Best Kept Salon Secrets

You’re probably wondering what these secrets are and why you might not already know them.

The truth is, while almost Salons are similar in what they offer, they can be very different in how they operate. What works perfectly for one salon may not work at all for another. To understand what really keeps salons busy, we spoke to a range of salon owners and teams to uncover the small habits they believe make the biggest difference regardless of salon size.

Here’s what they had to say:

1. Treat your Role as a Passion, Not Just a Job

When you genuinely enjoy what you do, it shows in your work. Clients notice the energy and care you bring, which keeps them coming back. Loving your craft not just seeing it as a job  creates a positive atmosphere for everyone.

2. Learn from Quiet Periods

Every salon has ups and downs. Successful salons use quieter periods to reflect and take action, rather than seeing them as failures. Whether it’s sending a promotion, encouraging rebooking, or refreshing social media, being proactive can quickly turn things around.

3. Use The Right Salon Software

Relying on paper diaries and manual reminders wastes time. Salon Tracker users say switching to salon software saves them hours each week, reduces admin stress, and helps keep diaries full with features like SMS reminders, marketing tools, and business reports.

4. Stay Organised With The Right Tools

Paper diaries and manual reminders slow salons down. Salon Tracker users report saving hours each week and reducing admin stress. Features like SMS reminders, marketing tools, and detailed reports keep bookings on track and the business running smoothly.

5. Keep Learning and Adapting

The salon industry evolves constantly. Attend training, test new services, or ask clients for feedback. Being adaptable ensures your salon stays relevant and keeps clients excited to come back.
