Carey Faulkner – Founder of Boost My Salon
A hairdresser, photographer, hair salon owner of an award winning salon, business consultant & finalist of best marketing at the HJ British Hairdressing Business awards 2016. With over 30 years experience in the Hair & beauty Industry, Carey is passionate about helping hair & beauty salons grow through education, quality service, marketing & differentiation.
It was 3 years ago that I decided to move away from the salon floor doing hair and changed my approach to becoming a marketer of my salon business and effectively became the marketing manager. Since focusing completely on marketing, the salon quickly grew in client numbers, referrals, average bill and ultimately more sales and profit.
To focus entirely on marketing is a luxury most salon owners can’t afford to do as they are the ones busy mostly doing hair or beauty. The challenge for busy salon owners is finding the time to focus on the business and all the important aspects that come with running a salon, such as marketing. Large companies have the luxury of marketing departments and personal to purely focus on marketing their companies. This doesn’t apply to salons apart from the salon groups and larger salons that can afford to do so.
As a salon business consultant visiting hundreds of salons over the last 10 years, empathising with the challenges salon owners have I knew an opportunity arose with sharing all the elements of successful marketing and best business practise and systems that has helped other salons and my own salon to grow.
The success of my own salon business is based on a good understanding of marketing and working closely with Dan Tiller the head of graphic design at BOOSTmySALON. I have pulled together a group of talented and creative people all with the same focus to help the hair & beauty industry prosper and get you, the salon owner and their teams earning good money that you all deserve.

Top Rated Salons and Spas
Who Are We?
Top Rated Salons and Spas is one of the UK’s independent salon and spa schemes for assessing professional standards and services within the hairdressing and beauty industries.
What Do you Have to Do?
Spas, Salons and Hairdressers have to submit a portfolio of evidence and videos. These are then objectively assessed by our professional independent trained inspectors against a set of strict criteria. In the same way as the well-known RAC or AA hotel guides.
How Does This Help You?
Unfortunately in the UK and Northern Ireland nearly anyone can open a salon or spa with little to no experience. Joining Top Rated Salons and Spas will show potential clients that they are in professional and qualified hands.
