Salon Marketing, Because you’re a hair stylist . . . and not a geek!

I love it! I laughed out loud when the headline “Hair Salon Marketing Slow to Adopt Technology” popped up in my mailbox. In my world, hair stylist DO know how to do salon marketing! The words hair stylist and geek in the same sentence may best be described as an oxymoron . . . wouldn’t you agree? “Salon Marketing”There simply are not enough hours in a day to do the creative hair styling stuff you love and keep up with technology. Hair stylists can run a business the way they always have and get by, at least for a while, or you could hire Salon Geeks to keep you in touch with the newest computer, marketing and business technologies in the hair salon and spa world. Salon Geeks was founded by Anthony Angell, a hair stylist/geek who recognized the missed opportunities many hair salons face because of the lack of experience they may have in the techie world. He saw this first hand, in a friends’ hair salon, that the computer and software he was using was so antiquated that, well, for my lack of better words, it may have better served him if used as a door-stop!

Recently, I posted articles regarding chain hair salons, specifically the new Sports Clips opportunity, which is run primarily by businessmen, not hair stylists. As a matter of fact, they encourage non-hair stylists to own the hair salon in order to have the owners focus on salon marketing vs. behind the chair customer service. That way they know if the business side of operations is handled up to their proven business standards, they will have more successful salons and consequently more hair salon sales.

History shows us that this business concept does work, much to the chagrin of many professionals in the hair salon business.

I do understand the feeling of . . . who knows our business better than us? But yet not one of them will minimize the impact of the franchises on the competitive market environment in the hair salon business.
