Keeping the salon bathroom clean is important for several reasons:

1.       Client Comfort: A clean bathroom ensures that clients feel comfortable and at ease during their visit to the salon. A dirty or unkempt bathroom can create a negative impression and make clients question the overall cleanliness and hygiene standards of the salon.

2.       Health and Hygiene: Maintaining a clean bathroom is crucial for maintaining good health and hygiene practices. A clean bathroom helps prevent the spread of germs, bacteria, and illnesses among both clients and staff. Regular cleaning, disinfection, and proper waste disposal are essential to promote a safe and healthy environment.

3.       Professionalism and Reputation: A clean bathroom reflects positively on the professionalism and reputation of the salon. It shows that the salon values cleanliness, attention to detail, and client satisfaction. A well-maintained bathroom contributes to a positive overall experience, which can lead to repeat business and positive word-of-mouth recommendations.

4.       Staff Morale: A clean bathroom is not only important for clients but also for the well-being of the salon staff. Providing a clean and sanitary restroom area shows that the salon cares about the comfort and welfare of its employees. It creates a more pleasant working environment and helps boost staff morale.

5.       Compliance with Regulations: Many jurisdictions have health and safety regulations that require businesses, including salons, to maintain clean and hygienic bathroom facilities. Failure to comply with these regulations can result in penalties, fines, or even closure of the salon.

6.       Overall Aesthetics: A clean bathroom contributes to the overall aesthetics and ambiance of the salon. It enhances the overall impression of cleanliness, professionalism, and attention to detail throughout the entire salon space.

7.       Use for promoting products:  Hairspray, shine sprays…upcoming promotions in the salon…events, sales, community involvement.

 

In conclusion, a clean bathroom in a salon is essential for client comfort, health and hygiene, maintaining a professional reputation, boosting staff morale, complying with re

Dealing with certain clients can really suck the life out of you, you know? These are the ones I like to call "toxic clients" because they just bring this heavy energy with them that's hard to explain. Even if they claim to mean well, it doesn't make their impact any less draining. All you want to do is throw in the towel and head home. It totally ruins your day and it's not fair to your other clients or your reputation because they end up seeing the exhausted version of you.

When you're just starting out and trying to build your client base, you’ve got to have a bit of patience, you know? But here's the thing: don't fall for that nonsense when people say that putting up with abusive behavior is just part of the job. Yeah, it can happen occasionally, but it's definitely not the norm, and you shouldn't put up with it. Here's a daily reminder for you, right there in the salon:  you, and only you, teach people how to treat you. So, make sure you respect your own personal and professional boundaries, and make it clear to others that they’ve got to do the same.

Listen to the podcast for some helpful tips for spotting and dealing with toxic clients.

I hope these tips helped. Please remember to share with your stylist friends…and until next time, remember:  When you know better, you do better.

If you are considering selling your salon, there are a few things I’d suggest. Maybe you hire a broker. Maybe you sell it to a stylist. Whatever your decision, you first need to know what your salon is worth. So, let’s talk about how you do that. 

The Two Common Business Valuation Methods are:

1.       Total revenue multiplied by 25% to 35% + fair market value of inventory

2.       Two to Three times the pretax income + fair market value of inventory

Example Salon

Let's assume a Beauty salon is 1500 sf, located in a retail strip center, and has a ton of foot traffic.  There are 10 stations and waxing and facial rooms.  It's the only salon within a 3 mile radius and there is 6 months remaining on the initial lease.  To generate additional sales the salon also sells hair, face, and nail products.

The financials are as below

 |   | 2014 | 2015 | 2016
| Service Revenue | $300,000 | $350,000 | $400,000
| Product Revenue | $100,000 | $120,000 | $130,000
| Total Revenue | $400,000 | $470,000 | $530,000
| Payroll | $250,000 | $300,000 | $350,000
| Pre-tax Income | $74,000 | $81,000 | $90,000
| Inventory | $30,000 | $30,000 | $30,000

 Steps to Calculating the Value of a Beauty Salon

1.       Estimate the fair market value of all the inventory.  In the beauty salon business products can expire.  It's not uncommon to factor in a discount of about 20% to 30%.  After using a 25% discount the inventory for 2016 would be valued at $22,500

2.       Determine the right multiple of pretax income.  A strong business will have a higher multiple.

3.       Determine the strengths and weaknesses of the business.  

4.       Take all the factors into account and run both formulas.  For this example, let's assume the middle of the road seems best.

$530,000 X 30% = $159,000 + $22,500 (fair market value of inventory).  Total = $181,500

2.5 X $90,000 = $225,000 + $22,500 (fair market value of inventory).  Total = $247,500

Splitting the two numbers above and taking all the other factors into account a good place to start is somewhere around $225

So, when you're starting a business, you need to pick the right ownership structure that works for you. There are different options like sole proprietorship, partnership, LLC, and corporations, and each has its own benefits and drawbacks. It's important to get help from a Certified Public Accountant (CPA) or a lawyer to make the right choice for your business. The two things you should think about are asset protection and tax savings. Once you've decided on a structure, you'll need to fill out some paperwork and file it with your state. You can do it yourself or use a service like ZenBusiness to help you out. Let's take a look at each structure and see what makes them different.

I vividly recall the day when I checked my schedule to see who was coming in. Like many stylists, I have my favorite guests and that day, I was thrilled to see one of them on my schedule.

As she sat in my chair, I noticed something was different and asked if she was okay. To my surprise, she burst into tears and held my hand, sharing that she had just been diagnosed with cancer. In that moment, my own eyes filled with tears and all I could do was embrace her.

At the time, I was still early in my career and had not been trained on how to safely care for a client with a compromised immune system. Looking back, I realize that I made mistakes and was not properly equipped to provide the care and support that she needed.

However, over the past 30 years, I have had the privilege of working with many women battling cancer and have learned a great deal about what to do and what not to do. In fact, performing makeovers for these women has become one of the most rewarding aspects of my career.

As hairstylists, we learn from experience, reading, and practicing, but sometimes we still scratch our heads when bad hair color happens to good clients. We like to point fingers and blame the client, but it's not always their fault. Sometimes, it's because we messed up and didn't follow the rules, or never learned them in the first place. You know what they say, you gotta learn the rules before you can break 'em!

Today we’re going to talk about the top toning mistakes…why they happen and how to correct them.

Phrases you’ll only hear an average salon owner say…and replace that mindset with a successful salon owner…

1.I’m not in it for the money. I’m in it for the art.
I value my skills, expertise, and creativity and believe that they deserve financial recognition.
2.It’s impossible to make money in this profession. Clients simply don’t see my worth.
I stand out from my competitors by emphasizing my unique qualities and carefully crafting my brand. This builds my reputation in the industry.
3.I hate selling.
Retail products complement the services I provide for my clients.
4.My clients come here to see me, not my team.
I surround myself with positive and successful people, hiring team members who are more skilled than I am. My team is crucial to my business.
5.I need to discount in order to get clients in.
I prioritize exceptional care for each client, which earns me their respect and loyalty.
6.You can’t make the same amount of money in the salon industry that you could 15 years ago.
I hire top-notch specialists to assist me in the salon so I can focus on expanding and growing my business.
7.I can’t afford to spend a day outside the salon, it won’t run by itself!
Thanks to my success, I can indulge my passion for hair and beauty outside of work and travel the world.
8.There’s no way I can see myself being able to retire anytime soon.
I aim to make the most of my profession to provide a wonderful life for my family and donate to worthy causes. My success and the experiences I offer to my clients make the world a better place.

Pretty huge difference, right?
Let's not get too deep, but how you see yourself and your salon's value as an owner affects how your clients see you. This can determine if they spread the word and recommend you to their friends. So, as a leader, don't forget that the vibe you give off can have a big impact.
