Salons to Unite Around Client Appreciation Event Starting in April

Feb. 9, 2012 - PRLog -- Boston, MA – Only 7% of women love their hair. To help women and men alike to fall in love with their hair again at an affordable price while enabling salons to retain or gain new clients, Salon Week (http://www.salonweek.com), the first-ever salon event that connects top stylists, is debuting on April 1, 2012 in Boston and New York City.

A  time in which top salons can show their appreciation for existing clients, bring back inactive customers or gain new ones by offering an attractive discount, the event will occur twice yearly in the Spring and the Fall in select markets across the U.S.

“Every salon owner faces similar challenges with customer acquisition and retention,” said Maria Lekkakos, President of Salon Week. “Many turn to daily deal sites, which diminish ones brand and most often brings in clients who come in only for the discount and never return. We’ve created an event that enables top salons to both show appreciation for existing clients and gain new ones.”

By participating in SalonWeek and offering 50% off a minimum of services from April 1 – 7, salons receive national advertising, PR and social media exposure. In addition, a variety of in-salon marketing materials are provided including t-shirts, brochures and more.

Dozens of salons in Boston and New York City have signed up in support of the event including Bradley & Diegel, Salon Eva Michelle, Salon Marc Harris and Studio 9. In addition, Salon Week is launching with the support of a number of top lifestyle and beauty brands, including Boston Magazine, Goldwell, Hey Hey Gorgeous, Nioxin, Oribe Hair Care, P&G Professional, Sebastian and Wella.

The event is being held nationwide for the inaugural event and is expected to expand to other cities for the Fall, 2012 event. Salons can participate for a fee of $699. For more information or to enroll, visit www.salonweek.com.
