 You need to have a special advertising campaign offer for your hair salon business. You must announce a big opening and have an attracting discount offer such as ‘a complete hairstyling and another half cost haircut, both for the price of one.’ Something like ‘Bring a friend’ type of special commercial. This will help attract a variety of customers to give your hair salon a chance to impress them.
 You need to create a commercial label that displays the price list for each service that your hair salon business has to offer. People want to know how much a hair coloring costs. Perhaps some customers want a new hair style done for tonight’s party kind of thing. You have to come up with a list with the price of each of these services.
 How many products such as special shampoo and conditioner are you going to sell to your clients? Create some price tags that display the price of each product along with other items. You will be quite surprised in what kind of products the customers are interested in buying at hair salons.
 Bring some magazines in your hair salon for customers to go through while waiting, as they enjoy keeping themselves busy looking at magazines with different types of hair styles. This will give them a good idea about what type of haircut look they are interested in.
 In order to receive as many sales as possible your hair salon must offer a wide range of payment methods available for the customers. You need to be glad to accept checks and you should also purchase a credit card machine for this type of customers. It is recommended you accept all kinds of credit cards including the more expensive ones. Customers spend much more money on a credit card than they normally would with cash, especially when it is a service or product they really want to purchase right away.
 Your hair salon must stay open on weekends. You should also have long hours during the day and in the afternoons. People love to go shopping on weekends and especially on paydays. Make sure that your business hours are displayed in a good spot on the salon’s door.

get them interested in your business by simply looking at your posters.
