Hi just wondered if anyone could give me some advice on what to offer staff as a discount for treatments and products? I used to let them get treatments free
Many thanks
I don’t know how one would go back on an already existing staff perk.
If you have such a successful salon you able to employ 8 members then you must certainly be doing well enough to have hired them.
Secondly if you Perhaps has a meeting and open discussion to hear the views of your staff might help in the change over process. You don’t want to come across as a boss who doesn’t care.
I would say it is fair to allow grooming treatments free, say making sure their brows are done and facial waxing and then other things like nails etc would be for their own cost price account if you were to decide to change your current staffing perks.
Another idea would be to allocate staff a budget , at say full cost like £100 per month they can use that coupon off having a facial and nails or either their hair at the going retail rate.
Anything outside of that coupon would be paid for by that member of staff at the full rate for the balance of that treatment.
Meaning full set foils cost like £120 so they pay in £20 (argument sake).
Then once that coupon is finished and they would still want say another treatment for argument sake spraytan, then you could allow this at a reduced price which would basically be your cost plus mark up less the labour cost (meaning they doing out hours so not costing your salon labour cost but you still make on the product used).
I think that’s a pretty nifty idea . Just thought it up now actually
