Over 90% of all hair products bought in the UK are bought over the counter on the high street, with Tesco recently being voted "Best haircare retailer" in the "Hair magazine awards 2007" meaning most salons are losing out on a MASSIVE amount of extra revenue. In other countries like Australia, for example, the vast majority of hair products are actually bought in-salon due to stylist and client education and stylists being seen as the hair care experts that they are.

The purpose of this particular blog will be to discuss all the various ways that a stylist, whether a 30 year pro or a new student just out of cosmetology school can market themselves and their salon. Many trades people not only don't think about marketing as a direct link to a solid income but they don't spend any time trying to learn about marketing for themselves.
