DESIGNED TO UPSELL AND INCREASE REVENUE FOR HAIR AND BEAUTY PROFESSIONALS 

Booksy, the leader in booking and business technology for the beauty industry, has just launched its new Add-ons feature to its award-winning app. This gives service providers yet another way to grow their businesses, and their revenues. During the booking process, the new Booksy Add-ons feature allows providers to showcase additional options to their customers. This helps them upsell services, increase revenue, and delivers added value to end customers.  

What are Add-ons? Add-ons are booked alongside an existing service to create a more unique experience. Examples include adding nail art or gel polish to a manicure, using premium products during a shampoo, using hot stones during a massage. Top sectors that use Add-ons to increase their overall profits are barbers, hair, and nails. Like many Booksy features, Add-ons are entirely customizable by the beauty professional and/or salon, barbershop, nail spa or other.  

As of today, more than 6,000 Booksy providers are using Add-ons to expand and upsell their service offerings. And it’s working. Booksy data shows, for example, all Providers using the Add-ons feature today, the revenue from Add-ons makes up about 20% of total Service value while revenue from existing Services makes up the other 80%. Since Add-ons became available to Booksy Providers and clients, the weekly average appointment value increased by over 70%.  

Currently, 56% of appointments booked with Add-ons are bookings made on the Boosky for Customers App – the easy-to-use consumer app that allows for simple booking for any beauty service. This indicates that customers are loving the newest feature too and are more likely to enhance their services when presented with a list of Add-ons upon booking. 

“I am so happy with the new Add-ons feature and my business has significantly grown since I started using it. I specialize in body waxing and in the past my clients would normally book one service through Booksy. I have experienced a huge increase with people booking additional services regularly and my revenue has absolutely increased as a result. People simply didn’t know all the options available to them and now those options and Add-ons are highlighted at the time of booking. The Add-ons feature has truly simplified the upsell process, saved me time, and benefited my business in so many ways. I highly recommend it,” commented Jess Oehler, owner of Ritual Wax Studio in San Antonio, TX.

Booksy, the leader in booking and business technology for the beauty industry, has recently unveiled their new 2022 marketing campaign, “Get Discovered”. 

Get Discovered is actually a love story and campaign dedicated to helping beauty professionals find their forever clients through the #1 beauty booking marketplace – Booksy. Just like online dating, any barbershop, beauty pro, salon, or spa can create a snappy, enticing profile, upload amazing work that best reflects their talents, and market themselves to find the right client matches in their area.

Get Discovered also focuses on highlighting one of many things that Booksy does best … connecting people via the Booksy Marketplace. Rather than be another run-of the mill, “all-in-one” booking solution, Boosky shifts the conversation. Powerful marketing and business management tools empower Providers to do more, and the Marketplace is the place where it all happens. 

The Booksy Marketplace allows providers the opportunity to find more of their ideal clients (not just cute calendar features) and retain them. Who wouldn’t love that! 

The Provider’s journey to getting discovered is as simple as these 5 steps: 

1. Create a Profile – share exactly who you are with the world 
   
2. Show your Work – create a Portfolio of your best work and showcase your mad skills 
   
3. Get Discovered – put yourself and your business on the map to attract the perfect clients 
   
4. It’s a Match! – get booked, paid, and re-booked all using Booksy. 
   
5. Long-term Clients – use the built-in Marketing tools to ensure client retention and repeat business 

Did you know about 68% of beauty professionals are looking for ideas and tools to optimize their business, be more effective and acquire new clients! Booksy can help with all of that.  

“Booksy‘s vision and goal is to establish itself as the top marketplace where beauty professionals and providers can discover new clients and keep them returning while promoting their talents. We want our users to thrive business-wise and provide the tools they need to accomplish that in a meaningful, robust, yet easy way. Through the Get Discovered campaign, we are looking to reach new beauty professionals and businesses and underscore our significant and unique advantages in the market,” commented Dee Hadley, Head of Marketing, Booksy.

Unique high-quality brushes designed specifically for barbers 

Garden has been a staple in the hair industry for more than fifty years, with the sole purpose of providing stylists with high quality, innovative, & cutting-edge salon tools. Over the years there has been a rise in dedicated artisan barbershops and a demand for brushes unique to styling men’s and short hair. 

Olivia Garden is excited to introduce a new line of high-quality tools designed specifically for barbers – the OG Barber™ Collection. 

The OG Barber Collections provides a wide range of high-quality enhanced tools exclusive to men’s grooming. This new collection includes paddle and round brushes featuring ceramic + ionic technology with ion charged bristles to help hydrate the cuticle, eliminate frizz, flyaways and add shine to hair. 

The collection is available in two different designs for varied usage: 

• The OG Barber™ Vented Paddle Brush – Olivia Garden’s classic scalp hugging design massages the scalp with comfortable ball tips allowing barber’s to quickly detangle hair with the ion-charged bristles hydrating the cuticle to add shine. The vented design maximizes airflow for ultra-fast drying so there is never more heat on the hair than necessary! 

• The OG Barber™ Round Brush – Features a barrel designed for creating shape and volume with Olivia Garden’s high-quality ceramic coating that retains heat evenly, so hair dries faster. The V-shaped bristle design allows for barbers to easily pick up even the shortest hair and control tension. Available in three different sizes, including Small (1”), X-Small (¾”) and XX-Small (½”). 

“Olivia Garden has been creating innovative tools for the professional salon industry for over fifty years and it is about time we entered the barber space,” said Anne Maza, Co-Owner of Olivia Garden. “We created the OG Barber Collection with valuable features that assist barbers in getting the job done with ease and comfort every time.” 

Each brush is uniquely designed with a timeless tortoise shell effect that will look slightly different on each brush. 

Both designs offer an ergonomic handle design that is non-slip, suitable for all hand sizes, great for easy rotation and entirely snag-free with a retractable sectioning pick. 

All brushes will be available at select Olivia Garden retailers, as well as on www.oliviagarden.com.

This past weekend (Sat Apr 9 – Monday, Apr 11) the SalonEVO and BarberEVO team packed their bags and took off to Chicago to attend the 99th annual America’s Beauty Show put on by Cosmetologists Chicago.

Beauty professionals, from barbers, cosmetologists, and beauty and skincare experts gathered for a weekend full of education, inspiration, demonstrations, networking, and of course, a little bit of fun too!

This year, EVO took their booth to the next level, offering attendees a unique opportunity at being on the coveted front cover of SalonEVO, with an incredible life-size, interactive, walk-in front cover photobooth. The EVO booth was also the spot to be if you wanted to learn from amazing educators, such as Miguel Rosas from Wahl Pro and Lici Febo from Andis who both performed live demos to an inspired audience.

The EVO front cover photo booth was graced by many of North America’s leading hair and beauty lights, such as the Ulta Beauty Pro Team, with Nick Stenson and Anna Manukyan, Danielle Keasling, David Lopez and Michelle O’Connor. As well as educators like the effervescent Kristin Kaide, Queen of the South, Nieves Almaraz and many, many more!

The team also had the enormous privilege of attending the 10th Annual Beauty Changes Lives Experience, which was an incredible night of fun, inspiration and education, bursting with industry icons all keen to support this wonderful charitable cause.

Thanks to all who stopped by and said hello! Until next year at ABS!
