The Retention Advantage.

Why every generation requires a different approach. By Emma Hindmarsh Conan, Founder of SomeplaceGood and GM of Murad Australia Two clients. Two consecutive appointments. The same concern noted on the intake form, the same treatment booked, the same expectation of expertise waiting in the room. But the similarity ends there. The first client is 26. She found your clinic on TikTok, has already watched multiple videos explaining the treatment she’s booked, and arrives fluent in ingredient language. She references actives before you’ve even touched her skin. She’s not here to be convinced. Rather, she’s here to assess whether your expertise adds anything beyond what she already knows. The second client is 54. She booked because her GP mentioned your name. She doesn’t want an ingredient lecture or a deep dive into formulations. What she wants is reassurance that you’ve seen this before, that you understand what’s happening in her skin,

Sell the Glow, Not the Glycolic

By Rachel Medlock. Your treatment menu is a list of vehicles. A 60-minute facial, a skin consultation, a 12-week program. They’re all ways of getting your client from where they are now to where they want to be. Nobody is buying the vehicle. They’re buying the destination. Your client isn’t awake at night thinking, “I wish someone would perform a 60-minute facial on me for only $199.” They’re thinking, “I wish my skin looked like it did five years ago.” Nobody has ever added a microdermabrasion to their vision board. They’ve added the skin that comes after it. The salons booking out understand this distinction instinctively. The ones struggling with conversions are almost always leading with the vehicle rather than the destination. They’re selling the plane ticket without mentioning the holiday. There’s a neurological reason for this, and it goes beyond marketing theory. When a client decides to book, the

The Evolution of Davines Essential Haircare

For a Good Life. In an industry constantly chasing reinvention, Davines has taken a different approach. Not louder, trendier, or dramatically different for the sake of relevance. Instead, the Italian haircare brand has focused on evolution. Thoughtful evolution. The bottles still look like Davines. The minimalist aesthetic remains instantly recognisable on salon shelves around the world, and the names people know and trust are still at the heart of the collection. But internally, almost everything has evolved. The formulas have evolved. The ingredients have evolved. The sourcing has evolved. The packaging has evolved. And underneath all of that sits something even bigger, a deeper understanding of not just what Davines creates, but why it creates it in the first place. It feels less like a marketing statement and more like a philosophy. “We believe that a good life is the harmony of purpose and wonder. And that we are all unique
