Being a member of Good Salon Guide has made our salon stand out from the rest of the salons in the busy main street where we are. It keeps us motivated, up to standard and on top of our game making sure we do our utmost to please clients and to keep our 4 stars like we deserve. The number of clients we have received through Good Salon Guide has been beneficial to our salon.
Sharon Butterworth talks about Good Salon Guide:
I like being a member of the Good Salon Guide. I have gained many new customers through being a member. I also find the additional services useful to my business, in fact one of my regular clients of 3 years came to me originally as a mystery client and I now regularly do her hair and her daughters.
Jo Ng of Hush Hair & Beauty Birmingham said:
I value my membership with the Good Salon Guide as I find it very helpful and supportive. The money saving offers in particular helps me to cut costs and every bit of money I can save helps with our business. I find the Mystery Client service very helpful for the business and has helped us to improve our service to our customers. Deborah and Judy have been very helpful in support the business.
New Good Salon Guide member Linda Prestidge said:
After only being a member for one week, I had my first client through the door after they found my salon on the Good Salon Guide website - fantastic! I'm pleased with my membership; it's already working and has been a benefit to me.
Good Salon Guide offers so much, we thought you might like to hear about it directly from some existing members. Below are some of the comments we received...
Beti Reilly, owner of Beti Reilly Hairdressers, commented on the Good Salon Guide:
The Good Salon Guide gives my salon recognition and informs the public of my standards. I would recommend any salon to become a member.
Carole Fraser, salon owner, said:
We are a small, rural salon but are very professional. For 12 years I worked for Wella GB Ltd, initially as a trainer and then as a field technical manager. We are very aware of the good standards our team of eight have (hairdressers, beauty therapists, junior and receptionist).
I joined Good Salon Guide when we opened in 1999. We have had many clients over the years, particularly those new to the area from the listing in hair magazines.
We feel it is a very professional organisation and recently the fact sheets you are now producing are most beneficial.
Emma Hartley of Whitehall Hairdressing in Leeds said:
I have found Good Salon Guide really helpful in my business and all the staff are helpful in all they ask / tell me. I keep going with new clients from the Good Salon Guide. Thank you!
Tony Corston of Gerard Hairdressing in Grantham, Lincolnshire, explained how
Good Salon Guide has helped his business:
Good Salon Guide is invaluable to my business to attract new clients and also as a reassurance to the clients to ensure quality of hairdressing and service. As a salon owner, I have been able to make savings for my business, which has far outweighed my membership costs.
Nicole Davies of Headmasters Telford in Shropshire has reaped the benefits Good Salon Guide has offered her:
I found the Good Salon Guide extremely useful; not only is it good for my business having the Five Star rating, but I have also found many ways of cost saving through special offers available to me through the Good Salon Guide. Savings made in areas such as card machines and airport parking have all added to my savings off.
Barry Jones of Jones Hairdressing in Stockport, Cheshire, speaks of support through the Good Salon Guide:
Having worked with Good Salon Guide for nearly 20 years, I am very pleased with how things have gone. Hairdressers need each other and by being members of Good Salon Guide, we can support each other with problems all salons seem to have whether large or small. It's great to see what other salons offer on the web page.
Natalie of Ashley Paul Hairdressing is thrilled with the support received from Good Salon Guide:
Thrilled with Good Salon Guide and all of their support! Always respond so quickly with the best advice. I feel very lucky to have the Good Salon Guide for all of their business support and guidance, and making us aware of discounts that are invaluable to my business, together with the added bonus of new clients.
G Miller of Blondies said:
I like the way Good Salon Guide assesses the salon to ensure salon standards are met and are continued to be met, as this is very important.
A lot of clients look for hairdressers and I have had a lot of customers come through Good Salon Guide.
I am now using the cost-saving benefits to save money for my business.
Hair extension specialist and salon owner Michelle Griffin said of Good Salon Guide:
I felt very honoured to be asked to do a networking event. It was good working with Good Salon Guide on the event; I made many contacts from it and was able to show our extensions to many people including those dealing with hair loss, experts and did a fashion show at the Radisson.
With the recognition from Good Salon Guide, it gives us consumer awareness, which sets us apart from other salons. Our strapline is passion, commitment and excellence, and this puts the excellence into our strapline.
On a personal basis, everyone who works for Good Salon Guide is approachable and understanding of our profession.
Polly Rose of Colin John Hair finds her Good Salon Guide membership invaluable:
Being a member of Good Salon Guide, I find the business services invaluable to my business and I have been able to take advantage of the cost savings, which go towards the cost of my membership.
Being a member and having the Five Star rating reassures our customers of our continuing high standards, and encourages our team to maintain our standards at all times.
Debbie White of Whites Hair & Beauty said:
Good Salon Guide is a sign that people can trust, recognise and see that the salon has been assessed and meets standards. People expect a certain standard when they walk through the door. I can see that and do get new customers come into the salon through Good Salon Guide via their website, and also see traffic on my own website that’s come in from Good Salon Guide.
Azra Riaz of Libertes Hair and Beauty receives great business advice:
Having worked with the Good Salon Guide, I feel I’ve received fantastic information, help and advice. The support at Head Office and through the website has been amazing. I look forward to receiving the regular updates, as they seem to offer things outside the box.
I am a hairdresser and a businesswoman in one. Good Salon Guide helps me achieve both really well, showing me ways in how we can update services, training and other aspects.
Keep up the amazing work and thank you to all who answer my emails. Great, great feedback!
