 For the first time, we’re doing the same with the SALON TODAY 200. As in years past, our list continues to honor the fastest-growing salons in North America—which, let’s face it, was no easy task over the past few years. But for this 13th anniversary issue, we decided to take the ST200 in a new direction by designating the salons that have led our industry in certain best business practices.
Our ST200 Class of 2010 has Tech Titans, Marketing Gurus and Retail Wonders. We’ve identified the Earthly Preservers, the Eager to Pleasers, and the industry’s top Talent Scouts. We’ve recognized the HR Wizards, the Rewarders and Retainers, the Education Champions and the Inventory Controllers.
Earning one of these Best Practice designations wasn’t easy. After requiring applicants to provide all kinds of illuminating details about their businesses, we asked multiple questions requiring detailed essay responses. And, we made them back up those compositions with additional data and statistics.
As a result, the ST200 continues its overall mission of establishing and providing important benchmarks that all salon and spa owners can measure their businesses against.
Think of this year’s honorees as the ST200 Class of 2010 and this issue as their yearbook. It’s a chance to look back and reflect on their ideas, and use them to plan the future of your own business
Although this year’s competition carefully considered other best practices, sales growth continues to be the hallmark measurement for the ST200. From 2007 to 2008, the following 100 honorees grew at percentages of 12 percent and above— quite an accomplishment in a year where a shaky economy rattled consumers and many companies posted losses.
