by By Alex Khan, Snapchat alexkhan1
Many of you are asking me why I am focusing on Snapchat lately.
Talk To Me
Salon surveys can reveal a wealth of important information about your business.
Britt Seva, author and founder of Flourish Salon and Spa Business Development.
Have you ever thought to yourself, "I wonder why that client I loved so much left?" Or, "Why the heck don't my clients ever buy retail"?
Up Periscope
The latest social media platform delivers live peer education, amazing networking opportunities and a new wave of must-watch educators and stylists.
Just when we thought we couldn't afford to spend one more minute on social media, Periscope hit the Internet by storm.
Catfishing
Guard your online identity.
Catfishing is an online term for someone who pretends to be somebody else online. On dating sites, scammers make millions of dollars on catfish schemes by luring vulnerable people into their web of lies.
Behave Yourself
On social media, what you post and how you interact with others can dramatically improve or damage your career.
For many users, social media is perceived as a virtual world where good behavior is optional. Where should you draw the line? Here are five things that you should never do or tolerate on any social media platform.

Mane Manse

Come Fly With Us
Known as the premier salon for education, environment and culture in the San Fernando Valley, Butterfly Loft Salon ● Spa has created a new paradigm for booth rental salons and salon suites.

How to Collect Better Testimonials
by Valorie Reavis, Founder of Linkup Marketing and Shout Lounge
One-liners may get a comedian a few laughs, but for your salon...not so much.
How many times have you written a testimonial for your clients and then simply had them approve it? Wait...don't answer that.
