editorial assistant – all new joiners to the team. Thankfully we’re
all very much out and about again (just take a look at our HJ

celebration; check out the winners and see if you can spot yourself in our 5

you’re not looking ahead, you’re behind – that’s the opinion of one of
our writers this month. Which chimes in perfectly with our features on
salon software this issue. The experts break down exactly what consumers
want in 2022 on page 33, and we take a different approach on page
41 – unpicking why some salons say ‘no’ to software. At the end of the

day, the consensus is that you need a booking system that works for you,

whether it’s one that collects a deposit to lessen the financial impact of
cancellations, sends out bespoke marketing to drum up more custom or
even means all your clients’ notes are in one place. Or one that does it all!

importance of taking time to rest, relax and recharge. Sales Manager Matt Crane
