How to Be Personable with your Clients

When a person goes to a salon, they are looking to let their hair down- so to speak. They want to feel comfortable and relaxed.

That way you can send them promotions, and personalized birthday emails as a way to keep them coming back. In addition, follow-ups are another great way to go that extra mile. For instance, if you had an Aqua Hair Extensions installation 5 weeks ago, send a friendly reminder that the extensions are due to come out soon. Most importantly, reward loyalty!
