Prom Season: The Two-Week Sprint That Pays for Your Summer

Prom is short, intense, and high-volume — and with the right system it can be the most profitable two weeks on your salon's calendar. Host Maya breaks down four plays to turn the prom scramble into a sprint that pays for your summer. In this episode: Build a prom express menu — three or four fast, photogenic, durable looks that cut decision time on a high-volume day. Take group bookings with per-person deposits — lock in commitment and turn a hopeful headcount into a real one. Schedule for throughput — batch, stagger, and buffer like a kitchen during the dinner rush. Turn every look into content and every prom client into a summer repeat — capture the photos, plant the next visit. Curious what a few more booked chairs could mean for your numbers?
