Gearing Up Your Salon
When you are ready to add a few new services to your salon, you are going to have to start out by deciding exactly what new services you want to add. Simply adding a new stylist or two is not going to help bring in the extra traffic you need to make your salon business grow. You are going to have to actually add new services if you want to bring in new customers or get the ones you have to spend more money.
If you look at some of the latest fashions you are going to find that the airbrush is becoming one of the most popular new tools in the spa and salon industry. Why is a tool that is used to paint cars and trucks becoming such a hot item in the beauty world? Simply put, if you can use the larger versions to paint cars, then you can use the smaller versions to paint practically any part of the human body.
One of the hottest trends for using an airbrush is in decorating fingernails. Where once a steady hand and a bottle or two of nail polish along with a couple of rhinestones or more recently stickers were considered to be the height of fashion, these styles are almost passé today. In their place has come the highly skilled nail artist.
He or she will use a very special nail airbrush to turn your clients’ nails into true works of art. Once you equip your salon with this type of equipment and add an artist to your staff, their work will speak for itself. You will soon find that your appointment book will be overflowing with customers of all ages who are looking for the ultimate in nail art.
If this is not enough, the next thing to look at adding is someone who is capable of creating body art with an air brush. While tattoos are definitely all the rage amongst the ladies and the number of women with chest, neck and shoulder shirt tattoos is on the rise, not everyone wants a permanent tattoo or can handle the pain of the tattoo guns.
When you add a body air brush kit and an artist to go with it to your staff, you will be adding yet another hot fashion service to your lists. This one is sure to bring the customers through your door in droves. Even those who eschew fancy hairdos and nails will come in to your salon when they find out that you have a body airbrush artist on your staff that has all the tools he needs to do the job.
Although you probably have a tanning table or two in your salon, not everyone who wants an allover body tan is willing to submit themselves to the UV rays anymore and you may already have found yourself losing business. How would you like to be able to get all of that business back and add more customers besides?
Most salon owners would jump at this type of opportunity, if you are one of them; you are making the right choice. Instead of a tanning booth, many people are now turning to spray on tans. While this might sound a little odd, the simple fact is that when you use an air brush to spray the tanning solution onto your customers, they are going to end up with a very even tan with absolutely no worries about the skin damage that over exposure to UV rays can result in.
These are just three of the different services that you easily add to your beauty salon. Each of them will attract their own customers and in many cases they are going to attract the same customers for all three services. The next thing you need to think about is where you are going to shop for the equipment you need to have if you are going to offer these services.
If you try to buy any of them from your normal salon equipment supply company, you are going to end up spending a far more than you need to for them. This can negate any profits you are hoping to make from these services for a while. If you take a look at the different types of air brush equipment available at The LA Shop, you will find that you can get everything you need to start painting your customers’ nails and body at extremely affordable prices that will make it easy for you to turn a profit from day one.
