ACCESSIBILITY MATTERS

Make Your Salon Inclusive with Simple Changes Unlock New Opportunities

Creating an accessible salon is not just a legal obligation under the Equality Act 2010; it's a smart business move too. With over 16 million disabled people in the UK and a collective spending power termed the 'Purple Pound' worth £274 billion annually, salons willing to make reasonable adjustments are tapping into an under-served market. Simple changes like installing ramps or providing wide aisles can dramatically enhance accessibility, benefiting both clients and staff. By becoming inclusive, salons can boost their revenue by 1.6 times, improve customer trust, and attract talented staff.

It's disheartening that many businesses still miss this opportunity due to mere ignorance or neglect. Engaging with disabled clients to understand their needs or appointing an accessibility champion can transform a salon space into a welcoming and profitable environment. While inclusivity is indeed a moral imperative, it’s equally a strategic advantage that can set your salon apart. As Seema Flower demonstrates, making your clients and staff feel valued doesn't require a huge investment but can yield significant returns. So, isn't it time to audit your space and embrace this win-win opportunity?
