A salon owner’s life is hard.

You had a vision for your salon.

But instead of creating the salon of your dreams,you spend your days refereeing disputes and arguing with stylists about folding towels, sweeping hair and selling retail.

This isn’t what you signed up for.

Did you know that there are salons where the booth renters and the salon owners happily work together to achieve goals for the common good of the salon?

Wouldn’t you like to join this select group of happy, prosperous and serene salon owners?

To have a healthy and productive relationship with your booth renters?

To spend your days working to grow your business, not just trying to hold it together?

You need a contract.

This is the first in a series of how to use social media to market your salon business.

Are you on Twitter? Twitter is suddenly HUGE, posting growth of nearly 1400% in February. Twitter attracts more than 6 million unique visitors and 55 million hits every month.

What does this mean to your salon? Your clients are on Twitter and you should be, too. Oh and BTW, Twitter is free to use.

Have you thought about using email to stay in touch with  your clients, but  haven’t gotten started yet? Does putting it together seem too complicated? You are not alone. The vast majority of hair stylists are not emailing or texting to their clients, missing out on this great opportunity to market for free! But it’s not too late for you.  In fact, email could help you make a lot more money this year!

Here’s why –

How many businesses send you emails? A bunch, I bet.  A quick glance at my inbox would show you email from American Airlines, Off-Broadway Show Warehouse, Restaurants.com, ITunes, Pizza Hut and Gourmet Magazine as well as a number of newsletters from different groups I belong to. Why do they do this? It’s an inexpensive way to stay in touch with me with great offers and details of upcoming events. Even if I don’t read them all, I see their name every time I open my email. It’s useful information that is cheap for them to distribute and easy for me to read.

How can this work for you?

Is your salon selling gift certificates? You should be. Gift certificates can be the biggest money making opportunity your salon has this holiday season. Easy to use and give, gift certificates can do wonders to grow your salon business.

Did you dream of owning a salon only to wake up to the nightmare of dealing with a booth renter who is making your life hell? She refuses to fold the towels, doesn’t sell retail because she’s an “Artist”, keeps asking when you are going to do some advertising and reminds you constantly that you can’t tell her what to do because she’s an independent contractor.

All of this stomach-churning drama could be avoided if you had a contract. Not just a “we agree to 2 weeks notice before you leave” contract, but a agreement that outlines standards of expected behavior.
