As a lash studio owner, booth renter, or solo lash stylist, the holidays are an incredible opportunity to boost your income and grow your business. During the holidays, your clients want fuller, darker, more voluminous lifted lashes for holiday cards, company parties, and more. Or, they simply want to treat themselves to natural-looking semi-permanent eyelash extensions as a form of holiday self-care. Whether you’ve been in the industry for years or are just beginning your career as a lash stylist, here are three ways to make the most of the holiday rush.
Stock Up on Lash Supplies
Whether you’re an independent professional lash stylist, there’s nothing worse than running out of the lash supplies you need or a lash serum your client is requesting. To prepare for a higher demand on your services, you’ll want to ensure you have plenty of supplies on hand well ahead of time. Look at your traffic numbers from last year and use those to gauge how much retail and supplies you’ll need.
An easy way to ensure you have everything you need for the holiday rush is to purchase lash kits that contain a comprehensive selection of application supplies, eyelash extensions, record-keeping forms, tweezers, and other tools. When in doubt, buying popular items in bulk is best so you have what you need for your clients all season long.
Encourage Your Clients to Book Early
Just as hypoallergenic lash glue keeps your client’s eyelash extensions in place, your loyal clients are the glue that holds your business together during and after the holiday season. You can encourage them to book their fill appointments in advance to secure your schedule throughout the holidays and show your commitment to them. Lastly, consider taking appointment deposits using booking software to minimize cancellations and late arrivals, which can affect revenue and disrupt your schedule. Clear policies about cancellation windows and late arrivals will help reduce last-minute changes.
Introduce Festive Add-Ons, Holiday Packages, and Certificates
Festive add-ons like colorful holiday lashes set you apart during the holiday season and offer your clients distinct seasonal styles. You can create holiday packages based on appointments, lash-compatible cosmetics, or both. Pairing a gift certificate with a gift set containing a holiday-themed brow pencil, eyeshadow, mascara, and liquid eyeliner in a festive holiday gift bag can be an excellent way for your existing clients to surprise their friends or family with gorgeous semi-permanent lash extensions this holiday season.
Implementing these strategies will prepare you for the holiday rush and significantly boost your salon’s or studio’s income. You will also help your clients achieve beautiful, natural-looking synthetic lashes and set a strong foundation for your future business growth.
