It’s time to indulge your inner control freak and super-organise your salon…
1. Ditch the paper
A recent study found businesses waste at least four hours a week sorting through paper. So ditch that dog-eared filing system and install a salon software device that will seamlessly colour-code, organise and streamline your entire day. Sigh…
2. Categorise your chaos
$2 shop baskets + velcro strips = organisational genius. Say goodbye to drawer clutter forever. Ahhhhh…
3. File makeup
If you want to take your drawer sorting to another level, a few sheets of thick cardboard slotted into your salon’s product drawers will perfectly file every compact away so beautifully, you’ll actually want to cry each time you reach for the blush. Sob.
4. Simplify bookings
Stop running for the phone and scribbling notes and let your clients do their own booking, on your Facebook page. There are now programs that can be installed directly onto your Facebook and will create an instant, easily accessible online booking portal for your clients. Breathe that sigh of relief, breathe it good…
5. Re-purpose shoe racks
Sort the chaos on your reception desk with a couple of re-purposed shoe racks. Cheap, effective, and surprisingly aesthetically pleasing. Mmmm…
6. Embrace icons
There are few things more comforting to a perfectionist than icons showing the status of your to-do list. And thanks to meticulous salon software organisation programs, you can finally indulge your inner OCD, with constant updates of the exact status of each and every one of your appointments. Oh yeah…
7. Declutter your cables
If you have a giant, ever-growing mound of entangled cables of unknown origin beneath your salon reception desk, you’re not alone, but thanks to Pinterest (ah, Pinterest, what would we do without you?), there’s a solution so incredibly simple and yet genius for that, it will blow your mind. Perfection…
8. Get on the cloud
Cloud based systems are the answer to every control freak’s prayers. Think never losing a single file, ever again. By storing all your information in the cloud, your computer can crash and your paperwork can go up in flames all in the same day, and you’ll still have every appointment booking, staff schedule and piece of marketing material at your fingertips, accessible from the nearest web browser you can get your hands on. Neeeeat…
9. Be magnetic
Organise everything from makeup to daily reminders on a magnetic board. Simply attach magnets to the back of your clutter and pop the magnetic board in a pretty frame. Too easy!
10. Box it
Organise your product sachet samples in show boxes. All it takes is some basic copy paper and washi tape labels for an organisational system Martha Stewart would approve of.
11. File it
Keep nail wheels looking presentable and easy to find by storing upright in a couple of pretty re-purposed gift boxes, with clear labels to discern where clients can find the corresponding bottles in the salon.
