What kind of strategies would you use to market a hair salon & day spa?

Aug 16, 2007 by Karen | Posted in Other - Advertising & Marketing

If you were given the opportunity to market a hair salon & day spa who has a good reputation in your area, what would you do? Coupons, advertisement, free haircuts or visits to the day spa?

If you already have a good reputation, I wouldn't offer a discount. I feel that discounts and coupons can tend to make places look cheap or desperate. But there are many fun things you can do to attract more clientele, such as:

Create some fun packages/parties:

1. Girls Night In - plan/advertise a ladies night when you will serve wine/cheese, etc to all guests...encourage woman to bring friends and enjoy!

2. Charity night. Team up with a local charity and plan a "charity night" when you will donate a portion of the proceeds to the charity. Make sure that you send out a press release to all media outlets to promote this. Also, you may want to ask the charity to promote it.

3. Fund raising. Seek out local clubs which may be looking for fund raising ideas and offer them a gift certificate fund raiser.

4. Articles. Write an article pertaining to health and beauty. Make sure the last paragraph is "about the author" to ensure that you get your salon's name out there.

I am full of ideas...contact me if you would like more! My website is in the source list. I would be happy to help.

Good luck!

I would like to know which are the rules to tip in hair salon/spa if the owner is who take cares of you?

I go to a Spa that is own by the husband and wife and they are the only two employees who always do my facials, hair, nails,etc... I am not sure if I should give them tip.

The rule i've been told is that you don't tip them anything. However I tip them anyway. It's one of those things that's to your discretion.

How do I open up a hair salon and daytime spa?

Mar 30, 2006 by aleiseaw | Posted in Hair

I'm in an entrepreneurship class and for our final exam we have to come up with a business plan and I want to open up a hair salon and daytime spa

well when you open up a salon you have to consult with the state board of cosmetology for your state then you need to follow the rules and regulations provided in your state....i would contact the board to get a booklit it will help with your project usually you can find it on your state website or you could call a beauty school....then a board inspector comes and inspects your shop then you can open then you need to makesure that you advertise and hire in some stylists with a clientle base already it would not be cool to sit there and stare at each other....these are just the basics you have to keep up on products and supplies and instruments especially in a spa....cotton files and products for hair go fast

Ever been to Sergio's Hair Salon & Spa in San Antonio, Texas?

Jun 29, 2007 by Keep on Truckin' | Posted in San Antonio

Has anyone ever been to Sergio's Hair Salon & Spa in San Antonio, Texas? I am considering going there to get my hair and makeup done for my wedding? Anyone have any experience with this salon?

There are not as many of this chain as there once were. I love this place. One of the girls actually taught me how to lighten my hair so I didn't have to spend so much money on touch ups. I have had my hair done and nails done and a facial there. Great place. Really treat you nice. Very expensive.

I need to find a unique name for a hair salon and spa. Does anyone have any ideas?

The salon looks like a high end salon that belongs in the big city. The salon location resides between Boston and Providence and needs a unique simple setting name.

Would you consider teeth bleaching at a spa or hair salon?

Oct 13, 2007 by Andrea G | Posted in Hair

Would this be a setting where you would consider having 'instant' teeth bleaching rather than at a detist's office.
Cost wise it would be $100, less expensive than at a dental office. I am considering this as new business option, it is now legal to do this type of bleaching at salons (I am a dental proffessional however) I am intrested to see if people think this is something they would do? Setting this up would cost approx $5000 so trying a little market research! Opinions appreciated.

I guess you're just asking for an opinion, but I wouldn't do that. It may be less expensive, but that's like an almost life long thing. I'd go to a pro. Who knows though, in a few years that might be the new thing? Going to a salon to get your teeth done. :S

Like, if a friend who did home made tattoos charged me $50 for an ankle tattoo that'd cost $100 at a great tattoo parlor, I'd have to save up for the shop... much more safe.

I've tried two laser types (calidora & palomar), but the hair keeps coming back. Let me know which worked for you?

Hair salon & spa names?

Dec 23, 2006 by Jewell | Posted in Hair

I am hoping to get some names in different languages like italian or french. I want the name to sound pretty and classy. What could I call my salon/spa???

if you want something french how about "une chase de cisaillment" ( a shear thing) or italian: "un tocco di lusso puro" (a touch of pure luxury" or even russian: Pockowhara Kpacotka ( luxurious beauty) try thinkin of a phrase you like then go on yahoo babel fish and translate it into a few languages until you find one you like they have a translator for a few different languages good luck!
