So, recently pretty much every hair salon in my area has stuck a tan tent in a corner, nail table at reception and offers make up and lashes with blow dry etc etc....all for next to nothing. We are beauty only, and whilst I know it's the hairdressing side paying their rent etc it irritates me. I used to be a hairdresser and if my salon had been bigger I would have maybe incorporated that but here's my dilemma...I can't help but feel I'm being left behind!
These girls in the salons around don't tend to last long...regular turnover of staff, and I've been there 20 years, but it's still dilution of new business with them having a captive audience to target with deals etc.
I have a spare room 3 days a week, and when my tan room isn't in use I have a barber/threading type chair in there too....what would any of you target to rent this space? Hair ext? Permanent make up? Any other ideas? Or do I head down ride it out...we do most of the up to date treatments already.
Two I don't really fancy is teeth whitening or Botox. Again the local hair salons seem to be doing this.
