Prioritised<br />
indulgence<br />
As we all experience a constant state of evolution in the beauty & wellness<br />
industry, Fresha looks at the next big thing - Prioritised Indulgence.<br />
With over 100,000 partner venues in more<br />
than 120 countries, Fresha’s software<br />
simplifies business operations and has<br />
a spread of features so business owners<br />
can tap into marketing, payment<br />
processing and have their own place on<br />
the Fresha market-place.<br />
Fresha partnered with trend forecaster<br />
WGSN to decode the trends that are<br />
shaping, and will shape the industry.<br />
While the concept of wellness has been<br />
around for a long time, it now<br />
encompasses much more than just fitness<br />
and nutrition. Wellness is now much<br />
more about people’s emotional and<br />
mental wellbeing, too. In the WGSN<br />
report, Fresha found that over half of Gen<br />
Z, Millennials and Gen X see beauty and<br />
wellness services as essential, compared<br />
to 37% of Boomers. Younger generations<br />
are also more comfortable spending more<br />
time and money on beauty and wellness,<br />
reclassifying what was previously seen as<br />
indulgent into a necessity. So now that<br />
younger generations are driven by a<br />
renewed appreciation for self-care, what<br />
new opportunities can we unlock? And<br />
what changes should we expect to see in<br />
the near and far future?<br />
We’re seeing an increase in the<br />
length of appointments<br />
For a long time the beauty industry<br />
tried to appeal to a customer base that<br />
had busy schedules. Think getting your<br />
nails done on your lunch break, or making<br />
facials quick and easy to fit into your<br />
busy weekend. However, there seems to<br />
be a switch in attitudes. Katrina Krutz,<br />
founder of Southern Hair in the US said<br />
“clients are happy to be in the salon<br />
longer. It’s easier for them to block out<br />
a chunk of time in their day, than have<br />
to arrange lots of shorter appointments<br />
every 6 weeks”.<br />
