Bring Them Back

The number one responsibility of everyone in the salon, declare experts Steve and Terri Cowan, is to create repeat guests. Look at each stylist’s retention rate. If the salon is giving an individual 70 new guests, for example, and the stylist is only retaining 10%, it may be wise to reconsider sending new clients her way. Also, many salons automatically send new clients to the newest staffers. But these stylists may actually be the least likely to keep them. Do an analysis every six weeks, the Cowans advise, and keep making adjustments as necessary in order to retain the highest possible percentage.
