For any salon owner, the rhythm of the week is a familiar one. Friday and Saturday are a whirlwind of back-to-back clients, the buzz is electric, and the till is ringing. But then comes Tuesday morning. The salon is quiet, the phone isn’t ringing, and the appointment book has more white space than you’d like.

The scent of fresh polish, the perfectly organised colour wall, the pristine new chairs waiting for their very first occupants—opening a new nail salon is an incredibly exciting venture. It’s the culmination of a dream, blending artistry with entrepreneurship. But after the paint dries and the doors are ready to open, the most pressing question arises: How do you get people to actually come in?

In the world of hair styling, an empty chair is more than just a quiet moment—it's lost revenue and missed potential. You have the skills, the passion, and the perfect playlist, but the biggest challenge is often keeping that appointment book consistently full, especially during those notoriously slow mid-week periods.
