Set aside a portion of your UI or PPP to reinvest in your service business. Focus on treatments that will make a remarkable difference in your clients’ hair and help you make more money while spending less time behind the chair.

With new guidelines, you’ll want to focus on ways to quickly close financial gaps and prevent future income loss due to a change in work hours. Prioritize scheduling your big ticket services like color, highlights and smoothing so that you can optimize your in-salon time and generate more revenue.

Chances are your clients have run out of their favorite care products by now. Be sure to stock shelves with products that prolong results while protecting and improving the quality of the hair. Now is also a great time to bundle retail into your services and add value for your clients.

Prevent gaps in your schedule by booking every client for their next service when they are checking out. They’ll appreciate having a set appointment and you can plan for that income. Keep a running list of clients you can call to fill in any cancellations should any prebooked guests need to reschedule.
