Business Brainstorming

Some ways clients can support your business while remaining healthy

Phone and FaceTime Sessions

Provide product consultations for your clients. Your team can create bundles ready for in-salon pickup or even curbside pickup.

This allows clients to maintain the health of their hair and vibrant color, in the event their regular appointments are pushed back.

PLUS this will help keep retails sales up in a time when service numbers might go down.

Pre-booking

Remind clients to prebook for the future.

The books will fill up quickly in order to accommodate rescheduled appointments, and your salon wants to make sure that you can serve every guest.

Gift Certificates & Cards

Invite clients to buy now & use later!

Sample Verbiage for Social

“If you do not need anything specific at the moment but still want to support our salon, we have gift cards available for purchase to use at a later date for yourself or a friend.”

Let clients know what you are doing to keep things clean and safe

Here’s some SAMPLE VERBIAGE that addresses your disinfection measures and how the salon’s cancellation policy has changed during this time…

To our valued guests,
We love and value our salon guests and feel the responsibility to do our part in keeping every person that walks through our doors as safe as possible. Coupled with our high standard of cleanliness, you will see the salon team implementing additional sanitizing practices. We take the health and safety of our guests and employees very seriously. Thank you for your support and for doing your part in keeping our community healthy.

To our valued guests,
In order to protect our guests, employees, and our community as a whole, we are implementing a strict sick policy until COVID-19 is reported as contained. Employees presenting symptoms will stay home, and we ask guests who are presenting symptoms to do the same. Those who are at a higher risk of serious complications should strongly consider rescheduling their appointment as well. Cancellation charges will be waived during this time.

What You Can Do
