The impact of Social Media on Hair Salons and Stylists 

Hair salons have developed immensely as social media has taken off. The use of platforms like Instagram, TikTok, and Twitter has allowed salons to promote their services. Along with that, creating a place to share how a salon works and what to expect helps clients and new clients feel welcomed. Salons have seen an increase in fans as they begin to promote on social media more and more.

 

Hair salons also promote their stylists by posting “about me” articles. These kinds of posts help clients learn more about their stylists on a personal level. Trusting someone with your hair can always be challenging. Specifically for clients who are using a new hairstylist. Having access to social media, and these “about me” posts allows clients to feel comfortable with a new stylist. It can always be intimidating, but with this benefit, stylists can personalize their social media, allowing trust to be formed. 

 

Another great aspect of engagement on social media is that “I have begun to learn a lot through Instagram reels and TikToks” Says Tarra Snyder a local hairstylist. Social media platforms offer a way to see how other stylists are doing things and it has helped people learn new techniques. Seeing one stylist share how they give their client a balayage can help another stylist increase their knowledge. This especially benefits students who are attending cosmetology school or want to attend. Being able to use outside tools to develop in this field will benefit students, and create an easier process. 

 

Hair products are something people take pride in. Having a platform for hairstylists to recommend their favorite products is huge for this community. Stylists can post stories testing out new products and give their honest feedback. Along with this, many salons can get paid for promoting a specific product through social media. Having sponsorships increases the audience for the salons and the products company. Salons can carry a variety of products throughout their salon. Having the ability to promote the best of the best companies helps bring in more income for smaller businesses. 

 

The increase in social media has created a great impact on hair salons, specifically smaller local hair salons. It allows the ability to share posts, keep clients updated, and promote hairstylists. Having a platform allows larger fandom.

The beauty community as a whole has been impacted by the rise of social media. It has helped creativity spark artists. Specifically, the increase in social media usage has benefited many small local hair salons. It’s a great way for stylists to showcase what they do best, and increase the number of clients. Staying up to date with changes allows hair salons to use their platform for the greater good.
