7 Language Tweaks to Elevate Your Salon Marketing

One of the easiest ways to improve marketing efforts for a beauty business or professional is to use more impactful words and luxury language in public-facing communications.

Here are seven effective changes that will enhance a beauty brand on social captions, website copy, and other marketing materials.

 

CHANGE: Dye

TO: Color

You dye an Easter egg; you color hair.

 

CHANGE: Discount

TO: Offer or Savings

Discount implies “cheap,” offer or savings implies “good deal!”

 

CHANGE: Coupon

TO: Gift

Coupon evokes “supermarket” while gift evokes — well, a gift.

CHANGE: Customer

TO: Client or Guest

A customer is temporary and transactional; a client or guest is long-term and familiar.

 

CHANGE: Cosmetics

TO: Makeup

Cosmetics comes off as outdated in a way that makeup does not.

 

CHANGE: Peel

TO: Exfoliation or Resurfacing

Peel tends to induce a visual that gives people the ick; exfoliation or resurfacing is a gentler way to say it.

 

CHANGE: Appointment

TO: Visit

Appointment gives a clinical vibe, while a visit is more welcoming. (Even more luxurious: reservation.)
