Do you know of an online booking system that can be done through your website and you as a stylist have control over your bookings?
Hi My is Toya we in Bali , I have plan to build more focus in scrub and bath ( Is possible to do call or email for detail )
I also LOVE dogs, but I'm not sure how comfortable I would be with them in places I would hope are as clean and hygienic as a medical facility...
😱😱😱
This video should have more likes !! Awesome content
this is a great video i will be sharing with my team
How do I keep my calender selection on the right side locked? Ill click 3 selection and it goes back to just1???
This channel is IT! You both are always great and appreciated. Esp. Kayle; Kayle is a rockstar!
Thanks so much, Tiffany! ❤️
Thank you John and Kayle for the great content you've provided. As a salon owner of 2 years, I've really benefited from the tips and insights shared here. I'm curious to know if just using a software system is sufficient to manage the day-to-day financials of my business. In my country, the standard practice seems to be to also maintain a physical notebook alongside the software, and to compare the numbers between the two. I also have my own Excel spreadsheet where I track daily income, expenses, and monthly payments. I'm wondering if the software typically provide all the functionality needed, or are the additional records still important? Knowing that it takes lot of time to do so!
Hi! Thanks for sharing, good to hear you're finding value in the channel! Your software should allow you to manage your financials. Many even offer built-in payroll management and sophisticated reporting so that you can run everything right in the platform. You'll certainly save a lot of time if you don't need to keep a duplicate of records. I don't know the regulations in your country and if there are some specific requirements but I would try to move to just one, easy-to-maintain system. You can browse our recommended options here: thesalonbusiness.com/best-salon-software/ All the best! John
@@TheSalonBusiness Thank you John for your reply! I started eliminating the duplication in my records and noticed that I didn't need them! I'll also work on identifying the right salon software for our business. Thank you again for taking the time to provide that helpful information.
Good news, sounds great 👌
Is this website free or adds on?
you need to make a video about how you style your hair lol
Haha :)

Hi John and Kayle. This video popped in my recommended and so glad it did. It's a fantastic discussion and so many salon & spa owners have settled for less. We have been striving to constantly been innovating our software and you have given us some great ideas. Keep up the great work.
Thanks for the kind words and glad you found it helpful! Good to hear you're innovating with software!
I do hourly base commission so depending on the amount of money you bring in determines your hourly rate on a 4-week interval schedule so since you were paid bi-weekly I take the second two weeks add it to the first 2 weeks and that gives you your hourly rate for that pay period. It makes the hairdresser work harder for herself in order to make more money per hour plus if you hit certain quotas you hit bonuses with that. If you get five star review and your name is mentioned you get a bonus. If you hit certain tears with product you also receive different commission rates as well
Yes and more info on google/facebook ads
The best way to attract new clients is to do an exceptional job on your existing clients 👏. 😂 Never discount, never give anything for free. Make sure that you are the most expensive salon in your demographic 😅 Disclaimer, Don't do that if your hairdressing skills are not top-notch😅 @tonyzreik
Thank you for this helpful Mango Mint insight!
Renting your own hair salon will confuse people as to what your hair salon business really is. It also increases the potential for law suits if someone damages your private property, or even gets injured.
How do we manage our own work/life balance?
How to handle our Salon competition appropriately? This is what we need to know now. I'm looking into attending Cosmetology school soon.
Redo this video and include #5 please
Thank you for this video.

Thanks for share all this information! I'm hairdresser in Dominican Republic and i want to start soon my own business. So this information is very nourishing. Very excited about all this information that needs to be set behind the chair.
Why are there dates that look completely pink and others that look completely white?
I don't know actually. Vagaro has a lot of strengths but design is not the core one. More alternatives here: thesalonbusiness.com/best-salon-software
this is excellent as i begin to explore memberships in my business
Love it, wishing you all the best and would love to hear how it goes! John
You are a lifesaver, thanks ❤
That is so kind - thank you for spreading good energy Kenia!

🧡So happy to hear that! Thank you for your support!!!
Thanks a lot sir 👏🏼for sharing helpful information ,I’m just a beginner in this bussiness but talented and so creative in plaiting hair ,and I so wish to know much about how can I do uplift my small business into a big popular salon,and also which steps can I follow to brand my business,I’m doing my business with passion and more effort but I lack knowledge ,yeah I guess,I must get the skill first before I concentrate on my financial unstableness
I thank you 🙏
Great to have you here.

Thank you for this series, it was very helpful
✨ You're welcome! Glad that these lessons were helpful for you!
Great tips so far John and Tomas Thank you!
Thank you Lisa, glad to have you here! John
Love the content.!!!! Would recommend a full interview posted vs the daily dose. The daily dose I forget to log on daily in salon life and processing information it flows better without finding the next video.
Thank you! Great suggestion. It's the first time we're doing a full course like this one on the channel so I'm very open to how we can do this better with the next course. This playlist should be about 2 hours in total so thought it would be a bit overwhelming in one video :)
Great interviews, enjoying the content for each! Sometimes the parts aren't posting consecutively in order, if missing a post. 2 hours is absolutely a lot of amazing content!!! Thank you for the posts!!
Thanks @@kstewart235!!! Check the playlist for the full video series: czcams.com/play/PLrcqlQMda6EY993nldef2uuuj5BOKy6K4.html&si=3a5kS7aQVl_R6mdc

I have been a practicing esthetician for 9 years and I appreciate the information you provided. I opened my first salon / spa suite 6 months ago and this chanel has been a wonderful resource.
Thank you for the very kind words, it's great to have you here!
80/20 Great segment. I'm taking away fantastic information. I appreciate both of you sharing. Thank you so much!
Great having you here and thanks for the encouragement! Next lesson coming today! Only a few hours out... :)
