Stay pro-fresh-ional with a salon spring clean!

As we crawl out from these dark winter months into lighter mornings and milder weather, our spirits are collectively lifted, and there’s nothing like a fresh start to the season than having a spring clean to give your business a well-needed boost.

It’s important to make sure you maintain your standard in the salon by doing a deep clean and sending your equipment off for servicing. Having a salon reset can keep you looking like the professionals you are and prevent potential problems arising.

Equipment servicing

Keeping your scissors, clippers and other tools in excellent working condition can ensure your cuts keep looking sharp and your clients keep coming back. There’s only so many times you can put off servicing your equipment until your blades end up so blunt, your scissors do nothing but bend hair and your clippers start to tug and catch.

Regular servicing can prolong the life of your tools and can keep on top of any wear and tear before they give up the ghost due to maintenance neglect. Investing in fresh blades for your clippers can have a significant impact on the quality of your work and getting your scissors regularly sharpened can make it seem like you’re cutting through silk instead of sandpaper.

Equipment upgrade

It may have reached the point where you need to invest in new equipment altogether. Upgrading your tools is a way of keeping in touch with new brands and new innovations in cutting engineering. Even though your old faithful clippers have done the job for this long, you may be surprised to discover that many advancements have been made, such as adaptive motor control and blade resistance detection.

Similarly, your scissors may be past the point of no return and you’re in need of a fresh set. With so many stylish designs to choose from, your old, battered blades will pale into insignificance once you invest in something new – perhaps try a brand you haven’t had before and step out of your comfort zone!

General Hygiene

Cleaning your salon and your equipment won’t go unnoticed by your clients. A grubby premises looks unprofessional and can make clients uncomfortable when they can see that hygiene standards aren’t being maintained. Having your floors expertly cleaned from all those colour spillages can make all the difference, and you’d be surprised at how many nooks and crannies hair can harbour themselves in – plug sockets, salon chairs and reception keyboards but to name a few.

This goes for your equipment too – brushes, scissors, clippers, dryers. Build up from products, hair, and dust can stop your tools working properly and can look unpleasant to clients. Not only can this put clients off coming to the salon but is unhygienic and transfers bacteria over from client to client.

Client satisfaction

At the end of the day, you’re end goal is client satisfaction. Your business is nothing without your customers, so to keep them coming back, you want to welcome them into a place that feels clean, tidy and kept at a high professional standard. Cool Blades offer several products to keep your tools performing efficiently such as clipper and trimmer oils, spare blades and guards. We also provide scissor sharpening services, which include oiling, cleaning, tension calibration and burr and nick removal.

This is your sign to step into spring looking as pro-fresh-ional as possible and keep your business booming.
