t worry, let us explain:

It’s basically our spin on 'Secret Santa', where you buy a fellow beauty boss a gift -  and they don't know who it's from! 

We held our first Secret Sister initiative in 2021, and it was such a success, and is now a firm part of our company.

If you want to take part in gifting a fellow beauty boss, the first thing to know; is that the budget is only £10, we wanted to make it super affordable for you all. There are lots of adorable things you can get for £10 on the high street, and online.

The budget is £10.00 - of course if you go over, that's up to you!

The Business Mentor Nominations Are In!

 

The beginning of this week started with the excitement that our very own 'Boss' has been nominated for an industry award!

Layla Tourh, AKA ''Beauty Boss'' has been short-listed as a finalist for the Business Mentor Award, by Scratch Nail Magazine, as they prepare for this years Scratch Stars Awards.

Layla Tourh says ''Honestly, there are so many amazing mentors in our industry now - I’m just so pleased that there’s a new category for us that are all trying to help salon owners be the very best they can be! - because girls is players too!''.

We felt it was a public service to remind everyone the sort of things Layla has done recently, and why we think Layla should be crowned Queen for this industry first category:

  Layla offered a two week programme ''Lockdown With Layla'', FREE of charge, to salon owners that were seeking confidence and structure whilst their beauty businesses were closed during the Pandemic. This resulted in thousands of...

How to deal with competition

Christmas is approaching fast! In the next couple of months when we hope on being busy, we plan on making extra revenue, and we plan on getting new clients. What we don't know is how the competition is going to lessen our success in the coming months. So what can we do about it?

Your first step should be to determine who your competitors are. Is it the salon across the street? Is it that new place that opened up next door? Or is it the salon that has a fantastic social media page? There is no need to worry about beauty businesses in your area that are quiet or see the same number of clients as you do every day. You want to know what salon your potential clients would rather go to, even if it's not too close to your location. A salon with incredible branding and social media presence, one that does amazing treatments for good prices. You want to find the salon that appears so popular that you wouldn't be surprised if they had a waiting list.

If you don't feel that this salon is your...

salon support Sep 09, 2022

24 hours after the sad news that Queen Elzabeth II had died, we wanted to help support our community as they prepare for a day of repeating the same conversation with clients, having their energy compromised, and LOTS of tears.

We put together some POSITIVE points to discuss with clients today, maybe this will help with the energy in the salon over the next few days: 

                                                          

  • Queen Elizabeth served in World War Two, by joining the Women’s Auxiliary Service.

  • Queen Elizabeth supported more than 600 charities and raised over 1.4 billion.
  • Under the Crowns Act (2013), Queen Elizabeth put an end to the system of male primogeniture, under which a younger son...

Is it time to close your salon on Saturdays?

Should salons close on Saturdays? This question must seem like the obvious answer is no, but is it really?

In the salon world, it is tradition to make sure every staff member works the Saturday shift because Saturdays are the busiest and high earning days of the week, right? Well our statistics tell us otherwise!

It has been reported that there are a lot of salons that find that Saturdays are the third if not fourth busiest day of the week. If you actually think about it, what day of the week earns the least or usually goes wrong? Staff members calling in sick, clients are not wanting to buy any retail products because they’re in ‘’out out’’ mode; and did you know that clients are much less likely to tip! This is because on a Saturday, they want to keep hold of their loose cash to use for their Saturday night out!

We know that even our clients plans can go wrong from time to time, and so whats the first thing they go and cancel if their Saturday night...

Stress Within Salon Teams

With the current skill shortage in salons, we wanted to take a deep dive into what you can do, to make sure your current team is feeling valued, thus more likely to stay!

This might seem incredibly obvious, but it is often overlooked- workplace stress. 

Stress in the workplace can really affect many variables in a business, like the quality of service, atmosphere, team relations, sales, and even employee turnover. Of course, the last thing anyone wants is to lose valuable staff members.

If you want to know how to build and maintain a happy salon to get only the best out of your team, then here’s what you do:

 Change How You Get Started

I’m not talking about your personal morning routine when you wake up, I’m talking about how you begin work for the day. Some of the best beauty businesses are ones that spend the first 15/20 minutes in the morning planning the day ahead and spending the mornings as a team. Within that time, you and the team can share...
