It is highly visible in an upscale shopping center. We also added more square footage and three times as many treatment rooms. We have experienced a 30 percent increase in retail sales and a 50 percent increase in service sales.” “Our 100-percent ‘Love Valentine’s Day’ spa package (which included massage, facial, pedicure and free gift) was a very successful, eightweek promotion. We saw 174 new guests in the spa and we continue to reap the beneﬁts today.” “This year, we doubled the size of our second beach salon. We very consciously used many green products—from the paint on the walls, reclaimed wood and marble, recycled sheet rock, tasteful ﬂuorescent lights, to the recycled room dividers.” >In Richmond, Virginia, the staff of Mango Salon.

She brought a new level of enthusiasm and excitement to the facility. We can honestly say that everyone loves coming to work and has grown as a team knowing that staff will always be treated with professionalism and respect.” “We have a 32-week training program that lets us hire two training grads each month—the challenge was we only had 14 chairs. Our solution was to split shift 32 hours a week, since we are open 65 hours. Now we have 22 stylists working out of 14 chairs, bringing our productivity to 85 percent on 40 hours.” “Each esthetician goes through the same training and then gives a facial to each member of the skin care team. The experienced team members provide feedback and a report to management. This allows us to give consistent service through the whole team and our guests appreciate that.” “Wisteria recently launched our Beauty Blog, which is updated regularly with the latest beauty tips and trends. The blog is a wonderful way for our guests to connect with Wisteria virtually.” —Jodie Reece, Wisteria Aveda Salon Spa www.salontoday.com January 2009 | 65 http://www.naturalalternativessalonspa.com http://www.newreflectionssalon.com http://www.getpanache.com http://www.pyaraaveda.com http://www.pureconceptsalon.com http://www.avedaacademydenver.com http://www.salontoday.com
