- 0:11that comes to your salon is really after. And it's what salon
- 0:15owners, hairdressers, therapists all struggle with the most. It's
- 0:19talking about price. What I used to do in
- 0:22my salons was we would say, yes, we're going to give you this outcome, and
- 0:26this is the price of it. We're going to cut, we're going to color, we're going
- 0:29to do foils, we're going to do treatment, we're going to do this, we're going to do that, we're going to do extensions. This
- 0:33is the retail that you need to use, and the price is blah, blah,
- 0:36blah, blah. And I was like, oh, we're raising our prices, put
- 0:39a sign out and everything like that. And our clients were like, yeah, I'm so glad that
- 0:43you are. Like, you know, it's about time. I was like, well, my
- 0:47God. On top of that, if
- 0:50you have done extra training, if you've done a renovation, if
- 0:54you've improved your salon and your team, and you guys are way
- 0:57better than you were five years ago, then babe, you need to
- 1:06So some actionable steps that you can take to enhance your client's experience is
- 1:10welcome to Salon Temple, the revolution in the hair and beauty industry, a
- 1:14space where being banked and creating massive
- 1:18global impact is the new standard. I'm Blythe Langford, and in this
- 1:21podcast, I'm going to share with you the exact strategies
- 1:25and insights that helped me transform my three salons into
- 1:29seven-figure businesses. If you're ready to step into your power, grow
- 1:32your wealth, and be part of a movement that's changing the game globally,
- 1:36then, babe, you're in the right place. So let's get started. In this week's episode,
- 1:40we are going to go through how you can raise your salon prices without losing
- 1:43clients. So here's how. Step number one. I
- 1:47really need you to evaluate your current pricing structure. So
- 1:51before you increase anything, you have to look at and
- 1:58Now this can be a massive trigger for so many people
- 2:02like, I don't have a profit and loss statement. Oh my gosh, I don't know how to look
- 2:07I haven't done any of these things. then do not raise
- 2:11your prices until you do. Because if you are
- 2:14looking for your price rise to be the excuse
- 2:18or the savior to all of your back-end lack of
- 2:21doing, then it ain't gonna work, right? You
- 2:25really need to get organized on the back-end of your financials
- 2:29so that you can know where you're currently at what
- 2:34increase you need to do to actually, not break even, but to
- 2:37exceed and thrive. And then from there, this
- 2:40will provide so much freedom for you. It'll allow you
- 2:44to know how much you want to raise your prices, but it will also help you
- 2:47understand what incentives you can give your staff. Because if
- 2:51you're like, I want to give my staff these amazing incentives, we just can't afford
- 2:54it, then know what's going on in your back end and then
- 2:58what you want to be able to create within your salon financially, profit-wise,
- 3:01turnover-wise, so that you can actually deliver the
- 3:05incentives that you would really love for your team or that your team
- 3:09would actually really love. And then also you want to make sure that
- 3:12you do market research. So look in your area, look
- 3:15at other salons and what they charge. Know what their
- 3:19rents are in comparison to yours because rent and wages are
- 3:23possibly two of your highest payouts that you're going to be coming out,
- 3:27right? That you're coming out of your turnover. So you want to make sure that you're comparing
- 3:31yourself relatively with other people in the area. But
- 3:34you might be looking at another salon and they're like, oh, they've got the lowest prices or
- 3:37similarly, oh, they've got the highest prices, but their rent is
- 3:40about the same as mine. Where do you want to place yourself? And
- 3:44I pause for a moment because most of this is based on your level of
- 3:48worthiness. Oh,
- 3:51so triggering glaze. Oh my gosh. What the fuck? Yes,
- 3:56your level of worthiness is literally coming through in
- 3:59your prices. So the more that you can have self-worth
- 4:03and see the value in your salon and make sure
- 4:07that all of your staff are educated and providing great
- 4:12Then it's no problem raising your prices, right? Oh my gosh, it makes so much sense.
- 4:16Like look how the work that we're doing here is epic. We are better
- 4:21We are better than this. We're doing this. We're doing all these amazing things. Our
- 4:24clients are having the results and the hair that they love and
- 4:27the experiences that they love. Then it makes so much sense to
- 4:31raise your prices. So the only thing that would be stopping you from
- 4:34doing that would be your own self-worth. Have a course for
- 4:37that. Reach out. It's epic. So when you're doing this analysis
- 4:41on market research in your area, you want to make sure that you're looking at similar
- 4:45services. You want to also make sure that you're looking at their
- 4:48staff, if their staff are as trained as your staff or
- 4:51if they're more highly trained or less trained, because that will help
- 4:54you set benchmarks and parameters within your business. You
- 4:58want to also see and factor in inflation and
- 5:02where you are in the trajectory of inflation. So
- 5:06what I mean by that is every year your product houses will increase their
- 5:09prices. And if you don't increase your
- 5:12prices when they do, you're running at a loss. So let's say
- 5:16you haven't raised your prices in five years, but your product houses have
- 5:19raised their prices every single year, then out. Just
- 5:23like, ouch, babe, because you've had five
- 5:28lots of increases every year, potentially with your rent, with
- 5:31your product houses, with electricity, with your phone company,
- 5:35with all of these companies, but you haven't raised
- 5:38your prices. Babe, you're
- 5:42losing out. And then on top of that, if
- 5:45you have done extra training, if you've done a renovation, if
- 5:49you've improved your salon and your team, and you guys are way
- 5:52better than you were five years ago, then babe, you
- 6:00It's not important. It's essential for you to raise
- 6:03your prices. Because not only will you immediately, without
- 6:08doing any extra marketing or any of the things, literally
- 6:13increase your turnover from anywhere from
- 6:22You don't have to do anything but raise your prices. Holy moly. My
- 6:27Let's all go out for a mocktail, you know, like it's
- 6:31that easy. So you're like, yeah, Blythe, but how
- 6:34do I get my clients on board with this? Okay, great. I'm
- 6:38so glad that you asked that question because I am definitely not
- 6:41about ripping anybody off. I am 100% about you having
- 6:45the worthiness within you and your team also realizing
- 6:48that they are innately worthy of charging more and
- 6:53having your clients see that so that they can come along on the journey with
- 6:56you. And you know, 9 times out of 10, if you haven't raised your prices and
- 6:59you've got really loyal clients and then you say, we're raising our
- 7:02prices, the general feedback is, I
- 7:06wondered when you guys were going to do that. You're so cheap. Like that is
- 7:09what clients used to say to us. Cause I remember at one of my businesses, I don't
- 7:12know what happened. Oh yeah. I think when my mom died, I just forgot
- 7:15to raise our prices for a while. And then when I finally did, I like, you know,
- 7:19felt a little bit bad cause I was in a state of trauma and I was like, Oh, we're
- 7:22raising our prices, put a sign out and everything like that. And our clients were like, yeah,
- 7:25I'm so glad that you are like, you know, it's about time. I was like, Oh
- 7:30my God. You know, most
- 7:33of the people that are coming to the salon that spend a lot of
- 7:36money are also in business or work for businesses that raise
- 7:40their prices regularly. So it is not uncommon and
- 7:43it's not something that you need to be scared of. It is literally something
- 7:47that every business does in order to survive in this
- 7:50world. So this is your invitation. to raise your
- 7:54prices as much as you need to depending on what area it
- 7:57is that you are lacking, like whether it is I haven't
- 8:01raised my prices in a few years or we've had a salon fit out or
- 8:05we have raised our salon's experience, we've got more highly
- 8:08trained staff, all of these things, so making sure
- 8:12that you are raising your prices accordingly. So
- 8:15you want to make sure that you are also calculating the value. How
- 8:19could you do that? Well, I want you to assess your unique offer. So
- 8:22that's why I've spoken to you in previous episodes. It's vitally important
- 8:26for you to figure out the mission and the ethos and your avatar client
- 8:30and what it is that you guys are unique for. so that you can actually
- 8:34put some value to it. Are you a superior customer
- 8:39service salon? Do you have high quality products? Do
- 8:42you provide exceptional results? And understanding this
- 8:46will allow you to help raise your prices without feeling
- 8:50unjustified. Now, number two is segmenting your
- 8:54services for a tiered pricing strategy. What the fuck
- 8:57are you talking about? You're welcome. I will share. So
- 9:01what I mean by this is if you are increasing your prices by quite
- 9:04a lot, if this is abrasive for some of your clients, then
- 9:08you can do it in a gradual increase instead. So,
- 9:12you know, you increase a little bit by a little bit by a little bit
- 9:16each time, or you can let them know that you're going to not
- 9:20include this for their next service or the
- 9:23service that they're in the salon, but it will increase next time. And
- 9:27you can also provide extra value. So whether
- 9:30you want to, I would personally call all of your product
- 9:34houses, call all of your product houses right now and get them to give you free products.
- 9:40That's it. Well, actually I wouldn't even ask. I would be like, I
- 9:47Blithe, what makes you think that they're going to do that? Because
- 9:50they're billion-dollar businesses, babe. Billion-dollar.
- 9:56Billion. Billion. Yes. I've
- 10:01These C-words are the richest people
- 10:06So, get free products. And then, when you increase
- 10:11Because then they're like, oh my gosh, you're raising your prices and I get a free product?
- 10:16I don't see anything bad here. This is actually really good. I got free product. Yay. Yay.
- 10:20I love free product, you know? So like use
- 10:24the people that use you really
- 10:27well because they're using you. Okay. That's
- 10:31I've got a whole other episode about that. Go into my Instagram and read my
- 10:36Another way that you can do a tiered. increase
- 10:41without clients actually having an issue is to
- 10:44create bundle packages for them. So you create a service and
- 10:47a bundle package. Now in my salon, I always did this anyway,
- 10:51because I don't think that you should itemize everything that
- 10:54you are doing for your client because a client is coming in for a result. Right.
- 10:59And it's not like you go to, I mean, some people do ask this and I,
- 11:02okay, so this is going to be a bad example. Like let's say you get in kitchen redone
- 11:06and they're like, it's going to cost you $30,000 to do up your kitchen. You're like, Makes
- 11:10sense, you know, you're doing all of these things and then you like get a
- 11:13little bit scarcity mindset You're like give me the breakdown of that because
- 11:16I'm freaking out spending $30,000, you know Because that's probably
- 11:20what your clients are spending on getting things done in their homes
- 11:23and you're worried about them spending 300 in your salon and
- 11:27that's only because you haven't allowed them to see the value in
- 11:30what it is that you offer and So this is your invitation to provide packages
- 11:35that create a lot of value for your clients. But what I used to do
- 11:38in my salons was we would say, yes, we're going to give you this outcome and
- 11:42this is the price of it. We're going to, you know, wouldn't itemize
- 11:46anything, but we're going to cut, we're going to color, we're going to do foils, we're going to do treatment,
- 11:49we're going to do this, we're going to do that, we're going to do extensions. This is the retail that you need
- 11:53to use. And the price is blah, blah, blah, blah. And they'd be
- 11:56like. I get it. Yeah, we're going to do a lot of things today. And it's like, yes, do
- 11:59you have the five hours required to actually sit in
- 12:02the salon today to get all of these services done? And they will say either yes
- 12:06or no, you know, because then they can understand that this is a big job
- 12:09that they're actually asking for and that they're going to be here. They're
- 12:13going to be here for a long time. So we want to make sure that if they don't have
- 12:16that time, then we can break it up and be like, okay, cool. Well, why don't you get
- 12:20half of it done today? And then I'll book you in for the rest in
- 12:23two weeks or a week or in two days or a day, whatever it is that's going to
- 12:26work best for them. It's a really great way to have
- 12:30high demand services in your bundle package and create great
- 12:34tiers and add more value for your clients. And then clients
- 12:37will also perceive that they're getting a whole lot more as well. And remember,
- 12:41you've already rung your color house or product house and
- 12:44gotten those free products, so you can also add a free product in as
- 12:48well. And you can let them know because you're one of our regulars and we love you so much,
- 12:51don't tell anybody but we're going to give you some free product as well. So we're going to
- 12:54give you these products, you're going to buy these products for your hair but then we're also going
- 12:57to add this free product in there because I do not like discounts. The
- 13:01more you discount, the more you discount your service, the more you discount yourself.
- 13:05Yuck. Don't do it. Number three, the best way that you can increase
- 13:09your prices without losing clients is communicate the
- 13:12change clearly and confidently. Clarity and
- 13:16confidence. and authenticity. That is what
- 13:20everybody that comes to your salon is really after. And
- 13:23it's what salon owners, hairdressers, therapists all
- 13:27struggle with the most is talking about price because
- 13:30we feel innately unworthy talking about money. So
- 13:35first of all, in order for y'all and your teams to
- 13:38have confidence and have great courage talking about wealth,
- 13:42first of all, you need to do some inner work. I have a program for
- 13:46that. If I haven't mentioned it, you should get in touch, book a call. It'll
- 13:49be amazing. Let's go into it. So the number one thing that reason why
- 13:53your staff are not retailing and are crap
- 13:56at talking about prices is because they don't have confidence. They
- 14:00don't have confidence and they don't have skill. They're the two reasons, just two
- 14:04reasons why they don't do it. So if you are unaware
- 14:07of how to increase your staff's confidence and
- 14:11their skill levels, then you need to
- 14:14call somebody in, babe, because they're not going to change. If nothing
- 14:18changes, they're not going to change. They need some confidence, training, and
- 14:21they also need some skill training. And the best person for that is obviously
- 14:25me, because you're listening to this podcast. You're welcome. See how confident
- 14:28I am? That's how I speak to my clients. I mean, I'm talking about
- 14:32my hair salon clients. I mean, obviously my clients now, but that's
- 14:35how I would speak to my clients because I'm authentic. I have no problem
- 14:38talking about money. I have no problem talking about retail the same
- 14:42that I would talk about the haircut and what they need, right? Because it's
- 14:45all the same to me. I don't have a wealth issue, right? I live
- 14:49on my own farm. my own retreat center, you
- 14:52know, so I want this for you too, where wealth is
- 14:56not an issue. So I want this to be for you and your staff. We're
- 14:59talking about money and having the issue of feeling rejected.
- 15:03I don't want that to be a problem anymore because I know that that is why so many
- 15:07staff members don't actually talk to their clients because their fear of rejection, which
- 15:11is a lack of confidence and then a lack of skill. So reach out,
- 15:14let's go for it. It's absolutely what I'm Ninja at. So
- 15:17some actionable steps that you can take to enhance your client's experience is
- 15:21by the little things, by offering different beverages, by
- 15:26having different things like waiting room abilities, by having improved
- 15:30online bookings, whatever you can do to improve your
- 15:33client's experience. Now, if it was me in this day and age, the
- 15:36things that I would literally be doing would be having a smoothie
- 15:40that is available for my salons and that we blend up each and every day. I
- 15:44would also be creating my own milk. Yes, I
- 15:48am not vegan, but I would be making my own milks because it's so easy. So
- 15:51just having a blender in the salon and getting your apprentice or like somebody in the
- 15:54morning to just create these things for your clients just
- 15:58creates a point of difference, you know, and then you can just like cut up some strawberries
- 16:01or a bit of like pineapple or whatever and put it on the glass and
- 16:04make it super fancy. You know, clients love the little things
- 16:08that don't really cost you anything else. You know, or
- 16:11it might be having a bowl of water with candles floating, you
- 16:15know, like just these little things and the sprays in the salon
- 16:19and the scents. All these little things change the
- 16:22client's experience exponentially where they feel better,
- 16:26where they want to be in your salon. Because like I've explained
- 16:29before, the nose is the first part of the nervous
- 16:33system. The nose and the sense of smell literally
- 16:37wires your client's experience. So you want to
- 16:40make sure as soon as they come into the salon that you've nailed it
- 16:44nasally, so that you've nailed that smell. And then at the
- 16:47end of the salon, experience that you've nailed that
- 16:51because the clients remember the first and the last thing that happens.
- 16:54So I never talk about the price at the end of the, of
- 16:58the end of the service. Make sure you talk about it just like
- 17:01right sort of in the beginning, you know, because you want to make sure that
- 17:05that is not the last thing that they remember. There's this ickiness about talking
- 17:08about the price and then rebooking and it's so weird and like, eh.
- 17:12They leave with a yuck taste in their mouth, right? So you want to make sure that
- 17:15you're doing that at the beginning of the service. That's why I am so big
- 17:20on having your clients fill out a quote, like having
- 17:23a quote pad where they're talking about their service, where you guys are communicating on
- 17:26paper so that they can see what you are going to be charging them
- 17:30so that you can see what it is that they actually want written down on
- 17:33a piece of paper so that there can be no error for judgment
- 17:36then. Every single service provider is terrible at
- 17:40writing client notes. The quote pad does it
- 17:43for you and it gets the client history on there too. I
- 17:47love it. It's genius, right? So then you can have all
- 17:50of this thing. It's all written on there. Like nobody needs to pretend they really
- 17:54remember everything that they did because everything is written on there. And then when the
- 17:57client leaves, you literally write all the extra notes that you want
- 18:00on there and then either your staff member or your receptionist does
- 18:04that at the end of the day so that your client's histories are recorded daily.
- 18:08It's ninja. Do it. And it also really
- 18:1110x's your client's experience because then when they come back in, you haven't forgotten
- 18:15anything. Now, I know there's some staff members that are like, oh,
- 18:18I don't want to write all my notes down because then if I'm away and they go and see somebody else,
- 18:22then they're going to be able to have all my notes there and give them the exact experience. And
- 18:26then they won't like me as much. Well, to those staff members, they're
- 18:30going to think you're a dickhead because you haven't written the notes and
- 18:34they're going to think that you don't actually care about their business because
- 18:37you haven't taken the time to do a perfect record history
- 18:42on their experience. So your perceived perception
- 18:46isn't the client's experience. So get over yourself and
- 18:49make sure you're looking after the client, what they're paying for. They're paying for
- 18:53you to do a really beautiful history. Another way that you can raise
- 18:56your prices without losing clients, and they love this
- 18:59one, is to offer loyalty programs for your
- 19:09Actually, it can be the funnest thing ever. I loved creating loyalty
- 19:12programs. I would literally go around to all of the businesses in our area and
- 19:16be like, hey, this is a business that I have and I want to know what
- 19:19you want to offer my clients. I'd also make one for my
- 19:22staff too. My clients and my staff and myself for
- 19:26promoting your business because we will literally promote your business each and every day
- 19:29and we've got hundreds of clients that come through our business that will literally
- 19:33see your business. For free. You're welcome.
- 19:37So what do you want to offer them? And so many businesses, like
- 19:40I'm talking 99% of businesses were like, this is amazing.
- 19:44Of course I want to do like things for your clients. Like I literally, when
- 19:47we were doing events and all sorts of stuff, I'd like
- 19:51ring Mercedes, ring all of the car companies and be like, Hey guys, we're doing
- 19:54this. We're going to have all of these clients there. What do you want to give us? And
- 19:57they would find stuff to give us. It was so cool. And
- 20:00then we also had like different beauty salons around the area because we
- 20:04were just here at the time. So we had different beauty salons, we had clothing
- 20:07companies, we had all sorts of people, dentists,
- 20:11plastic surgeons. I was into it back in the day. I definitely wouldn't do that now, but
- 20:15some of you will, so you're welcome. And all kinds
- 20:18of people, shoes companies, like daycares, whatever. These
- 20:22and wine companies and watches and
- 20:26jewelry and cool stuff, right? And
- 20:29so we would have them as part of our loyalty programs. I know that
- 20:33some of you are like the back end of this can be too hard, but
- 20:36honestly, it's not. You have a software company that you
- 20:39are using through your salon. They also have
- 20:43a loyalty system and program in there. So you just need to
- 20:46contact your software provider. Because guess what? You're already paying them
- 20:50money. And this is something that they can do for you without charging you
- 20:53any extra money. So they can get it all set up on the back end of
- 20:56your software. And then you've just got a beautiful little flyer
- 21:01on your desk, or you have it on your website, definitely have it on your website,
- 21:05whatever. You have it in place to have it in your bathroom, on your walls,
- 21:09have it in a beautiful frame so it looks really classy and
- 21:12lux. And then your clients can see it and they're excited. It's
- 21:16like, yeah, we're raising our prices and we've got this new loyalty program
- 21:22Oh my gosh, this loyalty program, new prices. Oh my gosh, this loyalty program is amazing. I
- 21:27Get these prizes because believe me, they love these prizes. Or maybe
- 21:31it'll be like, you know, once you get to these certain amount
- 21:34of points, then we give you a complimentary ceremonial sacred
- 21:38ceremony. Watch the previous episode because that is lit. Your
- 21:42clients will want that. More than anything, more than the Mercedes, maybe, I
- 21:45don't know. So, you, loyalty programs,
- 21:48yum, yum, yum, yum, can't get enough of it, you don't have to do all the hard work, get the
- 21:52software company involved. And even if you don't want to go around and
- 21:55ask other businesses, find one of your team members who
- 21:58is really confident and has a bit of spare time in the
- 22:02salon whilst you're already paying them, and they go and do that. And
- 22:05then, but when you do this as well, you've got to make sure that you hold
- 22:09them accountable. So say, you were going out to this, businesses,
- 22:13your job is to go and enroll them into our loyalty program. Let
- 22:16them know that they're going to be getting their business in front of eyeballs of
- 22:20hundreds of clients, that we are going to promote their
- 22:24brand. Like really enroll them and get your staff to
- 22:27do that. So if you don't want to do it, that's another way. I have all the tips. You should
- 22:30probably work with me. I'm amazing. Now I want to give you a tip here as well because I
- 22:34know some of you are like, I'm just going to discount my regular clients and
- 22:38then when they're ready, I'm going to put their prices up.
- 22:41First of all, this is not wrong, but I am going to
- 22:44give you a right way of doing it, okay? So you want to
- 22:48make sure that because you know I hate discounts but I
- 22:51also want you to keep your clients as well. So you want to make
- 22:54sure that you've got a plan for when and how you are
- 22:57going to increase their prices because they might be
- 23:01an amazing client that you have that you know comes
- 23:04in and buys retail and upsells on their services and
- 23:07all of these things so they're actually an amazing client. So then you create
- 23:11a little plan for them of how they're going to action that out over the next
- 23:14period of time. Like I said, that tiered gradual increase. But
- 23:18you also want to make sure that you do look in their client notes and look
- 23:21at their history and make sure if they are that client. Because you
- 23:25might actually realize that this is a client that regularly gets
- 23:28discounts and you're not actually making money off this client.
- 23:32This client is actually costing you money. And so this is when
- 23:35you have to get your business hat on, your big girl pants, big boy pants on
- 23:39and go, What am I here for? What am I creating? They're
- 23:43not my family member. I don't need to give them
- 23:46these massive discounts. Do I want to actually
- 23:49help them step up and value my business more or
- 23:53am I willing to continue to allow them to devalue my
- 23:56brand? So it's really important that you are honest
- 24:00with yourself with this. Now the last and final most important point
- 24:04is that you monitor. Monitor the client's reactions
- 24:09thereafter. And also you want
- 24:12to make sure that you are keeping them enrolled and
- 24:16supporting their journey. So this is a two part thing. So
- 24:20first of all, you want to monitor. So are they coming back into the salon regularly?
- 24:25Are they okay with the prices? Like if they're coming back to the salon and they haven't
- 24:28had complaints, then they're okay with the prices, right? So
- 24:32you want to make sure that you're aware of this and you want to make sure that you ask
- 24:35your staff about this. Now remember, your staff probably
- 24:39have not got a wealth mindset. You want to make sure that they're
- 24:42not discounting when you don't know about it, that they have been
- 24:46enrolled, your staff have also been enrolled and they've been given a
- 24:49new wealth mindset around your price increase
- 24:53as well and that you've increased their incentives as well so
- 24:56that they get more in return too. So that's really important. But
- 25:00you also want to make sure that you are, second part of
- 25:03this, you also want to make sure that you are following up with your clients. So
- 25:07giving them extra service. So what I mean by that, it might be
- 25:10a text message and an email thanking them for their business, thanking
- 25:14them for choosing your salon that you loved having them as part of your team.
- 25:18It might be inviting them to a VIP night where you do like
- 25:22an extra pamper package for them. Now look, half of
- 25:25the clients don't even show up to a VIP night, but they just love being invited.
- 25:29They want to know that you care about them. So how and
- 25:32what can you do to increase your care factor? Now, I'm
- 25:36not a drinker, I don't drink alcohol, but in my salons I always
- 25:39had beer, I always had beer and nuts for my male clients and
- 25:43then I always had, I don't know if any of the women wanted it, but the women would
- 25:46generally want a wine and a biscuit, you know, so I had
- 25:49those things there for my clients. I also had the best coffee, the best
- 25:52coffee machines, different kinds of wines and all those things. I
- 25:56don't know if I would have that in my salons now. I probably wouldn't. I
- 25:59would probably have things that really align and are in tune with me.
- 26:02Like I'd probably have like Egyptian teas and tinctures
- 26:06and smoothies and freshly made
- 26:10juices and beautiful raw honey and
- 26:13like honey water and amazing things like that that are different that
- 26:17they can't get in other places. Like I would literally have teas that are
- 26:20like This will help you increase your intuition. This will help you with your
- 26:23digestion. This will help you open your heart more. This will
- 26:26help you relax. This will help you go to sleep tonight. Whatever
- 26:30it is, I probably have more of those things. So choose what's going to really align
- 26:33with your salon experience that you want to
- 26:36deliver, but then also with the client avatar
- 26:40that you are wanting to attract and get more of. Let me
- 26:43know in the comments below, what is stopping you from
