Foot reflexology may appeal to customers looking for healthful, individualized services.

Consumers are looking for customized beauty offerings that provide unique benefits tailored to the individual, according to a recent report from research and consulting firm GlobalData.

So what does that mean for the nail salon owner? Here are a few ways to blend health and customization into your services:

  • Let customers select their own essential oils to mix into lotions and scrubs

  • Create custom-blended polish shades

  • Offer a skin tone analysis to find the most flattering polish shades

  • Stock a client’s favorite herbal tea to sip during her pedicure

  • Offer reflexology or another relaxing add-on, such as scalp massage
