I am sure you’ll agree with me when I say that the productivity of your salon business is crucial for your success. It’s very challenging to run a profitable salon unless you right size the time you or your staff spend with your clients. But how many clients does a hair stylist have a day? I decided to find out.
How many clients does a hair stylist have a day? The average number of clients a hair stylist have a day is 12. Most stylists have somewhere between 6-20 clients per day but the right number of clients depends on several factors. Let’s have a look at what those are and what you can do about it.
When is 6-10 Clients Per Day Right?
Even as few as 6 clients per day can be the right amount of clients to see in a day. However, you will then need to be able to charge a premium price at each visit to make your salon profitable. A low amount of clients per day fits salons that offer high price services that take time longer time to complete.
When Should You Consider Increasing Your Visits Up to 20 Per Day?
People have less and less time available today to take care of themselves. This is why we see a rise of new express services where the salon clients gets there service complete in short time. In fact, some new express salon concepts are built around that you get multiple services done at the same time to save the clients time. For example, you may get your nails done while you get your blow dry service.
You may also have a clientele in your salon that are not able to pay for a higher price service and in this case you can compensate this by shortening the time of the service and instead accepting more appointments during the day.
