Operating a Hairdressing Salon is Challenging even on the Good Days

As you already know, operating a small business is not for the faint-hearted. With financial risks, intense competition, challenges in finding and retaining quality staff, significant personal investment, and the constant inability to fully switch off, it’s no wonder many people hesitate to take the leap.

To succeed, you need reliable tools that truly work – not just theories or wishful thinking. You need solid, proven techniques that drive positive outcomes. No fluff, no pie-in-the-sky ideas – just proven strategies to help remove the roadblocks and open the way up for better results.

After all, this is serious business – your livelihood, mental well-being, and family’s stability are often at stake. This isn’t something to take lightly.

With the right systems in place, running your business becomes far smoother and less stressful.

One of the most powerful tools at your disposal is an employee manual. It’s an essential resource to set your business on the right path and build a strong, efficient team.

If you’re operating your hairdressing salon without one, you’re making things much harder than they need to be.

Repeat Customers are the key to Success

There are so many things to think about when operating a hair salon. A major component of your business is your team. Managing and motivating staff is often the most difficult aspect of any business, and a hair salon is no different.

Obtaining new customers and retaining customers are often the next most difficult challenges. The key to business survival and growth is repeat customers – while also obtaining new customers.

However, ensuring repeat business is often very difficult through your team. Customers can leave at the ‘drop of a hat’ for any minor issue. Therefore it is crucial your team are switched on and responsive to the standards you know as business owner work – to ensure repeat business.

How do you ensure these high benchmarks and standards are met? By using an Employee Handbook. This tool is a ‘must have’ if you want your salon to not only survive, but to succeed.

3 Real Breakthrough Benefits of an Employee Handbook

As mentioned above, a Hair Salon Employee Handbook will improve many areas in your salon. One important benefit is that your team will instantly know what is expected of them.

Many hair salons do not operate efficiently because their team have not been told the specifics, including the rules and expected level of customer service delivery.

You must be specific. A couple of quick conversations ‘here and there’ with your team is not enough. They need the detail and you don’t have the time to keep repeating it.

Below are 3 real benefits you will see almost immediately when you prepare and mobilize an employee handbook in your hair salon.

Benefit 1: Sets the benchmark for customer service

As you already know, customer service is absolutely crucial in any hair salon. Your salon revolves around customer service including achieving online reviews.

Achieving 5 star reviews for every single customer should be your goal. If it isn’t, your salon will struggle to compete and in the end struggle to survive. Set the standards for your team with a reference tool that communicates specific details.

Benefit 2: You will be building authentic trust with your customers

A successful hair salon is all built around trust. Being authentic and building trust with your customers is key to ensuring repeat customers – which in turn builds your salon in all areas.

Not only do you need to build trust with your customers, so does every member of your team.

Benefit 3: Stops you repeating yourself

A good friend of mine once told me if you don’t want to repeat yourself, don’t have kids or run a business. How true this is. Implementing an employee handbook means you will not have to repeat yourself over and over again. Your team will have a document they can refer to first.

Make sure you always refer to the employee handbook when they ask you questions. It must be consistently reviewed and up to date.

Take it seriously and your team will take it seriously.
