hile January might be a bit of an anti climax for many people, I find it’s the perfect time to reassess my work and goals. With all the doom and gloom in the media surrounding the economy and high street, it’s easy to get caught up in the January blues. But don’t. This year, make sure you’re ready for the 12 months ahead – however tough they might be – by using this down time wisely.

So for those of you who are geared up for a lucrative 2012, we’ve enlisted some top experts to create an A to Z guide of new business ideas, starting on page 48. Whether you’ve got your finger on the pulse or are a bit shy when it comes to trying out fresh strategies, I’m confident you’ll find something inspiring. So from free marketing angles to building a loyal fan base, make this year the time to really diversify your moves and actions to attract as many clients as possible.

Speaking of diversity, we’re also dedicated to finding ways to help you grow your client base. And with the growing number of ethnic minorities in the UK, this month we’ve sought out those salon owners that are making the most of a more cosmopolitan target market. So if you think you’ve got room for improvement in this area, turn to page 38 for some expert advice.

Meanwhile, with Valentine’s Day just around the corner, now is the perfect time to consider some romance-inspired promotions.

In our feature, starting on page 42, we’ve masterminded a range of new treatments, products and ideas to help your salon stand out from the crowd. Full service salons are in

a fantastic position to offer add-on services and cross promotions for clients that want quick-fix results. However, for those salons that specialise in one area, there’s also scope to include quick and easy services to help bump up the total cost of all your clients’ overall bills. And that’s without mentioning gift ideas and retailing.

Last but not least, it wouldn’t be a New Year without a few new additions to the magazine. First up, Sean Dawson’s highly popular Manager Pro column has been taken over by Sara Holmes, co-owner of the Stuart Holmes Hair and Beauty Spa in Cheltenham, which has seen phenomenal success over the past 12 months. In her first instalment, Holmes discusses the importance of offering every client a VIP service and reveals some pointers she acquired from a stint working for luxury hotels. Furthermore, with the growing trend for advanced beauty treatments, we’ve added a new monthly aesthetics page to our new products section to help you keep up to date with the ever-advancing world of medically backed beauty treatments.

So from everyone at The Salon Magazine we’d like to wish you a very happy New Year. With some shrewd ideas, positivity and business planning, we’re hoping this will be your best one yet.

Hob Salons celebrates triple hat trick at the British Hairdressing Awards as it enters the hall of fame three times

L

ondon’s Hob Salons wiped the floor at last month’s British Hairdressing Awards (BHAs) winning three titles – all for the third time – landing the 23-salon group a triple entry into the prestigious hall of fame.

First its Creative Team – which includes Sean Dawson, Claire Dawson and Darren Bain – was crowned Artistic Team of the Year, joining its trophies from 2008 and 2009. Member Christel Lundqvist also picked up the award for British Colour Technician of the Year, which she has won for three consecutive years. Finally, beating off stiff competition from the most talented hairdressers in the UK, Hob director Akin Konizi was presented with the award for British Hairdresser of the Year – an accolade he also secured in 2008 and 2009.

All three winners will join a list of

esteemed hairdressing greats meaning they can’t enter their category in the future.

Konizi says: “I was thrilled to not only win the British Hairdresser of the Year award, but also the Artistic Team of the Year and Colour award - all for a third time.

Words cannot describe how proud the team at Hob Salons is to be recognised as the best in Britain, and we look forward to flying the flag for British hairdressing over the next year. Thank you to everyone for their amazing support.”

Attended by over 1,750 industry insiders, this year’s BHAs, which were held at Park Lane’s swanky Grosvenor House hotel, was compared by television star Jonathan Ross. X Factor finalist Marcus Collins, who was a stylist at Liverpool’s Jonathan James salon until recently, took to the stage as a special guest presenting Newcomer of the Year Jasmine Redstone of Rush in Croydon with her award.

Meanwhile I Need a Dollar singer Aloe Blacc provided the crowd with some musical entertainment.

Among this year’s other winners were Men’s Hairdresser of the Year Jamie Stevens, Afro Hairdresser Junior Green, Avant Garde Hairdresser Indira Schauwecker from Toni and Guy London and Ken Picton for Wales and South West Hairdresser of the Year.

Jayne Lewis-Orr, publisher and editor in chief of organiser Hairdressers Journal International, says: “British hairdressing is renowned throughout the world for its creativity and innovation, and with the British Hairdressing Awards we continue to recognise, reward and celebrate the best of British. The standard of entries in all categories this year was incredible and the judges had a really difficult job.

Congratulations to all the finalists and winners who truly are the best of British.”

INDUSTRY UPDATE Beauty store manager scoops £10,000 prize

Linda Moore from Sally Salon Services in Swindon has been awarded £10,000 after being named the firm’s Top Store Manager. Her new title was announced during a Sex and the City themed Winners Weekend event at Whittlebury Hall in Northampton at the end of November held by the company to recognise its top performing staff. All of its 272 store managers were eligible to compete for the accolade and were given the chance to bag a number of other awards that celebrate specialist areas such as sales, customer service and promotional success.

Sally Beauty Holdings’ managing director Richard Hull, who was there to present Moore with the prize, says: “The Winners Weekend is an opportunity for us to recognise our amazing staff who work so hard to deliver the best possible service and expert advice to our customers. Linda’s contribution to our business has been outstanding this year.”

Skincare innovations are being ignored by fatigued consumers, reveals new report According to recent research from data analyst Elemis expert Datamonitor, consumers are becoming so befuddled by the scale of new skincare and bodycare launches that almost half (49 per cent) are failing to notice them at all.

The Future of Skincare: Consumption Trends and Product Preferences report also suggests that the claims being made by many brands aren’t being heard - leading to 55 per cent of consumers sticking to tried and tested brands they know and trust instead of trying out new innovations. Michaela Peck, report author and analyst at Datamonitor, explains: “Our research shows that consumers are becoming fatigued by the amount of product choice on offer. This leads to an unfavourable situation with customers ‘reverting to type’ and choosing to ignore product innovation.”

According to the report, consumers want “freshness, purity and professional recommendation by medical professionals”, which is something is says they’re not getting from many product houses. “The need for skincare brands to better engage with consumers is evident,” continues Peck. “Companies need to address the confusion and frustration that results from overextended product lines and ensure that customers understand the true value of the product.” But it’s not all bad news: those that do get it right stand to reap rich rewards as Datamonitor predicts the market is ripe for increase across the globe.

Winter-proof digits Cold air and central heating spells trouble for your clients’ skin and nails.

But with the right professional treatments, advice and home care, optimum beauty is well within reach

W

inter isn’t just a minefield for our hair and faces.

Exposed to the elements, subzero temperatures take their toll on our hands and nails too while neglected feet, put out of sight and mind, become starved of proper care.

“During the winter the skin becomes very dehydrated while the nails become brittle and break easily,” says Georgie Smedley, director of Nail Harmony UK. “So in the cold weather, both need a little extra TLC.” Cold temperatures in fact lead to poor blood circulation. Kelly Winterburn, one of CND’s UK education ambassadors, explains: “As a result the skin doesn’t get enough nutrients and oxygen and all the healthy, regenerative processes slow down leading it to lose its healthy colour and become dull or pale.”

But it’s not just the cold weather that inflicts the damage. Similar to the process posed on winter hair and skin, switching from freezing outside temperatures to centrally heated rooms wreaks havoc on the nails too. “When you shift between the two the difference is so big and stressful for your skin that it naturally cannot balance itself quickly enough,” adds Winterburn.

“This results in loss of hydration, irritation, widened capillaries and redness. All of this contributes to your skin’s misbalance, stress, sensitivity and dryness. The same thing can happen to your nails making them dry and flaky.”

To the rescue

So how can salons help clients minimise the effects? Smedley says nail professionals need to “instil the necessity” for regular hand and nail maintenance in

30 | www.cimltd.co.uk

Aveda

the minds of their customers. “This is also a great way of increasing business during the colder months,” she says. Meanwhile, Carly Marsden, ambassador for Bio Sculpture, advises offering a free hand massage using the appropriate cream after every nail treatment as standard during the cold months. “The extra attention to the nails and skin will soon sort the problem out,” she says, “especially if they’re able to continue using a cream and cuticle treatment at home.”

For Laura Hughes, national education manager for Grafton International, the best way to treat clients in the winter is to upscale your basic manicure and pedicures to luxurious and indulgent services. “Salons should introduce paraffin wax, hot oil, masks and exfoliation,” she says. “Exfoliation helps remove the dead skin before moisturising and makes a huge difference when applying hand creams and lotions.”

For neglected winter feet, the experts also suggest more winter-warming extras

and extra moisture for maximum results.

Winterburn even suggests customising your services with a selection of products to suit their needs. She says: “Try seasonal services in winter such as a customised CND SpaManicure or SpaPedicure. Or go one step further and incorporate a heat treatment such as paraffin wax or heated mitts or booties; adding heat will really get the circulation going.”

Meanwhile, for Smedley, sprinkling some unadulterated luxury into every service will help put the spring back into every client’s step. “Try adding a warming foot massage with aromatherapy oils, before placing the hands or feet into heated mitts or booties,” she says. “This will be enjoyable for the client while encouraging the skin to absorb the oils.”

Additionally, Marsden suggests incorporating a mini body massage to make it “extra special”. She says: “There’s always extra time when the moisturiser is soaking in so why not try a leg, arm or even shoulder massage? This will really relax your client and make the treatment feel luxurious.”

Finally, no winter hand and foot care service is complete without suggesting some great retail products so clients can continue the good work at home.

“Homecare is a must - not only for our profit margin, but for the upkeep of your treatments,” says Winterburn. “Remember it doesn’t have to be about the hard sell, we are simply providing the client with items she would more than likely buy on the high street. So why not increase your profits and also help the client achieve the best results with items that are specifically designed for them?”

ETHNIC HAIR AND BEAUTY

Beyond the pale

Images courtesy of Junior Green

As the UK becomes increasingly cosmopolitan, savvy salon owners are fine-tuning their menus to cater for a wider variety of ethnic groups

A

ccording to estimations from the Office of National Statistics, the UK’s ethnic population now stands at nine million people. Moreover, we also have the fastest growing mixed race population in the world. So when it comes to catering for a multicultural client base, how adaptable is your salon menu?

Ethnic groups of course have varying skin and hair types so whether they’re European, Asian, Hispanic or AfricanCaribbean, ensuring that your team can cater for their individual needs is essential if you want to widen your target market.

Salon owner Junior Green, who recently won Afro Hairdresser of the Year 2011 at the British Hairdressing Awards, thinks ethnic cllients offer great potential for properly trained hairdressers. “The market is growing in certain areas and these clients are in need of professional hair stylists that can cater for their hair type,” he says. “Catering for these markets is a great way to bring in extra revenue.”

Training is of course key in hairdressing

38 | www.cimltd.co.uk

if you’re looking to service a multicultural clientbase properly. “It’s paramount that salon owners send team members for training,” says Green. “Staff must be confident in all areas to successfully carry out these types of services.”

For beauty salons, while it is not always necessary to send staff on additional training courses, it’s important that they’re aware of the differing needs from culture to culture. While white skin can age more rapidly thanks to sun damage, darker skin types come with their own sets of potential problems. Tracey Tamaris, UK director of training for iiaa and Environ, explains: “Black skin is particularly vulnerable to keloid scarring and to pigmentation issues following trauma.

It needs more careful treatment when it comes to treating problematic and congested skin. Meanwhile oriental people are lucky that their skin ages more slowly in appearance because of the higher levels of beta-carotene that is naturally present.

It’s important that therapists are aware of the differences.”

Likewise for nail technicians, specialist training obviously isn’t a requirement to service ethnic clients. However, with nail enhancements and nail art being widely embraced by many diverse cultures, expanding your target market could be a lucrative move. “An understanding is required of these cultural attitudes towards nail decoration, styles and colours as they can represent different things to different ethnic backgrounds,” explains Georgie Smedley, director of Nail Harmony UK. “It’s absolutely vital that salons do their research and homework.”

So as soon as you’ve put plans in place to cater for a more diverse market, spreading the word among the community is essential to draw in a new network of clients. “Good communication is key,” says Smedley. “Talk to your suppliers and ask how they can help you promote their products with POS material and marketing literature. Good publicity is so vitally important to get the ball rolling and then, as is the case in most ethnic communities, word of mouth travels fast.”

ideas for

Valentine’s CROSS PROMOTIONS

Help clients look beautiful for their Valentine’s Day date by offering a range of quick-fix beauty services. Wow Factor’s Britta Brooker suggests a series of cross promotions to maximise bookings such as a free retail item with every waxing service or a half price spray tan with every lash appointment. She says: “Try offers that will make coming to you more tempting. Use either a cross selling strategy or refer a friend scheme to increase your customer base.”

COUPLES’ SERVICES

BEAUTIFYING TREATMENTS

Indulgent services couples can experience together – such as a massage in a dual treatment room – will make great date alternatives for Valentine’s Day. Julia Gaudio, owner of Elajè Hair and Beauty salon in Cambridge, recommends offering a special reduction rate to entice double bookings: “This is a fantastic way for a couple to spend time to together relaxing. And offering a 25 per cent reduction, for example, will really boost interest.”

Or, if you’re a full service salon, why not offer a complete pampering overhaul deal? The Aveda Institute in Holborn will be offering its guests a threehour package next month for £145 including an aqua body polish, Lava Shell back massage, fingernail shape and paint, blow-dry served with champagne and chocolates followed by a make-up application touch up.

DECADENT FOOD AND DRINK

Make Valentine’s Day extra special by serving your clients luxury food and drink. La Maison du Chocolat’s Heart Shaped chocolate box will get everyone talking (from £19 Lamaisonduchocolate.co.uk), especially if it’s washed down with a glass of pink fizz such as Nicolas Feuillatte’s classic Rosé NV champagne (from £19 at Tesco). Or, as a nonalcoholic alternative, try the Les Amoureux gift box from Chateau Rouge, which contains two romance-inspired aromatic teas.

HEARTS AND FLOWERS NAIL ART Special nail services are a great way to drive extra revenue around Valentine’s Day. Why not take it a step further and offer a series of nail art designs? CND ambassador Justine Crick suggests using L&P, Shellac in Wildfire and red glitter to create a combination of block colour and glitter nails with love heart designs, as pictured right (Sweetsquared.com).

Flirties lashes

LUXE LASHES

With all the gazing into their true love’s eyes, professional eyelash services can be a huge hit among clients in February.

Gaudio says: “Lash extensions are a selling point for hot dates and ladies wanting to make a real feature of their eyes.” For high impact, Wow Factor’s Flirties extensions come in a wide variety of curls, shapes and lengths so you can offer clients a bespoke finish.

Or, for extra drama, its strip lashes are guaranteed to get them noticed (Tel: 01888 563 150 Wowproducts.co.uk)

Launched last year, Glitzy Lips bring the idea of nail foils to clients’ mouths for results that are perfect for Valentine’s. Easy to apply and wear, the foil covering is available in a range of styles and shades and promises to stay put for eight hours.

Starter pack £13.25 + VAT/ RRP £15 per client; Tel: 0845 210 6060 Sweetsquared.com

A MATCH MADE IN HEAVEN If you’d like to boost the overall allure of any special Valentine’s promotions, Daniela Chandler, director of the SK Clinic and Spa in Cheltenham, recommends linking up with local complementary businesses. “Partnering with established restaurants or hotels to offer joint experiences is a fabulous way to reach a wider audience,” she says.

“Couples looking to get away can take advantage of a hotel and salon package while those local to the area can enjoy a professional beauty treat followed by a romantic meal at a nearby restaurant.”

ANTI-VALENTINE’S SERVICES

Who says Valentine’s promotions should only be targeted at couples? Involve all your clients – especially those without a significant other – with tongue-in-cheek service ideas that will make them smile.

CND ambassador Sarah Maden from Manchester suggests enticing in groups of female friends by offering luxe treatments with quirky names such as the Who needs a man manicure, Perfect and Proud Pedicure or Single Ladies Shellac.

We’ve all heard about the perils of business owners who’ve signed up to Groupon and been left out of pocket.

However, if you can find the right deal site, put a cap on what you’re offering and only target new customers, you could reap many rewards – not just in repeat business, but retail sales too.

HOST AN EVENT

Open days are a great way to introduce potential clients to new services and they don’t always have to cost a fortune to hold. “Start adding incentives for clients to come through the door,” says Tracy Tamaris, the iiaa’s director of training. “A great way to do this is by creating activities within the salon, such as free skin analysis events. This is an excellent tool to increase sales, introduce new clients onto a skincare range and to update recommendations for existing ones. It also gives clients the proof that they are not wasting their money.”

GET INVOLVED IN COMPETITIONS

Mondo

Entering competitions is positive whether your team members place or not. Not only can it improve their skills, but certain awards will result in business tools that can be used in the future, such as hair collections from photographic entries.

Saks

INVEST IN EDUCATION

You have to speculate to accumulate and investing in skills is one of the best ways to get ahead.

“Not everyone is able or capable to train in new skills, so doing so will result in less competition for your business,” says Sterex’s Elaine Stoddard. “Once you’ve paid for the course there’s no further overheads resulting in pure profit. Plus, you’ll have that skill for life.”

FOCUS ON LOYALTY

Instead of aiming to generate new clients all the time, shift the focus onto retaining your regulars. “We’re going to continue making sure our existing clients receive information, offers, benefits and other incentives that aren’t available to new customers,” says Hellen Ward, director at the Richard Ward Hair and Metro Spa. “We feel that rewarding loyalty will be even more important in the year to come.”

NEW CUSTOMERS

How can you ensure all your new customers are happy? Start gathering feedback now and aim to do better. “We’re spending much more time getting feedback from much-valued new clients to ensure we’ve met and exceeded their expectations,” says Ward.

FREE MARKETING OPPORTUNITIES

Many product suppliers offer their customers a free listing on their website. Ensure you feature in as many ‘find a salon’ sections as possible to receive redirected client traffic.

JOIN IN

Whether it’s an industry organisation, product house art team or special community project, make joining in a priority to get your business noticed.

MAKE THE CLIENT KING

From holding open the door to remembering how they take their tea, make every client a VIP and listen to the till ring when they return.

CREATE A KNOCK OUT MENU

If you only offer hair treatments, think about delving into the world of beauty.

Even if you don’t have much space, a mobile nail tech that can visit each hair station can be great for boosting interest and revenue. “A varied treatment menu is the key to salon success,” says Alison Reeve at Palms Extra. “Having plenty of different treatments means you can offer clients an entire package of beauty rituals.

Beware that if they cannot get all treatments under one roof they’ll just go elsewhere.”

PUBLIC RELATIONS

If you have the budget, enlist the professionals to create a recession-busting PR strategy. If not, build your salon’s profile among potential customers yourself by investing in time to engage with the public via social media, blogs and your local press.

QUESTIONNAIRES

Not sure what your clients want? Devise a questionnaire and ask – it’s the best way to find out.

REASSESS YOUR OPENING TIMES

Keep one-step ahead of the competition next year by making your services available at times that suit your clients. “Opening hours should be geared towards your clients, not your staff,” says Jamie Brooks, co-owner of London salon Brooks and Brooks. “Late nights and Sunday openings are important. Clients should be able to have hair and beauty appointments when they want them.”

UTILISE AWARDS AND STANDARDS

VALUE FOR MONEY

Assessing your team’s skills through industry bodies will ensure they’re working towards the right benchmark. Nergish Wadia Austin, founder of PHAB Standard, says: “It is the duty of a salon owner to take responsibility for their teams’ skills. PHAB’s continued effort to develop management tools, like the online PHAB Professionalism and Customer Service Exams (PPCSE), will drive business productivity and professionalism forward.”

In today’s challenging climate, there’s never been a bigger emphasis on offering value for money.

Brooks says: “Ensure you offer add-on services such as complimentary fringe trims. We’ll also be adding a T-section colour option to our menu so clients can stretch time between appointments.”

OFFER EXPRESS TREATMENTS

Quick results-driven beauty treatments – such as manicures and eyelash extensions – can be a great way to boost revenue. And better still, you don’t need a dedicated treatment room to offer them.

MANAGER PRO

Going the extra mile New columnist Sara Holmes, co-owner of the Stuart Holmes Hair and Beauty Spa, reveals how the hotel industry has inspired her salon’s success

“I

’ve been running our multiawarding winning salon the Stuart Holmes Hair and Beauty Spa in Cheltenham with my husband for over seven years. However, I’ve not always been involved in the world of hairdressing – I actually began my career in the hospitality industry. And having previously worked for five-star luxury hotels, I believe I know a thing or two when it comes to offering an excellent service.

“The overall client experience is often overlooked by salon owners as being secondary to the actual hair or beauty sevice. However, it is equally as important.

To succeed in this business, it’s absolutely vital that your team offers a fantastic level of service in every sense of the word.

“Treating each and every client as a VIP and striving to ensure that every experience is a positive one – from the moment they arrive to the time they leave – will go a long way in securing a return visit.

“So how do we do this in our salon?

Hotels have inspired a lot of what we do.

Geared specifically towards guest comfort, I feel their influence has helped us achieve

our goals. Our clients are ushered into a lounge area after ‘checking in’ to await their stylist and our staff actively encourage them to leave their stresses and strains at the door. If, however, they need to work we ensure that they have the free WiFi password and find them somewhere more conducive to their needs.

“We’re lucky enough to be housed in a beautiful Regency townhouse and have restored it to its former glory, preserving many of the original features. Clients will relax by marble fireplaces while their colour develops or gaze at the intricate plaster cornicing on the ceiling of the backwash.

From start to finish the client experience is more akin to that of a luxury hotel spa than a hair salon. And I feel that this really helps us stand out from the crowd.”

Sara Holmes runs the multi award winning Stuart Holmes Hair and Beauty Spa alongside her husband, which they opened together in Cheltenham in 2003.

She has a career background in sales, marketing and business development and has helped lead the salon to winning various accolades including Salon Team of the Year 2011 at the British Hairdressing Business Awards.

SARA’S TOP TIPS Guest experience has to be 110 per cent in the hospitality trade; here are a few service ideas borrowed from swanky hotels...

PAGERS

“The hotel concierge service often employs the use of pagers as an unobtrusive way of communicating with staff. Each of our stylists is issued with a pager so reception can then let them know when their next client has arrived without disturbing their current one.”

DETAILS

“Another adaptation we’ve taken from the hotel industry is our scrupulous attention to detail with all clients. We keep notes on everything from the way they like their coffee to whether loud music disturbs them and their preferred newspaper or magazine.”

FORM OF ADDRESS

“How to address people is very important. In the hotel industry we would always use guests’ titles and surnames rather than their first names, which is another practice we’ve adopted in the salon. I don’t believe in assuming how a client would like to be addressed; we always ask and make sure we stick to it until we are instructed otherwise.”

CLOAKROOM

“We operate a ticketed cloakroom to ensure that no one goes home with the wrong coat. We’ll also take care of any shopping bags that our guests bring along and will carry these to the car if required.”

Saks franchisee Claire Denyer reveals the benefits of opening a salon under the banner of a big brand

pening a new salon from scratch is a daunting prospect for any potential business owner, and even more so in this challenging climate. However, opting to partner with a well-known brand and going down the franchise route instead has many benefits for those that want to make their mark.

“I know because I’ve been a franchisee for the past five years and run my own award-winning Saks Hair and Beauty salon in Kings Hill, Kent.

“After working as a hairdresser for over a decade, I joined Saks as a stylist in 2002 and spent the next few years building my client base and advancing my career. The company offered various opportunities – including L’Oreal Colour Degree Specialist training – which opened up many possibilities for me. Becoming a Saks franchisee really felt like a natural progression.

“Rather than going it alone, I was certain that the company would provide the full package of support that I’d need as a

BUSINESS TIPS new business owner. And just I thought, the support I receive from my dedicated business development manager and Saks Head Office team was, and still is, invaluable. I’ve never felt alone – whenever I need advice, a second opinion or just to discuss ideas, there’s always someone at the end of the phone or making regular salon visits to help me grow my business.

“So far the salon has won some fantastic awards including Sapphire Awards for Franchise Salon Owner of the Year 2011 and Saks Salon of the Year 2010. Moreover, we’ve been finalists at the British Hairdressing Business Awards and Sapphires for Best Local Marketing and Team Development Training.

“I’m quite sure that we wouldn’t have achieved such success without the help from Saks.

Essential support

“The company offers its franchisees a wide range of backing mechanisms such as HR support and training schemes including classic courses, customer care and sales seminars to more innovative courses with the Saks Art Team. We’re also tested by mystery shoppers twice annually to ensure

that the salon is providing our clients with the level of commitment and care the brand is known for. Likewise, we’re also kept up-to-date with new collections from the art team on a regular basis so we know what’s on-trend.

“But without a doubt the greatest thing about being part of a franchise is the unique branding. Last year Saks launched its Re-ignition programme highlighting the strengths of the brand encapsulating the nature, standards, attitudes, focus and its overall essence. Saks Head Office hired a market research team to find out about the group’s main clientele; from this they developed brand guidelines and structures that were filtered down to all levels of the brand including the franchises. This approached strengthened Saks as a whole and it has had a hugely positive effect on my local marketing strategies; for example I now know who to target and the exact treatments they’ll like as well as having access to great marketing tools and media – all of which are a great asset for my company.

“I understand the importance of knowing the Saks market and in particular our local market. It’s essential for my

team and I to understand our clients’ requirements and I find the best way to do this is to listen to feedback and monitor the competition. As a salon we make sure that everything we do appeals to our clients regarding pricing, ambience, services, team and music.

“I also launched the Saks Kings Hill Creative Team at the beginning of 2011 which consists of myself and two of my stylists to not only develop our creative ability and confidence in presenting work in front of an audience, but to raise the profile of our salon and the opportunities available at Saks at local schools and colleges too.

“I have many exciting plans for my salon’s future development and growth.

These include continuing to develop my own skills as a salon owner as well as my team’s and increasing profit margins so in the near future I’ll be in the position to open another franchise.

“It’s a tough market out there at the moment and salon owners need all the help they can get. For me, opting for a franchise rather than starting my own brand has been more successful than I ever imagined. I’ve never looked back.”
