With an ever increasing number of beauty salons, day spas and mobile beauty therapists opening up in towns and cities across the country, it is becoming essential that you make your beauty business stand out from the crowd. Your establishment might be beautifully decorated with the best trained staff, but you still need to make your mark by offering a service that will get people talking (for all the right reasons). Here are a few ways to achieve this: Carve out a niche in the market Trying to be all things to all people is a recipe for disaster. Focus on offering a small number of high quality services instead of having everything on the menu!

Research what skincare brands work well and are great value for money. Clients are less willing to fork out big money on ‘wonder’ creams and are more likely to shop around for a reasonably priced alternative that produces results so invest in products that meet this demand. A lot of new salon owners fall for the big sales pitch and end up forking out thousands of pounds on stock they can never sell. Not focusing on money-making beauty treatments Every month a new ‘must have’ beauty treatment emerges. It is easy to get carried away with providing clients with the latest ‘in’ thing but don’t forget to stick to the basics and provide these...
