Five Upsells To Include On Your Service List
Posted by Cool Blades | 19th Apr 2026
There are many reasons why it could be in your best interests to include more services in your salon. Even though clients return for your skills in cutting and colouring, offering that extra something special during their visit could set you apart from your salon competitors as well as giving your business a nice little sales boost.
Self-care and hair health is all the rage (and so it should be!) so clients are constantly on the lookout for the latest hair care product on the market. Don’t miss out on an upsell opportunity and see if any of these five products could work for your clientele.
Even though so many heat protecting products exist in the market, there’s no guarantee that you can completely prevent your hair from getting damaged. Hair will always take a hit from something if exposed to strain of any kind, including sun damage, chemical products and bad hair habits. Luckily, there are products out there that can act as a saviour to all this hair stress, with Wella’s Ultimate Repair range providing stunning results.
The full range includes a shampoo, conditioner, mask, spray and leave-in cream. The whole collection comes at a higher price point, but the reasons for this are reflected in the results. This can be offered as luxury treatment in the salon and can also be offered as take-home products. As so many clients rely heavily on heated stylers, this kind of repair treatment is popular for most clients.
Metal detoxing can also be offered to a wide range of clients, as most people are exposed to environmental chemicals which contribute to hair looking dull and limp. The L’Oreal Metal Detox range can give hair a well needed lift, removes build up and neutralises excess copper which can accumulate through minerals in water when washing. Too much copper in the hair can prevent colour products from being absorbed properly, making hair appear dull and lacklustre.
There are many products in L’Oreal’s Metal Detox range, including a pre-colour spray, pre-shampoo treatment, shampoo, mask, leave-in cream and serum so you can give your client the full works from start to finish. Adding this treatment to any client’s colour service could vastly improve the results of your colour work and will bring your client’s hair back to life.
Healthy hair starts with a healthy scalp. Scalp dryness can be caused by harsh weather and dehydration which is why some clients suffer with flaky, itchy scalps. Product and grease build-up can also contribute to a flaky scalp, so offering a scalp cleansing treatment could help a multitude of clients.
The Osmo Scalp Scrub purifies and cleanses by naturally exfoliating the scalp with sea salt, gently removing build-up. There are also other products in the range including a replenishing mask and detangling gel which rejuventes hair that has undergone damaged due to unbalanced scalp health. Clients who could benefit from this treatment would be those who experience an over-production of oils or those who use a lot of hair product in their hair routine.
The latest product release from Osmo Ikon is in high demand, providing clients with a nourishing toning system which gives their hair colour a lift with high gloss finish. This is the perfect treatment to offer those clients not wanting to invest in a full colour service or can be used to perfect tone after a colour service. Glossy Gloss can also be used on virgin hair to enhance natural tones and provide luxury shine with 26 shades to choose from.
Schwarzkopf BC Bonacure Moisture Kick Treatment
Sometimes hair can just be craving a bit of moisture, so nourishing masks are always an essential product to have in the salon. In the summer hair is exposed to the sun, sapping moisture from hair due to heat damage, but also winter temperatures can make hair brittle due to the lack of humidity in the air.
A nourishing moisture mask is always a welcome addition to any salon service as they’re quick to apply and their intense formulas usually mean they don’t have to be left on for long. The Schwarzkopf Moisture Kick range can be applied as a stand-alone mask or as a full treatment including shampoo, conditioner, hydration balm, spray conditioner and mask. There is also a curl cream which softens and smooths coarse curls.
So, if you’re looking to add a few extras to your salon menu then these treatments can be used across various hair types so that there’s something for everyone. For applicator brushes, bowls and bottles, head to our website to kit yourself out with the right tools for seamless salon services.
