Take Salon Bookings Online Instead of by Message

The messages arrive while you have your hands full, and by the time you answer, three of them have booked somewhere else.

Let them book themselves

Bookings on your own site mean a client can choose a slot at 11pm without you touching your phone. You stop being the booking system.

Show the work

A gallery is not decoration for a salon — it's the entire reason someone picks you over the place next door. Put your best work on your own domain rather than only on a profile that decides who sees it.

Two practical things

• Send a reminder the day before. It removes most no-shows on its own.
• Make cancelling easy. A cancellation you know about beats an empty chair you don't.
