Burnaby, British Columbia -- (SBWIRE) -- 02/09/2012 -- Dan Lok, the internationally renowned salon business coach, has launched a new salon forum to help salon business owners reach new heights of success in a highly competitive industry.

The forum, at http://www.salonbusinessexpert.com/community/, allows salon owners to interact with each other and swap tips on everything from how to get more referrals to how to sell more services to clients.

Lok also stops by frequently to offer advice.

“I created this forum to help my fellow salon owners build successful businesses and not just to succeed, but to thrive in these trying economic times,” Lok explained.

Lok was an entrepreneur from a very young age, and after successfully launching his own business, Sweet Nail, and becoming profitable with the first few months of opening, he focused his energies on creating a business model which maximized profit even in an area saturated with competition and in the depths of a recession.

Once he’d perfected his own system, he became a sought after paid consultant and speaker at industry events worldwide, and released the bestseller “Lies Salon Owners Believe And The Truth That Sets Them Free.”

Now, his valuable insight is available for free in his new forum. It covers using social media and the internet to get more clients, finding and keeping qualified staff, and much more.
