Whether you’ve already reopened your doors, or you’re still working on your plan, you’ve probably thought a lot about hygiene and cleaning for your business post COVID-19 and into the new normal. Learn more on how to clean your salon, spa, or wellness business on our blog.

When you do get to reopen, you'll likely have to operate at a lower capacity than you had previously to observe social distancing recommendations. You’ll probably need to increase the time between appointments to give your team ample time to wash hands, sanitize, and disinfect any equipment or space before the next client arrives, too. With fewer slots open for clients, it’s important that you take full advantage of what you do have available and don’t miss an opportunity to get a client on the books. Enter, the waitlist.

As salons and spas look to reopen, they’re not able to operate at the same capacity they were before the coronavirus pandemic. Social distancing limits the number of both clients and staff who can be at your business at any given time. The pressure’s on for businesses to make the most of each client who comes through the door. Learn how to maximize your revenue as you reopen.
