\u201cNo shows\u201d, where someone books an appointment but doesn\u2019t turn up on the day, without letting the salon know in advance \u2013 have been a problem in the industry for some time. In fact, reports state that 33.7% of people have \u201cno-showed\u201d at some point.<\/p>\n
Right now, after months of closure and reopening with reduced capacity, the hair and beauty industry is struggling. The industry needs our support more than ever before.\u00a0We\u2019re supporting the #NoMoreNoShows campaign, which aims to educate customers on the potentially devastating effects of not turning up to their booking and the impact that this loss of revenue has on a business.<\/p>\n
While it may not feel like a big deal in the grand scheme of things, even a small number of customers not honouring bookings can mean the difference between business success or failure.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s not just the beauty industry that suffers, the hospitality industry is having the same issues. The #NoMoreNoShows campaign spans industries and sectors and has been launched in an attempt to spread awareness of the issue among consumers, in the hope that it will spark a change in behaviour.<\/p>\n
\u201cAfter the events of the last four months \u2013 and with the government not allowing beauty to reopen at the same time as hair salons \u2013 we\u2019re fighting for our industry. We are slowly getting back on our feet but with continued no shows and reduced capacity, the industry will struggle. If you can\u2019t make it to an appointment, please do just let us know. It helps professionals manage their business much more efficiently. We need to start changing the way customers behave and the notion that a \u2018no show\u2019 is more acceptable than cancelling \u2013 as it is not. Help support the industry in staying open by showing up to your appointments\u201d.<\/p>\n
Madeleine, Treatwell Supply Director (Northern Europe)<\/em><\/p>\n \u201cTreatwell has the one-step functionality to reschedule up to one hour before your appointment, even if it\u2019s prepaid. We get that plans change, but no shows are not an option. \u2018No showing\u2019 has to become unacceptable behaviour across all industries. People need to become aware of how it damages businesses and, ultimately, costs people\u2019s jobs. Cancelling or rescheduling is fine, but let your salon know in advance. Give them the opportunity to fill the vacancy so as not to lose revenue. Many salons are already opening up and operating at a reduced capacity and already have extremely tight schedules and margins. We need to support the industry and help wherever we can. Let the salon know, the earlier the better.\u2019<\/p>\n Joanna, Treatwell Brand Director<\/em><\/p>\n <\/p>\n #NoMoreNoShows \u201cNo shows\u201d, where someone books an appointment but doesn\u2019t turn up on the day, without letting the salon know in advance \u2013 have been a problem in the industry for some time.
