What the thank-you gifts cost
Three habits that fill your book
- Tell every client about your referral gift. They can’t send friends to a program they don’t know exists. Mention it at checkout, put it on your mirror, put it in your booking confirmations.
- Ask for referrals — out loud. Your clients love your service and want to help you succeed, but most people never think of it on their own. A simple “if you know anyone looking for a stylist, I’d love to take care of them” is all it takes.
- Say thank you with a real gift. When a client refers a friend, give them a free blowout or keratin service to use at their convenience. It costs you one service; it earns you years of loyalty from two clients.
