Salon SOP Integration Guide
Standardize procedures across multiple chairs or locations so every guest receives the same high-level care.
SOP roadmap
- Document the task (consultation, sanitation, checkout).
- Assign responsibility (stylist, assistant, front desk).
- Provide tools/templates.
- Set review cadence (monthly or quarterly).
Example: sanitation SOP outline
- Prep station (disinfect, set tools).
- Between clients (clean hair, disinfect tools, change linens).
- End of day (deep clean, log tasks).
- Weekly audit (manager sign-off).
Implementation tips
- Start with one pilot location or team.
- Host a training session; record it for new hires.
- Store SOPs in a shared folder with version history.
- Pair SOPs with KPIs (e.g., sanitation scores, client retention).
Tools to use
- Maintenance logs for tool care.
- Vendor Contract Checklist for brand agreements.
- Budget forecast sheets for financial SOPs.
Consistent SOPs build trust with clients, staff, and insurers.
