A great way to create a quick growth in our business (working behind the chair) is to use what's around us! Essentially what I am getting at is to be resourceful.
Well lets be resourceful this month! For those of you who don't know the month it's April. There is a particular day this month in April that stands out to me: EARTH DAY; April 22nd.
This is a fabulous opportunity to create all sorts of buzz and excitement in your world. Find ways to capitalize on this day! Not only for the benefits that come with the growth of your business but the benefits of raising awareness of making the earth a better place.
So your probably asking right now, "what do you mean?" or "how the heck am I going to do that?"
Well.... In the end you have to find what works best for you but..... here are some great ideas.
Gain attention through your Facebook page by increasing awareness of some helpful ways to "make the world a better place." The catch here is to relate it to what you do. For instance talk about possible ways of conserving water while washing your hair or educating your guests on what bottles of products are recyclable.
Want an even better example of this, check out Pureology's Facebook Page, they are posting great Earth Day tips everyday this month - check it out here.
Another great idea - Offer a particular service and donate the proceeds to an organization dedicated to the conservation of the planet. Make it something like a brow wax - a low ticket item that will gain massive attention at a low cost and almost everyone needs the service. Run this promotion all month long.
One last great idea - There is an awesome Disney movie about Lions called African Cats showing only on earth day in theaters. Offer a contest with all your guests. Anyone who pre-books their appointment is automatically entered into a drawing to win two free tickets to go see the movie. Maybe even throw a blow dry for the movie night into the mix.
I think you get the idea!
Have any other ideas?
I would love to hear them in the comments section!

Having trouble covering gray hair?
This one is for the stylist's! So at the salon the other day we had a client in whose hair had a little challenge covering the gray with her formulation. The areas that gave us the biggest challenge were around the face by the ears.
For those of you who have had these challenges we have some solutions. Here are some great tips and tricks that have worked for us in the past and some that I have learned from fellow stylists for those problem areas, especially around the face!
Often times the hair around the face and ears will get filled with salt, due to the amount of sweat a person has perspired. Salt in our sweat will cause the hair to become very dry and resistant to color. Also product, minerals and chlorine will have a major affect on our color results. The best solution if this happens is to detoxify the hair prior to coloring. My recommendation would be to use Pureologys clarifying and detoxifying shampoo: Purify, prior to coloring. If you feel that there is an excess amount of build up of product, minerals, chlorine or salt in the hair use shampoo and leave on for up to 20 min capped under neath a dryer. Follow by applying your color to your manufactures instructions.

Here are some other great tips to try if clarifying the hair does not work.
1. Prior to coloring the hair apply a small amount of the hair color pigment only (not using any peroxide) to the challenging area and after apply color throughout entire head (including the challenging spots) in normal fashion.
2. After applying color to challenging areas, cover areas with foil.
3. Pre-soften the hair by applying a small amount of 20 volume peroxide to a piece of cotton and rub the challenging areas with the peroxide.
If any of you happen to have other tips and tricks we would love to hear them. Please comment or write us at: info@thehairstylistblog.com
