This month, Salon Today is highlighting four stories on how salons have evolved and improved since the 2020 shut down in all areas, including their service menus.
Owners have abandoned outdated “women’s” and “men’s” cuts for more inclusive language that puts the spotlight on the haircut—not the gender of the client. The result? Happy clients, happy stylists and a thriving salon environment.
Get inspired by these stories of change and progress in a chaotic world.
HOW TO DEGENDER YOUR SALON MENU
In recent years, salon menus have become outdated. Some men wear their hair long, some women love a buzz cut and some clients aren’t comfortable identifying as either gender. Proactive salon owners have recognized an evolving world and revamped their menus to make choosing a cut and pricing it simple for the client and stylist.
