Salon Owner Money Moves: Why Profitable Holiday Sales Start in September
Smart salon owners know you can’t wait until December to win the holidays. Start in September with the right money moves to boost sales, fill your books early, and enjoy a calm, profitable season.
Too many beauty professionals wait until the holiday rush to push promos, and by then it’s too late. The clients who would have bought are already booked or have already shopped elsewhere.
Here’s what smart CEOs do instead:
1. Launch Gift Card Packages & Bundles Early
Don’t wait until everyone’s inbox is flooded with Black Friday offers.
Start now with exclusive, limited-time packages:
“Blowout + Shine Spray + $50 Gift Card”
“Gloss Service + Deep Conditioning Mask + $25 Retail Credit”
These bundles feel luxurious, create urgency, and move retail early.
2. Host a VIP Pre-Holiday Event
This doesn’t have to be big or expensive; small and invite-only works best.
Showcase retail gift sets
Offer complimentary mini-services (hand massage, quick style)
Incentivize early rebooking for November & December
Clients love exclusivity, and you’ll lock in loyalty (and sales) before the chaos.
3. Pre-Schedule Your Holiday Promotions Now
Map out your November & December campaigns ahead of time.
Don’t be the stylist scrambling on December 15th to throw up a “last-minute gift card” post.
The advantage of starting now:
You control the calendar
You capture sales before competitors flood the market
You enjoy a calmer, more profitable December
👉 The bottom line: A CEO doesn’t wait for December. They design it in September.
