Selling their own specialist services to hair salons
Most hair salons are small teams where the owner still works on the floor and makes every buying decision between clients. They buy products, booking tools and marketing from people they trust, often after a short chat at the front desk or a message that shows it understands salon life.
Freelancers usually find work through their network, job platforms and word of mouth, which makes income uneven. A small lead database of your own gives you a steady list of companies to approach when the pipeline runs dry.
The hair salons that need their own specialist services are listed publicly. What most freelancers lack is a list they own, with the right fields, that shows who was already contacted.
What freelancers run into with hair salons
Outreach tools charge per credit or per seat, which is hard to justify on a freelance budget.
Riftjaw has no credits and a free plan to start, so you can build your first list without a card.
You forget who you emailed last month and risk writing to the same company twice.
Every contact has a status and a history of every mail, so you see at a glance who heard from you.
Salon owners rarely reply to a first mail because they are busy with clients all day.
Statuses and tags show who has not replied yet, so you can send a short follow-up to only that group.
Directory exports list salons without an email address, only a website.
Email from domain builds likely role addresses such as info@ and hello@ from the website so you have something to start with.
A week of prospecting in Riftjaw
Monday: collect
Export a batch of hair salons from public listings and import it. Duplicates are skipped.
Tuesday: fill in
Derive missing emails with info@, hello@, bookings@ and salon@ and tag the records that look like a fit.
Wednesday: reach
Send one mail about your their own specialist services to the new segment, in small batches.
Friday: follow up
Opens and clicks show up on each record. Set the ones who answered to Replied or Customer, so the follow-ups of the campaign skip them.
Angles that work with hair salons
Use one angle per campaign, so the results show which one gets hair salons to click.
- Refer to a recent cut or colour they posted, then link it to how your offer helps them get more of that work.
- Offer something that saves the owner time at the front desk, such as fewer no-shows or faster rebooking.
- Keep the message short and friendly, because the owner will read it on a phone between appointments.
Fields worth recording for hair salons
Any column in your import can become a field. These are the ones worth keeping for hair salons.
| Field | Why it helps |
|---|---|
| Company name | The key field. Duplicates are checked on it or on the website. |
| Website | Needed to derive an email when the export has none. |
| Chairs | The number of styling chairs tells you roughly how big the team is. |
| Booking system | Knowing what they use now shapes a software or integration pitch. |
| Speciality | Colour, barbering or bridal work each call for a different offer. |
| Product brand | The brand they stock shows whether a distributor pitch is a switch or an add-on. |
| Most salons show their work there, which gives you an easy opening line. |
Questions people ask
Most people start from Google Maps listings, booking platforms or a local directory, collected with a scraper or by hand. You import that CSV or Excel file into Riftjaw and map the columns to your own fields.
Yes. Add a field or a tag for the type of business and save a filter for each one. A campaign can use each saved filter as its audience.
If your file has an email column, that wins. If it only has websites, tick the prefixes you want, such as info@, hello@, bookings@ and salon@, and Riftjaw derives addresses from each domain. Derived addresses are good guesses, not verified, so start with small batches.
Yes. The Free plan runs the whole pipeline on one list with small campaigns, and you do not need a credit card. Move to Pro when you want more lists, segments and bigger campaigns.
