UK Hair Dressing

The UK has over 120,000 hair dressers of all shapes and sizes, from freelancers, hair salons up to some of the top brands:

  • Toni & Guy
  • John Frieda
  • Wella
  • Schwarzkopf

The hair industry really is a wide sector from the top brands that own products, and do styling for celebrities, down to freelance stylists who have just left school.

Hair cuts can range from £5 for a short back and sides, up to top end extensions that can cost thousands.  

Choosing A Stylist

As there are such a wide variety of you in the UK, finding the right one is important.

Considering celebrities who go on TV, there is much more to consider than just the cost; image is important as well.  They may have their own stylist that follows them around, and makes sure they look perfect every time they are featured.  

At the other end, if you are retired and are only looking for a quick trim, there is no point paying for a professional consultation and having a stylist work on colour toning.

Building Loyalty

Most hair salons try to build a rapport with customers so that they will return, but the trick is how to attract them in the first place.  This is where the media can help in getting the marketing wheels turning.

PR for hair dressers is a great way to get new customers into your salon.

Selecting Clients

Most hair salons do like to have a certain ‘type’ of client, in line with the skills of the stylists and the prestige of the shop:

  • Afro-Caribbean – serving specialist styles of hairstyles
  • Children’s – catering just for children
  • General – catering for anyone from children to OAP’s
  • Boutique – top end cuts for high price
  • Freelance – school leavers
  • Celebrity – the range depending on skills

Within the above are the 120,000 or so companies, salons and fashion companies that offer care to the UK consumer.

Marketing For You

Owing to the competition in the hair industry, stylists are always looking for new clients.  There is nothing worse for a hair dresser than to have no clients. 

People are put off by all sorts of things, such as adverse weather and holiday seasons.  All stylists like to be busy, from 9-5 , or whatever working hours they work to, so as to have a constant stream of customers that replace each other.

The problem is that there are always peaks and troughs; there are busy periods and there are quiet days.  To get over this, there is the need to market by having websites, doing mailshots and using public relations.

The Media For Your Services

TV Advertising is limited mainly to the more top end stylists and celebrity brands.  The typical salon on the high street does not normally use the advertising media, but just relies on local or passing trade.

The reason that many top end stylists would use a public relations agency, is because they want to target their customers.  To attract the right sort of client, normally the ones that have sufficient money to ‘invest’ into their hair style.

There are a wide number of PR agencies that work in this industry and are able to target media publications that focus on hair care, hair products and new styling.
