Co-promote

Co-promote your offerings, the popular service with the slow selling one. Suppose, most of your customers come for haircuts and hardly anyone gets hair massage done, offer a very attractive joint offer, like haircut + hair massage = $40, whereas hair cut alone bears the cost of $30. Make sure you aggressively promote such offers inside and outside the salon. This way you will not only hike sales, but also sell the lowest selling service.
