How to increase the turnover of my hair salon? This is a real problem facing many salon managers (be it a hairdresser or a beauty salon).
Most salon managers have been trained to be a hairdresser and beauty professional, where business training is too often forgotten. Few or no knowledge of business creation and management are transmitted to you.
