We want to talk about retail because, in a salon studio environment, retail can be a tremendous opportunity to boost your bottom line. We know that with COVID-19 closures, you are probably trying to make up for the lost time, and with the need to sanitize after every guest, it's almost impossible to double book as you may be used to.

Remember, you are doing your clients a service when you send them home with the products to maintain the style you've created. Guests will appreciate you suggesting products that will solve a problem they are having or maintain the look you’ve created in the salon.
Tune in to this Quick Tip to for 10 tips to help you boost your bottom line and retail like a boss. Sit back, take notes, and get ready to start paying your rent in retail!
