Beauty salons today have sprung up as a response to the growing list of clientele who, even with the recession blues, spend a quite lot of bucks on beauty treatments. Laid-back massage, makeup, hair and other beauty services have become a need more than a trend now. The great environmental changes, hectic schedules and stressful life had made a wide impact on both mental as well as physical health of the individual. With the advancement in technology today, several beauty services are aimed to improve a person’s overall health and appearance.
Today, every individual wish to experience different beauty services, including massage, foot and hand treatments, skincare solutions, cosmetic applications, hair colours, and solutions. However, getting any of the treatment the effective and safe way is only possible if it is taken from professional hands or a beauty salon.
Finding the right beauty and hair salon can be difficult. It can be tough to know the quality of service you will receive unless you test the different salons in your city. You can save time and money when considering certain factors when choosing the right beauty and hair salon for your makeover. To help you decide which salon best suits your needs, we suggest starting with our favourite salons in Yarra Valley, Melbourne.

What makes a great salon?
Salons that are popular and successful often have certain things in common. In part, it is through the recruiting of good employees and keeping up with the latest popular hairstyles and trends. However, it may also include keeping both clients and employees happy to reduce turnover.
Because there is a lot of competition among salons, standing out among the crowd is how a salon rises to the top. Your cosmetology license got you into the profession you love, and continuing education courses can help you reach that pinnacle of success.
Successful salon Owner
Organisation
As a salon owner, you must juggle personal life, clients, employees, finances, and more. Being organised helps you focus on the task at hand and still have time for some fun. Find a system to keep you and your staff in order and stick with it.
Motivation
Drive, being a self-starter – whatever you call it, it’s a must for successful salon owners. The important thing to remember is it’s not a finite thing. Increase it through simple everyday things like completing your to-do lists. By completing smaller tasks, you start to build momentum to conquer bigger tasks and challenges throughout the day.
Independence
Telling your family and friends you’re opening a salon is a big step in your entrepreneurial journey. Whether the advice they’ll inevitably give is positive or negative, have a clear vision of what you want from your business and how to get there. Be open while remaining true to yourself and your vision.
Thirst For Knowledge
Ask any small business owner how they spend their day, their answer would most likely sound exhausting. As an owner, you’re responsible for every aspect of the business – HR, finance, guest services, marketing, management, and sales are just a few of the areas you will need to be knowledgeable about. Being a lifelong learner prepares you to wear all of these hats, and not always at the same time. Understanding the interconnected nature of your business is what will make your salon a lasting success.
Confidence
Confidence will help you to “bring it all together.” Being confident is more than just being sure of yourself. Confidence comes from knowing you’re prepared, you’ve done the best you can, and you are prepared to take on any challenge you might face.
Selfishness
You probably didn’t expect to see selfishness on this list, but you need to be selfish with your time and resources as a small business owner. There are only so many hours in a day, and you need to be mindful of how you use them. Don’t be afraid to say no. Your time is valuable, treat it like it is.
Delegation
You can’t be everywhere. The ability to effectively delegate tasks and manage your team provides you with the most valuable resource of all: time. Remember to let go. Your team members might not complete tasks the same as you, so if you want something done a certain way, coach (don’t command!) on what to do instead.
Passion
It’s the foundation of a successful entrepreneur. You need to have it for the full experience of being a salon owner. It will get you out of bed in the morning even if you’ve only had a few hours of sleep because you were up late taking inventory. Passion gets you through bad days and makes good days much more meaningful.
Self-Promotion
Talking to others about yourself can be one of the most difficult parts of building your business. We’re taught from a young age talking about yourself too much is rude. Instead of thinking of self-promotion as a sales pitch, think of it as your way to share your passion with those around you. You should also be using social media such as Instagram and Facebook to boost appointments via the book now button and share your passion with the world. Your salon is a big part of your life, be proud of it!
Resilience
The life of a small business owner can be a roller coaster ride. Some days you’ll feel like you’ve made the biggest mistake of your life, but it’s essential to remember bad days will pass and tomorrow holds the potential for greatness.
Self-Awareness
Admit that you don’t know everything and be willing to seek or ask for help. Find mentors, websites, blogs, or other resources that will help you grow as an entrepreneur in the beauty industry.
By showing transparency, employees will also find you more approachable and more likely to ask for guidance or offer suggestions.
As the salon owner or manager, remember that you set the tone for the entire organisation. The culture forms around you. Whether it’s your stylists or your front desk staff, your employees will note your behaviour and follow your example.
