Yes, it's not good for the client or salon

It's not only that, but the people who get these deals aren't getting good service either. We hear it all the time in the states, where clients will complain about buying a groupon on living social deal because the technitians will be rude or will give them a hard time when scheduling their appointments because they know they're not making money from them. It's bad on both ends

cyn_kawaii says:

Honestly it's a waste of time. Most salons that use groupon or living social use the clients as ginea pigs to practice on until they get the hang of it. I absolutely hate these sites.

cyn_kawaii says:

Assuming the client is generous and wants to leave a tip, the average tip is 5. That leaves you with 12.50 per hour. I worked with a salon who used groupon to promote their eyelash extension segment. I can say that from the living social clients, about 50% stayed to do the refill. The clients that come from these places don't want to pay but have absolute high end service. Most have said they wanted to do a full set without paying the full set price. This leaves them to afford the refill service

cyn_kawaii says:

Actually it's at most, half of the voucher that was purchased. For example, if you buy a 100 dollar facial for 50 dollars, the salon will get 25. However, the tech will never get 100% of the sale, but rather their percentage. So if their percentage is 30%, then their pay for that client will be 7.50.
