As salon franchises expand across the U.S., it's challenging for independent salons to compete in the $45 billion beauty industry. Founded in 2005, Salon Service Central (SSC) is the first company to offer reception, marketing and business management services specifically for the beauty industry.
A changing industry
The beauty industry has changed dramatically over the past five years. As chain and large full-service salons have expanded and increased profits, many independent salons and stylists have gone out of business or lost clientele. This is partially due to the fact that larger salons and chains are owned and operated by business or marketing professionals, whereas most independent salons are owned by hairstylists. Large salons also employ a full front desk staff to handle the phones, while stylists at independent salons often interrupt services to answer incoming calls, or rely on answering machines.
