Listening to customer feedback is very important in the lash business. Ever heard that the customer is always right? Sure you must have and that’s what you should always have in mind
when dealing with your customers. The fact that you are a professional doesn’t mean that you can’t get new ideas from your clients.

There’s no doubt that lash retention is a major issue in the lash industry. But how do you overcome the problem and prevent it from affecting your business?

You should be as professional as possible especially when it comes to matters of communication. Make your clients understand that you are in a serious business by acting similarly.
Customer service
Customer service is a crucial part of any business. Have you ever gone to a store to purchase something and the attitude or treatment you got from the attendant made you feel like “I will never come to this store again”? That’s the same thing with your lash business. Ensure that you treat your clients with the utmost respect and never fail to thanks them. Besides that, you can decide to offer free services for your most loyal clients once in a while as a way of appreciating them and promoting your business.
Pre-book before your client leaves
Pre-booking has proved to be a great customer retention strategy for most business. Pre-booking simply means asking your clients for permission to book their next appointment before they leave.
The best way to achieve this is by explaining to your clients what pre-booking is, why it is important that they do it, how they should do it and how it will be evaluated to benefit them.
