If you own and run a waxing salon, then you know that organization is important for everyday functions. You and your estheticians need to provide and manage a clean, efficient environment, even when you have lots of clients coming in and going out. Keep reading to get some helpful organization tips so you can ensure your waxing salon is the best in the area.
Create a Cleaning Schedule
With so many people coming in and out of your salon, dirt and trash build up quickly. Creating a cleaning schedule that everyone adheres to can help prevent that build-up from frustrating clients or causing problems amongst staff.
Each of your employees should have a cleaning schedule for their individual areas, and everyone should work together to keep communal spaces clean as well. As the owner, you set the example for everyone’s participation in the cleaning schedule, so assign yourself a fair amount of work.
Label Everything
As various clients and wax artists move throughout your salon during the day, products and supplies move with them. While this isn’t a bad thing, it can later cause organizational chaos when artists can’t remember what goes where or what belongs to someone else.
Avoid any potential problems with labels. Each wax artist should have a specific label for their individual tools—ideally colored coded—so everyone knows who owns what at a glance. Additionally, if there are communal tools and supplies, they should have their own label.
Save Client Information
Poor communication is one of the most common wax artist mistakes. If you require your artists to fill out intake forms for each new client to save for future appointments, you can encourage healthy communication from the start of the relationship.
The form should include necessary information such as skin type and allergies, as well as fun information such as their birth date and favorite drink. Organize this information well, either virtually or in clearly labeled files, so your artists can easily find previous client information. Ultimately, this information comes together to provide a comfortable client experience that encourages them to come back, even if it’s just to share a soda on their birthday.
Don’t Forget the Office
Clients probably won’t see your office, which means you might put it on the back burner when it comes to organization. However, as we mentioned above, your example will either motivate or demotivate your staff. If your staff sees you don’t care about your personal organization, neither will they.
A disorganized office will also make it difficult for you and anyone else to find important information, such as licenses and client files. Include your office in the cleaning schedule, so you can lead your business with confidence.
Owning a waxing salon or any entrepreneurial business is a challenging but rewarding endeavor. We hope these helpful organization tips keep your business running smoothly.
