15. Revolving Retail. When giving your salon a festive winter makeover, don’t forget to include practical retail area changes as well. “We completely change both the look and the products in our retail area to prepare for winter,” says Cathy Brown-Issel, owner of Brown & Deline Salons in Detroit. “We switch from the bright, fruity Qtica SmartSpa line to their Black line, which is more moisturizing for winter skin. The black and gold packaging is rich looking. We also stock up on cuticle oil, pedicure socks, and hand and foot treatments with gloves and socks for home care.” By making your salon the go-to place for winter homecare items, you’ll be encouraging clients to book services with you as well.
