Where the work comes from

Why introductions flow for a beauty salon

The warmest introductions don’t often come from cold advertising. They come from businesses who already talk to brides, busy professionals and regular clients. This is why wedding planners, photographers and hairdressers are such strong allies for any beauty salon, in Ingatestone or anywhere in Essex.

What happens on a Thursday

Members meet every Thursday from 6:30am to 8:30am, so it’s done before your working day gets going. Each week you have 60 seconds or more to present your services. Between meetings, you’ll arrange one-to-one catch-ups to understand who makes a good referral, and we have a strong social side too – summer BBQs, Halloween events and charity challenges.

What it costs

Visiting is free. Should you decide to become a member, membership fees can be spread into monthly payments, and there’s a 6-month trial membership if you’d rather test the water, which keeps it manageable for newer businesses.

Questions

Does the beauty salon have to be based in Ingatestone?

Not at all. Our members come from across Essex, so any great beauty salon in the area is worth recommending.

Do I have to join after my first visit?

Not at all. Your first visit is free, and you’re under no obligation to join. Join us one Thursday, see how the meeting runs and decide for yourself.
