Ideas for hairdressers

At the hairdresser, I spontaneously came to think about the following 5 ideas to improve the experience for customers and hairdressers:

Idea # 1
Make the ground around the chair, in which the customers sits, softer. That will make it more comfortable for the hairdresser to work. Consider, for example, using material which is applied in some playgrounds. 

Idea # 2
Make it possible for the hairdresser to raise and lower the chair in / from the ground. That will help the hairdresser work in more healthy positions and also help the customer sit in a position which is right for him/her. For example, the hairdresser could lower the chair of a customer who is tall and thereby avoid raising shoulders and arms to cut his/her hair.

Idea # 3
Make it possible to schedule appointments on the Internet. Thereby, hairdressers will be less disturbed by the phone when they are working.

Idea # 4
Place a self serve coffee machine and a couple of comfortable chairs in a corner of the hairdresser shop. This initiative will improve the customer experience in case of waiting time.

Idea # 5
Install speakers in the hairdressing shop that can be connected to any smartphone. Also, encourage customers to bring their favourite music on their smartphones. Thereby, the customer experience can be individualized even more. In addition, the music may serve as a conversation topic for hairdresser and customer.

Impressions from Ree Park in Denmark

I visited Ree Park in Denmark earlier this month. I had a great time there. Ree Park is an interesting Experience Economy contribution. Here are some impressions from the day, I spent there: The lemurs in the park look really cute and come really close to guests. The Cheetahs are really agile and can run more than 100 km per hour. This is what the cheetahs had for lunch. Listening to the guide talk to the large number of people watching the feeding of the cheetahs, I learned that it's horse meat. The white powder on the meat is, as I understood it, vitamins. Here's a coke machine in the park that is adapted to the surroundings. Good innovation. I think it’s a good idea to split up the park in different continents. That way, it’s easy for guests to learn about on which continents different animals live.

Trust

One of the most innovative innovation communities I have come across is Innov8rs . I experience that both in terms of how technology is used and how moderation is done, Innov8rs is moving well forward. This week, Innov8rs Connect, a free online event, takes place. The first webinar, I tuned in for, focused on trust. And it certainly did not disappoint. Both the expert, Philipp Kristian Diekhoener, and the moderator, Hans Balmaekers, conducted a wonderful jam session, during which questions, ideas and knowledge ping-ponged back and forth so well that it sounded like great music in my ears. After the webinar, I was still so excited about what happened that I decided to update research I did about  Trust  some time ago.
