The Salon Growth Playbook

The best salons in 2025 know two things, trends change fast and clients want results they can keep. Precision bobs, expensive brunettes, and dimensional blonding are still stealing the spotlight, but the real money is in pairing every service with a home plan clients will actually follow. Scalp care has moved from backroom chatter to front desk reality. A quick chairside scalp check can boost retail and trust. Texture forward menus are no longer optional, and bond builders have grown up into multi benefit systems your clients expect as standard. Want to keep your book full and your clients loyal? Teach one skill per visit, package services with retail they’ll finish, and make every cut, color, or curl part of a clear maintenance plan. The salons that win this year will focus on health, honesty, and habits clients can stick with long after the selfie.
