Save Money At
Suburban Hair Salons
Why are so many clients now leaving the city hairdressers to go to suburban hair salons?
“The only difference between suburban and inner city hair salons in Wellington is the price”, says Tina Fox – Professional Hairstylist at Taboo Hair Salon in Karori.
Tina who has been a hairdresser for 15 years and has previously worked in several inner city hair salons, said that “Because the rents are so high in the Wellington CBD area, the city salons have no choice but to pass on the extra cost to their clients”.
“The reality is that clients are losing money by paying as much as 35% more to the landlords for the privilege of having city hairdressers cut and style their hair, not to mention the additional parking costs too”.
Clients could potentially save hundreds of dollars a year simply by driving
as little as 5-10 minutes out of town to a suburban hairdresser of equal skills,
qualifications
and experience. For exactly the same quality (or better) result.

Spreading The Word - NZARH
By Tina Fox - Wellington Hair Stylist/Director at Taboo*
NZARH Salon Members - Tell Your Clients about the NZARH
Ok, so you’re a proud member of the
New Zealand Association of Registered Hairdressers (NZARH). You've got the association's logo in the salon window, maybe on your business cards and perhaps even displayed in your yellow pages advertising. But, what does that really mean to your clients and potential customers? Do they know about the
NZARH, what it means and what benefit
it is to them?
The NZARH is always exploring marketing initiatives and constantly looking for ways to promote the association and build public awareness for its members.
However, there is a lot that individual members like us can do to inform the public about the NZARH. Simply by you (and your staff) talking to your clients and educating them on the benefits for choosing to come to a NZARH member salon such as yours.
Make sure your clients know exactly what the NZARH logo means when they see it and why they should lookout for it when selecting a salon.
During your client’s next appointment or consultation, simply tell them that your salon is a member of NZARH and that it had successfully met the strict criteria required for joining (e.g. fully qualified staff, on-going industry training, etc). Also, about the assurance of professional quality haircare guaranteed by the association. As this will help build client confidence, trust and perceived value in your workmanship.
Building awareness and generating word of mouth for the NZARH will ultimately differentiate your salon as a professional establishment in the eyes of your current and future clients, giving you the competitive advantage over all non-member salons in your area.
Together we can help each other get the most from our NZARH membership. Simply by spreading the word and increasing public knowledge of the association. In the end it’s all to our benefit. So let’s all get talking.
