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

High-Ticket Strategies: The Revenue Sitting in Your Chair

 By The Salon Dr Across the salon industry there is constant conversation about social media, marketing, and attracting new clients. While visibility matters, one of the biggest missed revenue opportunities is not outside the salon, it is already sitting in your chair. Every day, salons serve clients who are open to investing in higher-value services, yet many teams are still hesitant to confidently recommend them. This hesitation is not about demand; it is about strategy, structure, and belief. High-ticket services should never feel like upselling. They should feel like the natural outcome of a professional consultation viewed through the client’s lens, not the salons. When consultations are surface-level, services remain transactional.  When consultations are diagnostic, personalised, and solution-focused, premium maintenance services become the logical recommendation. Clients do not resist higher investment when they clearly understand the result they are protecting or enhancing. It is never about the cost; it is

NSS: New kid on the block – DappleOS

DappleOS Draws Attention at NSS 2026 with All-in-One Clinic Management Platform By Jarred Stedman, Mocha Group General Manager Sydney, Australia — Non Surgical Symposium (NSS) 2026 While much of the attention at this year’s Non Surgical Symposium (NSS) focused on emerging treatment technologies and patient outcomes, another conversation was happening behind the scenes; how clinics can better manage growth, compliance, patient journeys and business performance in an increasingly complex aesthetic landscape. One of the companies attracting interest at Sydney’s International Convention Centre (ICC) was DappleOS, an Australian-built clinic operating platform designed specifically for aesthetic, medical and wellness practices. During NSS, Mocha Group General Manager Jarred Stedman sat down with DappleOS Chief Customer Officer Chris Jacko to discuss how the platform is helping clinics streamline operations while maintaining compliance and enhancing the patient experience. A Growing Need for Integrated Clinic Technology As aesthetic practices continue to evolve, many clinics find themselves

Cert 3 in Barbering Is Staying – And That’s Big News for the Industry

By Jimmy Rod Many people within the barber industry may not realise just how close Australia came to losing the official “Certificate III in Barbering” qualification. Recent discussions around training reforms nearly saw the qualification renamed to “Certificate III in Hair” with specialisations in Hairdressing and Barbering. While the training itself may have remained similar, removing the word “barbering” from the title would have been a major step backwards for an industry that has worked hard to establish its own identity. Thankfully, after strong industry feedback and consultation, the Certificate III in Barbering is staying. For many barbers, this decision represents far more than just a qualification title. It is recognition of barbering as its own profession, with unique skills, techniques, culture, and career pathways separate from traditional hairdressing. This situation is not new. The barber industry has faced similar challenges before. Not too long ago, the dedicated barbering qualification
