Editor’s letter

With ‘wellness’ looking to continue as the buzzword for 2023, it’s important to ensure your salon stays relevant by working in line with this concept. The pandemic brought with it a lot of shifts in attitudes and behaviours, one being the heightened demand for mindfulness. In our extensive feature this month, we look into which services contribute to greater client wellness and how you can turn these in to boosted retention rates.

Keeping on the topic of trends, with the cost of living crisis still very much upon us, we have some of the industry’s experts on hand to provide commentary on Cost Management, specifically, how to best manage expenses within your salon along with an Essential 5 outlining five ways to budget effectively.

An exciting addition to the March issue sees Soho’s first ever super salon, Salon64 featuring as our Salon of the Month. In an exclusive interview, Founder Ricky Walters talks all things ‘innovation’ as he explains how the interior was designed to make every square foot profitable. Going against the grain of having a traditional reception desk, Salon64 instead boasts a cocktail bar as their welcome area… trust me, you don’t want to miss it!

Now, if this hasn’t got you all in a fluster of excitement, then I don’t know what will. Delve into this latest issue of Salon Magazine and be sure to let us know what you think. Enjoy!
