Auspector ·

Who sells to a new salon?
A new salon buys most of what it runs on in the weeks around opening:
- Professional products: colour, care and styling lines, nail, lash and brow supplies — an order that repeats.
- Booking and payments: appointment software, a card terminal, a point-of-sale system (see merchant services leads).
- Furniture and equipment: styling chairs, backwash units, hood dryers, treatment beds, mirrors and lighting.
- Insurance: public liability and contents cover (see commercial insurance leads).
- Accountants and bookkeepers: the first year’s books, payroll, chair or booth rental agreements where they apply.
- Web and booking pages: a website, online booking, photos of the work (see how to get web design clients).
- Everything else: towel and laundry service, signage, printing, cleaning.

In the United States, 44.8% of salon records have a phone number but no website information — 273,332 records. Of the six sectors we measure (restaurants, cafés, hair and beauty salons, real estate agencies, auto repair shops, construction companies), salons have the highest such share in 8 of the 10 markets in the table; the exceptions are the United States (auto repair shops) and the Netherlands (construction companies), where the sector in brackets ranks first. Across all businesses, the comparison is in the share of businesses with a website.
For a web designer or a booking-software seller, that share is the market. For everyone else it means the first channel is the phone and the second is the address — coordinates let a field rep plan a route. Rules on unsolicited calls and messages differ by country and channel, and the obligation lies with the sender; check them with your own counsel before a campaign.
How to build the list
- Category: hair salon, barber shop, beauty salon, nail salon, beautician. Categories are each record’s own and are not merged, so a nail-supply distributor can take nail salons only.
- Area: city and district; coordinates for a field route.
- Time: arrived in the last 30 days.
- Channel: phone number on record for a call team; add “no website on record” if you sell websites or booking pages.
- Watch: save the search and new matches arrive by email every day.
The same search works in every priced market — for English-speaking teams, the United States, the United Kingdom, Canada and Australia. Searching and counting are free on every plan, so check the monthly number for your territory before you spend a credit (pricing). Exports are CSV or XLSX with a stable ID per record, so a re-import updates rows instead of duplicating them. A record carries name, category, address, phone, web address and coordinates; there is no email column and no named-person column. The full workflow is in building a lead list from new businesses.
