Howarth Hairdressing

Just want to say a huge thank you to all my amazing clients and new ones,thank you so much for keeping me super busy over the last few months it means so much and I’ve loved it ❤️

I’ve finished today for a well deserved holiday and will be back open from Wednesday 22nd
May.

I only have a few appointments left for the rest of May and throughout June, however I’ll do my best to accommodate you all and will keep checking my messages.

Thanks
Helen ❤️

So tomorrow will be a bittersweet day as it is my last day working at howarth hairdressing.

Over the years I have met so many lovely clients who have became friends. It’s been such a pleasure having you trust me with your hair, whilst sharing your lives with me. Some that I will always keep in my life.

I want to thank Helen personally. She has been a great mentor, and we have become best of friends. We’ve been through a lot together (good and bad) but we have always managed to pull through and laugh life’s troubles off. We’ve been there for eachother and I’m certain it will be the same going forward. I couldn’t have asked for a better person to work with. We respect eachother and genuinely wish eachother all the success, we always have and always will!

I have spent 10 years at Howarth hairdressing, and I couldn’t have asked for a better salon to grow in, gaining personal growth and experience. I started working in the salon when I was 21, so that means I grew a lot!

As it marks 10 years, I feel it is time to move on to the next chapter in my life and progress in my career. Anyone that knows me personally knows it has always been my dream to one day have a salon of my own…

So I’m excited to announce that I am opening my first salon in Sunderland. To all my clients, old and new, you’re all welcome!

I will share more details with you very soon, but I want to thank everyone that has helped me, guided me and been there for me, it really means so much! ❤️

We hope all of our clients had a wonderful Christmas!

We are open up until sat 30th December, and then closed until Tuesday 9th January,

We hope you all have a brilliant new year! 🥂🎉

Done and dusted for another year! Thank you again to our loyal customers for their continued support. We would like to wish you all a very merry Christmas and a prosperous new year.

This is true!!

😳😳😳OMG YOU CHARGE A CANCELLATION FEE 😳😳😳

How dare you!

How dare you charge a fee when you didn’t deliver the treatment!

Crazy right?

Actually, nope.

Booking deposits, and cancellation fees are becoming a very common factor in the salon world.

And you know what?

THEY SHOULD BE.

Think of it like this…

Could you call British Airways after no showing for your flight and expect a refund?

Nope.

Could you imagine calling Virgin Atlantic and asking them for a seat on their Saturday 10:30am flight to Barbados, but you’ll pay when you get there?

Nope.

Could you imagine calling easyJet and telling them you can’t make the flight leaving in an hour but you’d like a seat for free on the flight an hour later?

Nope.

We work like a flight. Once the plane has gone, the seat has lost its money.

Same as your space.

Imagine arriving into work at the office and being told last minute that actually you weren’t needed for the next few hours.. but you will be unpaid through no fault of your own. Time you allocated to work to earn a living and you just have to take the pay cut without a choice!

When you work in a business where you trade time for money, time IS money.

So when people don’t want to pay for your time, and you put it on loan with no collateral, you risk losing that money.

Now, I know times are tough and odd and weird.

Costs are rising.

People are worried about money.

But we aren’t talking about booking vs not booking.

We are talking about booking space and paying for it vs not paying for it.

That’s very different.

Booking deposits and cancellation policies are in place to -

Protect the salon owner
Reassure the client
Make an agreement between two parties, official.

An agreement that says you’ll give your time, in exchange for money.

A salon owner should never feel guilty for putting a £ sign on their time or product.

It’s what every single business has ever done in the entire history of time.

Except the ones that didn’t. And they didn’t last.

Hit the nail on the head 🤯

⚡️Customer announcement ⚡️

To all our clients, unfortunately the storm has affected our telephone line. This will hopefully be rectified on Wednesday.

We’re sorry for the inconvenience, if you need to book or rearrange appointments, please feel free to message us via Facebook!

Customer notice

Due to Steven and Myself having to self-isolate as we have both been in contact with a person who has recently tested positive for COVID-19, I have made the decision to close the salon with immediate effect and will re-open next Wednesday 14th July.

I apologise in advance for any inconvenience this may cause and are currently trying to get in touch with all clients to re-arrange appointments.

Stay safe, Helen & Steven xx

We love abit of originality! ✨
