The Hair Society

An Industry In Crisis (Part 1)

At the beginning of 2020, a few salons were seeing increased revenue in comparison to 2019. One hair salon reported, "We were up 25%. And then we were shut down for six weeks.". The pandemic has not only made local impacts, but it also hit us all globally. It is important to remember the repercussions of covid-19 are happening worldwide, not just in our communities. From lockdowns to border closures, the coronavirus has disrupted the system of trade for goods and services in the hair industry around the globe.

Should You Stop Your Marketing During A Global Pandemic?

When life and business get turned upside down, it's natural to go into "hunker down" mode. It's understandable to want to cut as many expenses as possible and anticipate the worst-case scenario. None of us should feel bad about these very valid (and sometimes practical) reactions. There are so many things out of our control at the moment. Recently, we reached out to over 119 salons across the US and in over 136 other countries in which we currently serve, including those in hair replacement, hair restoration, Trichology clinics, and salon that offer only salon services. What we very quickly found was that all of the data points to; marketing is NOT one of the things that you should be suspending right now. There are many reasons why marketing should continue and even accrue more of your resources.

Is It Time For Plan B? C? Maybe Even D??

During these uncertain times, we must all come together and support one another any way we can. A kind word, an encouraging story or even a simple prayer can make all of the difference. So much is not within our control right now and that makes many worried and anxious. Pick up the phone and check in on each other. Share one of those kind words or encouraging stories. Pray for and with each other.
