Hey Jodie guides
Salons & Spas guides
Practical advice for salons & spas on handling calls, capturing leads, and winning more work.
The best salon booking software in 2026 (an honest comparison)
A neutral, owner-trusted look at the real salon booking platforms - Fresha, Booksy, Square, GlossGenius, Vagaro, Mangomint and Acuity - with price, best-for and booking channel in one table, plus the gap every booking page dodges: none of them answers the phone.
How to get more salon clients (and stop wasting the demand you pay for)
A no-nonsense playbook for filling your salon chairs - the marketing that actually works, plus the step every listicle skips: making sure someone answers when the new client calls.
The real cost of salon no-shows and missed calls
Most salon advice stops at "rent and payroll stay fixed." Here is the actual math on what empty chairs, no-shows, and unanswered calls cost your salon over a year, plus a cancellation policy that holds up and the always-on fix.
