Your growth ceiling
Every salon tops out at a number of active clients, set by how many new clients you get and how many you lose each month.
Not sure? Count regulars who haven't visited in 90 days, divide by your total regulars, then divide by 3.
Your ceiling: 800 active clients
40 new a month ÷ 5% lost a month = 800
You'll reach about 90% of it in ~45 months (~3.8 years).
Two ways to raise it
Both double your ceiling. Only one needs more ad spend every month.
