How Clients Will Find (and Choose) Your Salon in 2026
Business Strategy Roundtables
This round table looks at how clients find and choose their salons in 2026. We’ll explore how search is evolving, what AI means for visibility, and why being clear about what you do, and who you do it for, matters more than ever. We’ll talk through the role of your website, Google profile and socials, and how they work together to help the right clients find you. We’ll also look beyond the screen. From local marketing and community presence to the importance of human connection and trust, this session is about building visibility that's achievable - not exhausting.
