Is the salon in a town?
When i first opened my salon, i delivered letters to all the local businesses.
I just explained what we did, where we were etc.... and gave them a 10% off voucher that they could use for the next year on all services that they booked.I also included a business card and price list.
It just gets people in in the first place. These people still come to me now. They will pop in in their lunch hour or after work.
I get a lot of business from the local shops in my town.
I also give gift vouchers for local events like raffles etc.....
Anything that gets your name out there!
It's hard when you first start out but word of mouth is your best advertising. Unfortunately it's the slowest too!
Leave leaflets everywhere and get to as many local events as you can.
Good luck!

Emails are easily forgotten!
Hand the letters out yourself and ask them to pin the price list up in the staff room and then they will have a daily reminder
