Down time: use this time to be productive!

If we had a wish, most of us would probably like longer days!

Indeed, "time is money", especially when it comes to running a business. Learning to optimise your downtime is one of the keys to improving the productivity of your salon or beauty salon, and subsequently increasing profits. It takes planning, patience and a lot of discipline. 

If you don't know where to start, don't worry, this article will give you some pointers! We've put together a list of tips to help you make the most of your downtime and get the most out of your job while you're working.



The importance of time management in your salon or beauty salon

Managing your time well can have a positive impact on your work and your life in general. When you learn to control your time on a daily basis, you improve the productivity of your salon, as well as your ability to get things done, make better decisions and, most importantly, take control of your day.

This also reduces stress and allows you toachieve your goals more quickly and easily.


Go to online booking

50% of the appointments are taken outside of your salon's opening hours...
Don't miss any more appointments by integrating the online network directly to your website.


How to optimise your time?

Write down your objectives

To be successful at anything, you must first set clear goals. People who write down their goals are more likely to achieve them than those who just think about them. It will also save you a lot of time in the future. If you set aside time to plan your days, and clearly write down your daily and long-term goals, you will have a mission to focus on. 

These clear and defined goals will help you to focus on what is really important. We advise you to write them down and post them in a strategic place so that you can see and review them throughout your day.


Expand your knowledge

The acquisition of new knowledge is invaluable. We should never stop learning. Indeed, learning allows us to update ourselves, to become more autonomous, to make decisions with more distance, etc. To do this, we invite you to register on Wavy Content and discover our kits, practical sheets, white papers, etc.

Wavy Content isa free business platform that aims to give you the means to succeed in your mission as a business owner. It is a unique solution that combines all the necessary information (Communication, Accounting, Legal...), which you might need to take care of your hair salon or beauty salon.

At Wavy Content, you can also take advantage of the slack time to download Facebook or Instagram kits designed especially for the various events of the year.

Beyond the purchase of your technical and resale products, Wavy simplifies your life by providing a revolutionary solution for your purchases to be directly integrated into your cash register software.


Practice brain dumping

Brain dumping is a term that translates as "clearing your mind". All you need is a notepad or a piece of paper and a pen. Practising this technique in your downtime will allow you to clear your mind of all the thoughts that are cluttering it up by putting them on paper. This will free your brain from stress and anxiety.


Time is an irreplaceable asset. It is more valuable than money, especially in a fast-paced and overly competitive world. You can get more money, but you can't get more time.

Effective time management in your salon will help you boost your business and maximise your profits.

Wavy has all the tools you need to help you master time management effectively. We provide you with simple and easy to use tools to carry out the daily tasks in your salon.
