Hair concerns we see in Cleveland

Booking seasonality in Cleveland

September through December is peak. January and February are brutal without a plan. Cavs and Browns playoff runs spike event hair.

Local events that drive booking spikes here include the Cleveland Marathon, Browns home weekends, Ingenuity Festival. The salons that pre-book around these dates instead of reacting to them lift Q4 revenue 15 to 25 percent without spending a dollar on ads.
