Decoding the Gen Z client: What they really want

Acceptance of their digital-first mindset

While 96% of Gen Z want to book appointments using their device, most salons and spas still rely on phone calls and outdated booking systems. Inside this playbook, discover why businesses with 24/7 digital access are winning Gen Z loyalty – and the exact digital strategies that create repeat business.

Hyper-personalization is non-negotiable

Generic service menus and one-size-fits-all marketing? That’s why you’re losing Gen Z. Learn why 90% say personalization is important during online booking and 89% are more likely to rebook with salons or spas that send personalized offers plus the framework for creating hyper-personalized experiences they crave. 

Wellness experiences matter more than transactions

Gen Z doesn’t just buy services – they buy experiences worth sharing. Discover why 42% of Gen Z are likely to choose a salon or spa with a loyalty program after a good experience, and how to transform your business into a self-care destination they’ll rave about online.
