3 Ways Salons Can Celebrate Men’s Grooming Day on August 15
Men’s Grooming Day is celebrated annually on August 15 to challenge
outdated gender norms and encourage men to prioritize self-care,
hygiene, and overall well-being. It was created in 2007 to spotlight
barbers’ and stylists’ roles in men’s health, and it has grown
significantly.
Since its introduction, this day has become a
global celebration of men’s mental and physical health. It could be your
salon’s prime opportunity to connect with male clients in a meaningful
way. Here’s how you can make it happen.
“Groom & Go” Flash Grooming Slots
Using your trusty salon software,
update your schedule with a “groom & go” slot. Ideal for busy men,
this could be a quick 15-30 minute slot where clients can get a beard
shape-up, neck shave, or a brow touch-up on their lunch break.
It’s
perfect for the man who’s always in a rush or a new client looking to
get a feel for your salon. Feature this slot with limited availability
to entice clients to book before all the openings are taken.
Product Bar with On-Site Appointments
For many male clients, offering a seamless, all-in-one experience is ideal. With innovative hair salon software, you can prep automated messages to highlight a “product bar” your salon will be hosting during August appointments.
Create
a product bar with your salon’s offerings, or have each stylist choose a
selection of their products. Then, when clients check in for their
appointment, give them access to choosing a few products and creating
their own “self-care box.” Then, at checkout, offer a one-time Men’s
Grooming Day discount.
Surprise Gifts to Reward Loyalty
On
Men’s Grooming Day, reward regulars with loyalty-triggered gifts they
can claim at checkout. Build the rewards into the loyalty program you
already have set up in your software for hair salons.
Some gift ideas could include:
• Next cut free
• Free add-on service
• Premium product sample
If
a client is visiting your salon for the first time, you can encourage
them to sign up for your loyalty program when they make their
appointment or during their appointment. You could even offer a small
gift just for signing up during the promotion.
No matter how you
choose to celebrate, don’t miss the opportunity. Spotlight men’s care
during Men’s Grooming Day or turn it into a month-long celebration.
