TIP #2: Deep clean

A really good clean. Clean under rugs, clean mirrors, skirting boards, blinds. Doesn’t it feel better to drive a freshly clean and vacuumed car? It’s the same with your salon, pick up the energy with a fresh, clean business. A fragrant spray of essential oils gives a healthy and fresh feeling. Clean and fresh is certainly uplifting.

TIP #3: Power up

Activate your working environment in a symbolic way. An idea to improve your business is to create power spots so that you can consciously focus on what’s important to you. Have objects which are meaningful to you. Item which can “speak” to you and trigger thoughts about your goals and aspirations. In your work area and behind your reception desk, which is out of site to your clients you may place any items, whether it be special gifts, photographs, coins, seashell, affirmation cards, etc. Some people carry items like a small stone in their pocket. These items are all to generate ideas, memories, positive energy and increase feelings of personal power and confidence. The symbolic associations can help you focus on areas of your life and business which are most important to you.

Tip #4 Motivate your Staff

The goal of business communication is to improve performance and reduce risk. When your staff understand how they can add value, they have a goal to strive for and they thrive. And you get what you expect. Now we all agree that without clients we do not have a business. To succeed remember that your fellow Therapists are most important. People are number 1. Without adequate staff or with unskilled Therapists you run the risk of losing business. Their actions, motivations and communications are the driving force behind a Great business. To exceed expectations, it is critical to give power and authority to your Beauty Therapists. They will enthusiastically proclaim their approval of your products and services and highly recommend the right treatments and solutions for your clients. It speaks volumes when employees are happy and applauding your services. As a team the value you offer your clients will determine your long term success.
