Planning for customer loyalty when starting a hair salon

Customer loyalty will probably be the lifeblood of your hair salon. Not only will creating loyal customers ensure increased revenue from each customer, but it will drive their referrals to other customers and perhaps the rest of their families.

The Stylist Connection

Creating strong relationships between stylists and customers may be the best route to lasting customer loyalty. To allow for this, customers must be relatively assured that they can get the same stylist when they return. Keeping low employee turnover is a first step and this can be done by keeping your employees happy over the long-term. Offer a comfortable work environment, competitive salary, and bonuses based on performance to make your best staff feel appreciated. An appointment system that allows for customers to reliably reserve the stylists they want is the second step.

Stylists might often remember regulars and their desired styles on their own, but encouraging them to document their clients to offer better service as they return can systematize these efforts. With a CRM (customer relationship management) database system, the salon can use computers to support this work, making client information available to all staff. The CRM system can be used to schedule customer appointments proactively, by reminding customers when it is time to return through calls, postcards, or even automated emails.

Consistency is Key

At the same time as these strong connections between stylists and clients are encouraged, you must avoid the pitfall of having a few superstar stylists who can’t handle all of their appointment requests. Not only will they be able to demand higher and higher salaries and credibly threaten to break out on their own, but you will lose sales when other stylist stations go unused.

Make sure all staff are consistently trained and have the skills and support they need to become customer favorites. Although some may still rise to the top of the pack, if customers see that they get consistently high quality service no matter who they work with, they will learn to value the salon even when they cannot get their favorite.

Other Direct Loyalty Incentives

Loyalty programs that encourage repeat visits through a bonus program can be useful. However, be careful to maintain the premium brand image of the firm. Customers who think the main reason to keep coming back is to get the tenth haircut free, may also be customers who would easily try the promotions from a cheaper salon. Making the service more valuable and proving why it is worth its price is preferable to encouraging customers to return because of cash savings.
