There’s no denying the endless popularity of standard-fare services like haircuts, highlights, balayage, and the like — these are our “bread and butter” services, after all — but salon owners might be surprised to find that clients are willing to shell out big bucks for more out-of-the-box services. These standalone and add-on services are great for enticing new clients and getting your existing ones to spend more time at the salon.
If you’re looking to create some buzz around your establishment and draw in some new clients, consider the brilliant service offerings below.
1. Scalp Renew — Scalp renewal treatments exfoliate the skin on the scalp to encourage the regeneration of new cells for happier, healthier hair growth. The perfect treatment for men and women, you can offer this in-salon and then fill your retail displays with home maintenance treatments. This is also a great service to offer your bald and balding clients. Be sure to offer this service as an add-on to cuts, colors and blow-outs. As your clients receive this service, they will spend extra time at the shampoo bowl. Make sure your shampoo systems are comfortable for your clients to have a relaxing experience.
2. Lash Lift — Lashes are everything right now and clients are willing to pay whatever it takes for the perfect ones. Enter the lash lift! This hot treatment involves using a tiny curling rod and a lifting solution to provide lashes with a natural boost for four to six weeks. This is an excellent ongoing service offering that can help you generate repeat revenue. As an added bonus, it’s fairly easy to learn, so even new stylists will want to offer it to their clients.

3. Volumizing Treatments — Here’s another excellent hair treatment that you can use to pad your retail sales. Starting at just $20, this simple treatment involves using premium products and tools to volumize hair. It’s perfect for offering as a premium add-on to cuts and blowouts, especially for clients who struggle with keeping hair looking lively and voluminous.
4. Quick and Easy Eyebrow Tint — Chances are, if you specialize in hair or waxing, you already offer the brow tint as part of your standard menu. But have you ever thought about advertising it as a quick, standalone service? This simple and easy service can shave years off your guest’s look, and it only takes a few minutes.
5. Makeup Lessons — If you’ve got a few makeup pros on staff, consider offering in-salon tutorials to teach guests how to do their own makeup at home. One-on-one lessons tailored to individuals go for as much as $100 per hour and make great opportunities for upselling retail products.
These treatments are great for generating brand-new buzz around your salon and upselling your current client base. These services will get people talking and come with a bonus: They don’t require any hard-to-find tools! Minerva is here to help by providing you with the right salon equipment you need to offer a well-rounded menu to catch the eye of new clients and keep your regulars happy at the same time.
