Biz by Nadine C. LeGrand
As the beauty industry evolve there is a
significant change in the way beauty salons
and some barber shops operate in business
today. In fact, if you haven't paid close
attention to the latest trends in providing
services to your customers you can risk
loosing them because your salon doesn't
measure up to the new wave of modern Day
Spa salons. Unless, you are like me then
you are reading magazines like American
Spa, Massage, and the American Salon just
to name a few. The publications show
you how Day Spas are designed to capture
the mind, body, and spirit of the individual
customer. Therefore you discover that in
this era that a traditional beauty salon
can lack the ability to excite and stimulate
the senses of the patron leaving your
customer vulnerable to the your competition
which might be a Zen inspired Day Spa
across the street where they can get a
Seaweed Body Wrap and facial. Then
to top it all off a splendid glass of imported
red wine from Australia. Now. How does
that sound. Great! In essence you should explore all the possibilities of improving your
business to create your own Spa
atmosphere. From changing the decor to
offering spa created treatments. For treatment ideas visit www.bellalucce.com and www.dayspawarehouse.com for spa products, retail & display kits, and profit packages.
New Trend Of Salons: The Salon Plazas
by Nadine C. LeGrand
Another new trend coming up all over the
place are the New Salon Plazas. When you
notice one of these going up in your area
you may be in trouble. I had a conversation
with a friend who owns a salon on a strip
mall not to far from a Salon Plaza. She told
me that she lost most of her operators to
this kind of concept.
If you are not offering your operators an
incentive to stay put you might wake up
one day to realize that you are the only
operator in the salon. Salon Plazas offer
the ambitious beauty & barber professional
the opportunity to operate their own
business under a trade name within a
suite setting. You have privacy and can
work any day of the week as long as you
want and you get to meet new people in
your field. A little word from the wise. Keep
up with the ever changing beauty market.
Read the publications I mentioned earlier
to find out what new trends are surfacing
in beauty products and services that will
improve your business as well as advance
your career. For more information call 1800-
