Sharing Solutions

The Salon and Spa Networking Lunch will make its London debut on Sunday, February 24, at ExCeL. Following the huge success of the launch event in Manchester in October, the lunch will see salon and spa directors, as well as managers and individual practitioners, come together to share real-life solutions to the challenges they are facing in their businesses. The Manchester lunch was praised by attendees for its informal, chatty format, which made ideas sharing easy.

The interactive roundtable format gives all participants a chance to get involved and discuss their own challenges. There will be several table discussions on topics ranging from improving retail sales to creating a USP for your business.

Each will be led by an experienced salon or spa owner who will invite input from everyone involved, meaning attendees get a rare opportunity to get personal guidance on the problems they are facing in their salons right now.

Michelle Quimby, owner of Body Contour Beauty in Tameside, attended the October event in Manchester and says, “The networking lunch held by PB will be the best three hours you can invest for your beauty business. You’ll get advice, meet new industry connections and share challenges – someone around the table will have a solution. All this, with an amazing lunch and bubbles supplied.”

The discussions will be divided into individual tables focusing on the following topics:

Staffrecruitment and retention – recruiting and retaining the best talent

Retention marketing to improve customer loyalty

Retailing – tried and true retail strategies to increase revenue

How to differentiate from the competition – how to respond to cut-price rivals

Operations and inance - mastering your P&L and boosting your proits

The networking lunch will be the best three hours you can invest for your beauty business

Attendees can participate in two of the above discussions (choosing their favourite topics when registering). Some great names are conirmed to lead the discussions, including Stefania Rossi, salon owner and founder of recruitment platform Hidden Talent, Susan Routledge, salon business consultant, and Sara Shoemark, owner of Glow Beauty.
