Honey HQ, Canterbury
Shining bright and pink on the outskirts of Canterbury you’ll find Honey HQ. The popular hair and beauty salon showcases the importance of interior to enhance your salon’s brand personality and elevate the guest experience.
When Salon Owner, Sarah Knight, envisioned her business, she wanted a salon that brought a little something different to the market. Just 18 months later, Honey HQ was born. As soon as you walk in, you won’t feel like you’re in Canterbury anymore. Surrounded by pink painted walls, you’ll be greeted by a reception desk that doubles up as a coffee and prosecco bar, and beside that you’ll see a happy client capturing an Instagrammable after shot on the Honey HQ motorbike, with a backdrop of rose gold treatment chairs that fill up the salon on either side.
Sarah discovered SimplyHair when she was setting up the salon: “I came across SimplyHair and instantly fell in love with their products.” What stood out to Sarah about the SimplyHair range was the numerous colour options of the tools, which meant their products fit in with Honey HQ aesthetic and wouldn’t look like clutter in a busy salon environment. “The SimplyHair Pink Sectioning Clips, Pink Marble Curl Combs and Pink Glitter Balayage Boards do not go unnoticed around the salon with our clients”, Sarah added.
SimplyHair’s range of patterned foils are uniquely designed to elevate your salon’s aesthetic and provide your clients with a colour transformation that’s Instagrammable from start to finish. At Honey HQ the Pink Floral Foils compliment their salon interior, and elevate the client experience, Sarah commented: “The SimplyHair foils have gone down a treat with our clients.”
The range of products haven’t just gained popularity amongst salons for their visual benefits, the high quality materials used to produce the range has ensured they are durable and easy to work with, making them a must-have brand in successful salon business. Sarah has worked in the hair industry for over 15 years and has struggled to find a brand like SimplyHair that offers quality tools and products, “One thing that has stood out to us about SimplyHair is the high quality of the products. The durability of the combs and brushes has meant they have stood the test of time, and the foils have made colouring easier as they stock in wide and extra-wide, perfect for creating balayage blends with a larger section.”
As a salon that specialises in long hair extensions, finding a brush is crucial for their salon’s treatment. “We have to shout out the SimplyHair brushes. What a game changer. They are the best brushes we’ve come across and we love recommended them to all our client,” Sarah said.
At Honey HQ Instagram marketing is vital to grow and maintain their client base. Since opening the salon, Sarah has learnt the importance of spending time gathering good content, with catchy words in the photo descriptions and bold headings. To capture the attention of new clients, Sarah recommends creating reels of your work and transformations as these often end up on Instagram’s Explore Page. Sarah explained how much she appreciates the SimplyHair range’s design for her social media content, “We love being able to feature SimplyHair products in our social media, they add that eye-catching, pop of colour that we love!” www.simplyhair.co.uk
