It’s more important than ever to look at ways you can reduce costs and save money to protect your business.

We have put together some top tips on how to take a trip round your salon and see what you could possibly improve on and they’ll help you be more sustainable, too.

Cutting Costs

To begin looking at cutting costs – take a trip round your salon. Identify where you could save money and you could be surprised at the impact this could have on your business.

Here’s a Few Things to Look Out For –

• Lighting – ensure you’re using LED bulbs that are cost efficient. Don’t leave lights switched on in rooms not being used – eg. the bathroom or staffroom.
• Towels – try to avoid using your washing machine and tumble dryer multiple times a day. Instead look at single use towels such as EasyDry. These are environmentally friendly too as you drastically reduce your water and energy consumption and the towels are biodegradable.
• Electrical equipment – switch off your coffee machine when not in use. Make sure your team unplug heated styling tools between clients and make sure the dryers you use are as efficient as possible to avoid using them for longer than needed.
• Energy bills – does your energy provider offer off peak discounts? If so, look at using certain appliances during this time – for example your tumble dryer.
• Work together – open a dialogue with other salons in your area, is there anything you could be doing to support each other? Whether this helps to cut costs or not, now is the time to support one another so reach out and create a community.
