Clients walk into a salon expecting an experience. They wait 10-15 minutes, sit in a chair for 1-2 hours, then check out. During all that time, they're looking around. What they see shapes perception—and spending.
SeenLabs treats the salon as a media network. Reception screens show services and pricing. Mirror-mounted displays explain the products stylists use. Processing area screens run relaxing content while color sets. Checkout screens promote retail and rebooking. The result: clients learn about add-ons naturally and buy more products without feeling sold.

Why Salons Need Managed Screens
A salon client visits every 4-8 weeks. Each visit is 60-120 minutes of undivided attention. This is a rare opportunity:
- Retail education: Show product benefits while stylist uses them—clients see results firsthand
- Service add-ons: Explain treatments (keratin, deep conditioning) during downtime
- Wait time: Turn 15-minute waits into brand experience with before/after galleries
- Rebooking: Prompt next appointment before checkout
When screens run as a managed network, seasonal promotions roll out across all locations instantly. New product launch? Show tutorials at every styling station within minutes.

FAQ
Can we fit screens at styling stations without blocking mirrors?
Yes. Mirror-mounted displays (15-21") sit at the corner of the mirror or on a small arm. They're visible to clients without blocking the stylist's view.
Who manages the content?
Owner or manager controls promotions from any browser. Stylists can submit transformation photos. Service menu updates take 2 minutes.
What happens during a network outage?
Media players cache content locally. Screens continue running during outages. When connection returns, they sync with any new promotions automatically.
Can we display our Instagram photos?
Yes. SeenLabs can display Instagram posts tagged with your salon hashtag or from your account. Great for showcasing client transformations as social proof.
What drives the most retail sales impact?
Tutorial videos showing stylists using retail products during service. Clients see the product in action, understand the benefit, and are more likely to purchase at checkout.
