#2: Offer A Fresh Mask Post-Shampoo
While the client experience has changed a bit, you can still take extra steps to retain repeat clients and build your clientele through word-of-mouth referrals. That’s why Yene Damtew (@yenedamtew) always offers a fresh mask after the client leaves the shampoo bowl.
Here’s why: Your client’s face mask WILL be wet after getting their hair shampooed, especially on the ear straps. Yene suggests offering a fresh, dry mask that the client can change into after they leave the shampoo bowl. Remember to make sure they stay six feet away from anyone and have hand sanitizer to use directly after.
