Are you Ready to Scale Your Salon Business?

Are you ready to gain more of your time and make more money in your salon business now that you are booked?

Growing your business and scaling your business are two different things. Growing is when you get started, you build your clientele, you establish your brand and you possibly hire staff. Scaling is when you start to use your resources and systems to be more productive, expand your services and get more out of your business, without putting in more time.

So let’s talk about some signs that mean you are ready to scale.

1 – You are staying booked with reliable, loyal clients.

2 – Your income is steady and your expenses are predictable.

3 – You are possibly staffed

4 – You are ready for your salon business to look different in the future.

 

Does this describe your salon business? If so, then it’s time to look at taking the next step and scaling.

 

 

Scaling can mean different things to different people and it can be done in a variety of ways. Remember, scaling is about working smarter, not harder. You have reached a level where you are ready to rely on systems and processes to streamline everyday tasks so you can find a good work life balance, while continuing to increase profits.

Here are a few tips to scale your salon business:

 

Salon software – Online booking is convenient for your clients to be able to book appointments and helps streamline the booking process for you as well. But in order to scale you need to go beyond just online booking. You need to start using salon software to manage other aspects of your business like staff schedules, payments, product sales, invoicing, reports and more. Using a system such as this gives you back your time and helps you to be more efficient in multiple areas.

Product Sales – Increase your retail sales by reviewing your retail sales strategy. Educate your staff and provide talking points for them to use when selling. Improve the visibility of the products by upgrading displays/placement.

Multiple Income Streams – Adding additional streams of income is important for any business to scale. You can take your skills and experience and use it in other ways, not just behind the chair. Examples include brand partnerships, educational classes, online memberships, etc.

These are just a few ideas, it’s really just the tip of the iceberg. I’d be happy to share more with you on this topic, and help you determine where you are in your business journey and how you can get to where you want to be.
