Sound Familiar?
These are the problems we hear from beauty salons in Derby every single week. If any of these hit home, we can help.
Beautiful treatments but not enough reviews
The salon with 200 reviews and great photos wins every new client. Reviews are essential.
Your salon doesn't show up on Google Maps
Most clients find their salon through Google Maps. A bare listing means lost bookings.
Bridal and event bookings going to competitors
Brides and event clients research extensively online. If your salon doesn't look professional, those high-value bookings go elsewhere.
New clients booking with another salon
Clients pick the salon with the best online presence. If that's not you, they book a competitor.
