Welcome to Salon Strategies. |
 Anne Long-Murray, Director of Salon Strategies Recent Government figures have confirmed
that Britain is officially in recession for the first time since 1991,
and as the rest of the media pounds us with daily doses of economic
doom and gloom, we at Salon Strategies continue to focus on what is
possible with determination, hard work and a winning strategy.
Flying Colours. Our report on the first graduates of the Business Boot
Camp tells the story of a pioneering group of stylists and salon owners
spending their days-off in search of more effective retail strategies
for their businesses. Not content with just ‘doing hair’, this
forward-thinking group now has the know-how to transform their
businesses and generate much greater retail income.
Strength in numbers. At our annual Strictly Business! Conference, we
formally launched EBHA, the Ethnic Beauty and Hair Association, which
is designed to pull us together for mutual support and benefit. I urge
you to read more about the Association and to join us in our quest to
raise standards and increase viability for our industry sector.
Ethnic Business of Beauty Awards (EBBAs). To illustrate its ethos of
elevating the ethnic beauty sector, EBHA staged the first Ethnic
Business of Beauty Awards (EBBAs) at Strictly Business! Industry
veteran Winston Isaacs led a host of deserving winners, as we proudly
acknowledged the achievements of our very own standard bearers. Our
thanks to Sensationnel for ending the day with a stunning fashion
display that left everyone on a high.
In the weeks and months ahead, you will be bombarded with news of the
credit crunch and looming recession. Less will be reported of the
thousands of businesses that continue to thrive or at least hold their
own in these trying times. Stay focussed on your clients’ needs, learn
as much as you can about shifting consumer behaviour and adjust your
business strategy to take advantage of the changes. Look past the
headlines and pay attention to the businesses that continue to do well.
Above all, stay strong!
