Boost Hair Growth with Follicle Boosters
Posted on October 14, 2009 with No Comments
Many of the folks I know in the salon and barber business tell me many of their customers – women and men – suffer from sort of hair loss or thinning, especially as their customers reach 40-50 years old. While its certainly more accepted for men, thinning hair on women is embarassing for many. The key here is…helping our customers with hair loss problems can help drive more revenue and sales.
Follicle Boosters
When discussing methods for increasing revenue and traffic into salons, several recommendations came up that salon owners and stylists should take a more active role helping their customers other than the traditional “well, you should try this shampoo” tactic. And while the objective is not to become a hair transplant or hair replacement specialist (or proponent, in fact), there are several things we can do, recommendations we can make, and products we can sell that will be a win-win for everyone.
First, understand your customers needs. Most men are indifferent to hair loss unless they are younger and are experiencing rapid hair loss or traditional alopecia male pattern balding. So, offering a shampoo for thinning that smells good and works well with their hair type might be a good suggestion.
For women however, finding more of a solution might be best. Women’s hair loss is often the result of hormones, dirt, oil accumulation, chemical treatments, poor circulation, et al. Recommending a topical application or a scalp cleanser might be most appropriate – especially if they are specifically formulated with active ingredients such as Minoxidil or Trichogen.
Second, understand what products might be helpful. Biojen® and Nioxin® are two of the most popular products for thinning hair and for har loss. There are also several alternatives. Nourish® makes a shampoo/conditioner combo called Awaken & Replenish® that works very well and gets high reviews. Also ProFolla® makes some topical applications that work and that are designed for use on men and women alike – a follicle booster and hair a growth stimulant.
All of these products are designed to boost hair growth and can be an easy way for you to increase revenue in your salon or shop. And, they all can be purchased at wholesale from manufacturers or distributors. Call 888-909-1658 if you want to get more information. The trick to helping cuatomers with hair loss is to understand what the problem is and formulate a solution – and if additional or new product purchases are included in the solution, then good for you. Either way its a win-win situation.
