How to Solve No Shows

No shows and empty hair appointments is not only annoying but it can cost a typical hair beauty salon up to £5,000 over time! That’s a lot of cash to leave on the table. The good news is you can solve it.

In this brief 5 minute video, Alan explains the problems with no shows and how to solve them. This video was taken from one of our Salon Column Builder Training.

“I just wanted to say thank you to Alan.

I married into hairdressing 9 years ago so im not a hairdresser, when i lost my job in the down turn and my wife was looking to sell her salon after having our first child, it was really rough, i came across some of Alan stuff online and joined his membership site on monthly payment thing

This was bad for Alan 🙂 but good for me because in one week i had enuff stuff to take my wife salon from a 2 chair drive thru village salon in Ireland to where we are now.

This year we moved to a bigger town so I bought the xtreme 21 and OMG, everything that Alan said to do I did, now wifey only works in salon on Saturdays, we paying for our house no bothers and Im actually bored and now thinking I need to move into the supplier and wholesale side of the business because I kind of shy having to be in the salon when everything is on autopilot.”

I bought the xtreme 21 and OMG

Woohoo it’s started working!It’s given me bags of confidence on upselling. It’s like there’s so much to do every day even if it’s quiet. It’s all the things we should know but we turn a blind eye to because we’re busy or just wasting time. I turned a £16 service into £45 today not to mention the product shell probably buy next visit!! It’s honestly paid for itself already!Thank you it’s sooo exiting…really getting confident now cheers guys

Hi Alan The way I see it as we begin our journey through 2016 is it’s going to be an even tougher challenge being a salon owner, manager, beauty therapist or stylist and its definitely going to be even more of a challenge as we approach 2017.The fact is our clients are bombarded with so much confusing information and marketing which quite often makes us feel misled or treats us like we are total idiots!So its no surprise that we are becoming meticulous where we spend our hard earned cash… It’s one of the reasons that reviews have become so popular because people are becoming more and more careful when they choose anything from a hairdressing salon to where they should buy their food!I see so much junk and rehashed and untested garbage that salon owners have been told to use in the salons that simply makes me feel despair because I know is just not going to work.

It’s the first time I have seen a combination of multilevel marketing where your guided through everything from Facebook, social media, SMS text, email, direct mail,

It even shows you how to test and measure everything you put in place to help you build your salon business.Just as a personal note from me “Alan,I know you have put your heart and soul into this manual and that it comes from someone who understands what its like to have your home on the line and the bank manager breathing down your neck and what its like to have failure and success and what that feels like – and we both know that it simply works…

So I would like to personally thank you from our industry for creating a tool that if used correctly will help build any salon business, reduce a little bit of stress and make our industry great!

Hi Alan

I signed up for all of Alan’s courses (e-books) after taking on a dying salon taking £300 per week. that was in may 02 ,9 months later I am now expanding into the empty shop next door. since putting all of Alan’s ideas (and a few of my own) into operation I am now unable to fit all of my new clients into my present salon and taking more money in one day than I used to take in a week, this is just with myself 2 other stylists and 2 juniors working.So…. if anyone has any doubts about any of Alan’s ideas and courses just re-read the above a couple of times and get out your credit card and sign up.

You wont be disappointed I promise.Jeanette (a much better off and happier salon owner)p.s. I am based in a small town in Liverpool UK and if we can do it anyone can.

Been busy with your material.

This is what I think about the material. The first moment when I started to download it I know it was the right thing.
I felt huge inspiration. This material is really important for me cause I am working in a village, that means you gotta get the clients to get there.

Everything was there, but it was really one thing that I felt was missing.
You got the voucher and ads. But when you open a new small salon in a village you need to make flyers and put them in the mailboxes, not just when you open like 4 times a year.

Everything in the package is so great I just would like to see ideas about flyers for the villages hair salons.
This is what I did already. I used your Idea about recommend a friend, but I did it a little bit different. I used my business cards and on the backside I printed the offer, I give my clients that like 10 each and I didn’t use off on service. I called places where you buy hair products and asked them if they had something they wanted to get rid off so I could buy them cheap and I told them my idea of giving them away.

I told them my idea of giving them away.

I bought stuff for 10 Swedish crowns like 10 dollars each I mean brands that people know shampoo gel, hairspray everything. so I give them one product for every new client. So the women that works in our food store give them out to nearly everyone she knows. Of course I have done her hair already.

I gave her limit time of course. So I ended up with 1 dollar each new client and I didn’t lowered my price.
I forgot of course the friend also get a product it cost me 2 dollars sorry. I will let you know more what I am doing. But Alan if you got an idea about the flyers please let me know. That was the only missing link the way I see it.
Fabulous package. I am on my way now. Thank you so much.

Hi Alan
I have found Hairee.com to be a wealth of information.
As a new salon owner I needed information on how to do a better job of marketing & I have been able to try some of the ideas from Salon Column Builder. I have 2 established stylists & a new one to our salon & I did not know how to start building a clientele for her. I have tried a couple of the ideas from the column builder & it is starting to pay off already. I just need to persevere & hopefully she will also have a full column in the not too distant future!
Many thanks

Amanda
