It’s goodbye Q2, hello summer! Let’s take a quick look at how DaySmart Salon has been helping pave the way to achieving your salon summer goals.
We can’t believe we’re already halfway through 2025! Q2 has been jam-packed, so we thought we’d create a quick recap of everything available to you to help power up your salon business and grow your brand. Let’s go!
April Highlights: Prioritizing Health and Well-Being
Running a business and being your own boss might sound glamorous to some, but we know just how tough it can get. In April, we wanted to remind you of the importance of self-care and finding some “me time” throughout the day. After all, how can you expect to run a successful business if you’re running on empty?
That’s why we compiled 7 Simple Self-Care Tips for Salon Owners and a downloadable guide to Kickstart Your Self-Confidence. Not into reading? That’s okay—watch our webinar on Switching Salon Stress for Wellness to shake off those bad habits and start feeling like your old self again.

Similarly, if you’re a bit of a newbie to the industry, we recommend you listen into our podcast Unlock the Power of DaySmart Salon, where we go beyond the sales pitch and pull back the curtain on what really matters to new users—the features that surprise people, the workflows that change the game, and the topics people don’t usually think to ask in a sales call.
Additionally, if you’re all set up but looking for ways to grow and boost your brand, take a peek at these 5 Ways to Market Your Salon Business.
June Highlights: Preparing for Summer and Beyond
We love to see salon professionals thrive. The best way to keep burnout at bay is to plan a summer break and get a little distance from work. As a business owner, you might think we’ve lost our minds telling you to step aside! However, a little planning plus some trusty automation will let you go on vacation, safe in the knowledge your business is running (almost 😜) as well as when you are there to keep an eye on it.
With our e-book to Prepping Your Salon for Summer, you’ll never feel guilty for taking that well-deserved break. We’ve also got the checklist you’ll wish you had sooner: How to Summer-Proof Your Salon Before Taking a Vacation. If that’s not enough, we went behind the scenes at the luxurious Jayden Grey Salon and chatted to owner Tony Barnes about how he managed to build his boutique salon. Oh, and be sure to take a peek at the latest trend rocking the industry: The Japanese Head Spa!
Maybe you’ve been wondering about whether to introduce surcharging to your salon. It is a bit of dilemma: card fees are eating into your profits, but charging clients more to pay by card can mar an otherwise perfect experience. We discussed the issue in our most recent webinar Pass It or Pay It. Listen in to gain some clarity and make the best choice for your business.
DaySmart Salon: Refreshed and Reimagined
We’ve also been busy future-proofing DaySmart Salon. We revamped our whole website with you in mind. What do you think of our glow-up? ✨ Same trusted brand, bold new look that’s easier to explore, faster to navigate, and better than ever on any device. Refreshed, reimagined, and ready for the next half of 2025!
