How To Run a Successful Hair Salon Business
By Ronke Lawal
Saturday, October 13, 2018.
Once in a while I have the opportunity to undertake business interviews with women in business and this was a really exciting one to undertake.
In this insightful interview, I meet Abbey Osho and we discuss how to run a successful hair salon like her business Salon ABV, and what others can learn from her business journey.
In this video, we cover tips for salon growth, PR and marketing, customer services, finance, offering a quality service and more. I really enjoyed speaking with Abbey, whose warm nature and honest answers ensured that this was a really useful interview which I am sure many will learn from. Please share and leave your comments.
Abbey Osho is a formidable award-winning hair entrepreneur with a thriving hair business in South East England. For years, she had a successful career as a housing practitioner but knew that it was not her life’s calling. In 2003, she moved to Dartford, Kent, an area with little to no services for ethnic minority communities at the time and was inspired by the gap in the market.
Seven years later, Abbey opened her first Hair salon Salon ABV. The business has been featured by Black Hair & Beauty magazine, Blackhair magazine, Brownbeautytalk online magazine and MelaninMindsoul Blog. Salon ABV has won Chemical Treatment of the year 2014; and kids haircare of the year 2016 at the NoScrunchie Good Afro Salon awards, which is a reflection of the level of customer care that the business has developed over the years.
The salon regularly hosts hair and wig care seminars and workshops and is becoming a central hub for Afro/Mixed race and curly textured hair in South East England and beyond. Salon ABV is also registered as a L’Oreal Professional salon. – https://www.salonabv.com/
