Salon Nightmares

We think we've got it bad. We think we're in it alone. Do any of these problems sound familiar?

  • Stylists refuse to clean up.
  • Food is left rotting, with maggots.
  • Receptionist doesn't greet clients.
  • Receptionist hangs up on clients.
  • Staff is DRINKING during work.
  • Staff blames owner for everything.
  • Staff walks off with client list.
  • Staff argues with client.
  • Staff says "promoting the salon" is beneath her and not her job.
  • Owner is making $2,000/MONTH working full time.
  • Owner invested $200,000.00 and is getting ZERO of it back

    This is just a little of what I just watched on Bravo tv's new show, "Tabatha's Salon Takeover" (schedule here). Funny, but it sounded a lot like what we hear on our forum as well here on dayspaowner.com.

    The few shows I saw were very similar. Tabatha comes into a salon/spa, the owner has zero control over the situation and she takes it over. She lays down the law, sends the staff out to promote the salon, evaluates the staff/owner, lets the staff know where they stand, does a remodel and then makes her recommendations.

    We could probably do all this fixing ourselves if we weren't sooo deep in it. That's what this site does for you. It gives you the straight answers you need to fix your own situation. The big question is, are you doing it? Are you taking the time DAILY to work on your business. Are you aware of the problems that need fixing and you're working on the plan you created to solve it? Or are you nodding your head in agreement to these tips and then doing nothing?

    Have you got $10,000 to bring a consultant in for a week to kick your butt into gear?

    Don't wait for things to get so bad that it's too late to turn it around.

    Start now. Prioritize your needs and set your goals. Choose one item to improve a week. Read the article that'll help (call if you need more help) and create your plan. Then PUT IT INTO ACTION.

    Once your business is working smooth as clockwork, then continue on with the same effort on marketing. The time to market heavily for the holiday season is now. All your marketing plans for the next three months should be in place now. Is your business in the shape it needs to be to handle new clients? You're not in it alone, but it is up to you alone to take action.
