Like what you hear? Leave us a review!KEY TAKEAWAYS:🔅Maria was an assistant at 2 salons, then a licensed stylist at another salon, ran a home salon, and then went to a suite for about 10 years before opening her own salon.🔅Seeing fellow hairdressers at a salon that she assisted at own their homes, have nice cars, and have more control of their lifestyle, Maria knew this was the career for her!🔅Once Maria started growing a family, she decided to launch a salon in her home, which meant no rent, and that was the year she says she was " RICH"!🔅The home salon made it hard to have boundaries, which led to her going to a salon suite, which made things great!🔅Looking for a commercial broker, she discovered that male brokers gave her a lot of crap and even hung up on her! Finally, she found a spot to rent that was part of a spa and started her booth-renting salon!🔅If you think you will make a lot of money, do not open a booth rental salon unless you have a large space.🔅Do not go to a booth rental until you have a full clientele because of the rent that comes out weekly or monthly.🔅Being innovative with business models means you could be discovering something new that the entire industry adopts.🔅Maria sold her house to ensure she was well capitalized for her business to give her, her family, and her team stability and security.🔅You should have 6-12 months of bills when you start to give yourself peace of mind to build your business without pressure.🔅Peace of mind is important for you to focus on building your business. Stress will reduce your productivity.👉 Follow Maria on Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/mariaalexstyles/The Hairdresser Strong Show is all about Salon Owners, Rising Stylists, and Seasoned Stylists sharing their experiences, successes, failures, and advice to inform, educate, and empower their Fellow Hairdresser.

Lots of ambition; we love ambition!🔅Regine is grateful for the apprenticeship she took after hair school. The additional learning and experience that she got through training after school elevated her in a way she would have never accomplished without many years of training and paying for her own education.🔅Education is so very fulfilling when you are the one responsible for someone learning something new or you see a "light bulb" go off.The Hairdresser Strong Show is all about Salon Owners, Rising Stylists, and Seasoned Stylists sharing their experiences, successes, failures, and advice to inform, educate, and empower their Fellow Hairdresser.

Use this link to learn more, and join us! - https://www.eventcreate.com/e/bbb24KEY TAKEAWAYS:🔅 Jumping around between salons is normal at the beginning of your career.🔅 Seek community and mentors when looking for somewhere to work early in your career.🔅 Before venturing into the salon business, it's essential to meticulously plan every aspect, from the location and brand to the mission and financing, considering the impact on all stakeholders.🔅 Kathleen started getting to know customers in what is now called the "pre-consult" before we had the technology to make it easy to accomplish! Trailblazer!🔅 Color services have become very expensive, so making clients feel special and appreciated is imperative. The experience keeps them returning and paying the prices you want to charge!🔅 Prices increased quickly, and customers demanded more than good hair. They are used to having good hair at a lower price, but with new looks, they do not understand the additional cost and time, so they need to be educated. Their experience will make up the difference between the cost they think it should be and what they pay.🔅 Stylists want to work less and charge more. Some are making the same working less, some are pricing themselves out of their market, and others hit a ceiling, so they add hours...the jury is out🔅 Be prepared for downturns, walkouts, and attrition. People will leave you; that is part of the business. 🔅 Aspiring SALON OWNERS: Plan out your first few months of rent because the excitement and fun will be disrupted by your bills being due 30 days later.🔅Cancellation policies are best as a warning and for clients who take advantage (which is probably less than 5% of people).👉Follow Kathleen on Instagram👉Follow Inspire Salon on Instagram🚨Kathleen will also be a Panelist at our upcoming Beauty Business Brunch on May 19th in Washington, DC.

Then, you can reach out to those separately if you want/need to to make sure they get the message.-- Every business should consider having multiple forms of communication and marketing, and one of them should definitely be email...+ The engagement rate for email over IG is 5x higher!-- Claire recommends against providing a coupon or discount to incentivize clients to sign up for your email list. Instead, give them advice or educational content that provides value, not just a discount or a sales pitch.-- Do not sell every time you send an email; sometimes, you must give value and create excitement about yourself and your brand.-- Claire recommends and helps you understand how to use Flow Desk and develop your email marketing system.-- Email marketing doesn’t have to be more than 1x month as long as you are consistent.-- Integrated email marketing systems (the ones that come with your booking software) tend to have design issues and are not as powerful as separate systems like Flowdesk-- Ideas for emails: -- Make a tutorial video on social media and then send it via email -- Short email about a new puppy or a team member or yourself had a baby -- You or a team member had a life event -- Monthly newsletter -- New team member -- A new restaurant or cafe near the salon opened-- Consistency is the name of the game-- Lived in looks = not seeing clients as much which might = they forget to book their appointment; stay top of your clients’ minds with regular communication...email is one of the best forms!👉Follow Claiew on IG and check out his personal recommendations here.The Hairdresser Strong Show is all about Salon Owners, Rising Stylists, and Seasoned Stylists sharing their experiences, successes, failures, and advice to inform, educate, and empower their Fellow Hairdresser.

Leave us a review!KEY TAKEAWAYS:-- Stephanie started at the front desk and then started hair school part-time while staying at the desk part-time. Then she transitioned to being an apprentice/assistant until she got on the floor full-time.-- Stephanie's two salons were different experiences. One Salon was already existing, and she became part of the salon and then took over it. The second location was built.-- If your salon culture isn't where it needs to be, nothing else will matter; you have to get this together and everyone on the same page if you want to be successful.-- You have to take time to work on your business and not just in your business.-- Having systems to help organize your business and organize your teams' pathways to success will help you retain team members and excite new hires.-- Salon Owners tend to be firefighters, always just dealing with what arises when it arises. With systems and planning, you can take control of your business.-- In order to do hair because you want to vs. having to do hair to pay your bills and not just owning your job, you must systematize your business, get your culture on track, and be able to work on your business as a leader and coach. Get a coach to help you take your vision and turn it into a plan.-- Plan your business out, do the research, and seek mentors and salon owner groups before starting your business. If you already started your business, get a coach to help you navigate setting your business up!Stephanie will also be a Panelist at our upcoming Beauty Business Brunch on May 19th in Washington, DC.

Entrepreneurs, check out the SBA!-- Find a location, write a business plan, team up with a bank that participates in the SBA's 7(a) loan program(community banks might offer a more relationship-based service), and get a loan from them.-- Passion, positive attitude, relationships, and "jumping through hoops" enhance one's success in accomplishing one's goals.-- It becomes clear very quickly that running a business requires you to run your business just as much or more than you need to take clients.-- Finding common goals of love and respect amongst team members will help you go far-- Surround yourself with people who have more experience and success, and with others whom you can learn from and get advice. This can be found through community organizations such as the local Chamber of Commerce, the Professional Beauty Association, and other professional meet-ups, associations, and groups.-- Coaching is the highest level of adult learning; get coached and coach others.-- Ask for help and take advice from those with more experience than you.-- Bring in Innovation and go to Industry Events to take you out of the salon to help you build your brand.-- Relationships, Community, Asking for Help, Asking for Advice, Consistency, Love, and Respect are the keys to accomplishing your goals.Cindy will also be a Panelist at our upcoming Beauty Business Brunch on May 19th in Washington, DC.

Like what you hear? Leave us a review!KEY TAKEAWAYS:-- Our S.P.A.C.E is a holistic wellness and healing space that stands for Safety (he moves at the speed of safety), Play (what fuels his creativity), Agency (pushes him to say what he means and mean what he says & holds others accountable), Community (you can’t do anything alone; finding like-minded peers in, Exploration (keeps you growing) -- Victor believes that every individual on a spiritual, emotional, mental, and physical level needs those things (his own personal values that guide who he lives and leads)-- Victor has a non-traditional perspective of the industry (he thinks a lot about people and experiences in a given space). He is 33 and had a career in Corporate America (worked with students and been in HR) prior to joining the Beauty Industry. -- Victor sees a gap between exiting school directly and being the stylist you want to be. -- There are a number of different things cosmetology schools can do to increase the awareness of the students and help prepare them for longevity in the Beauty Career -- Bringing in people like Industry Aligned to discuss body mechanics and how it can impact your career or exposing students to L'Oréal’s Head-Up mental health training program -- Having an undergrad degree, he recognizes that many life skills aren’t taught in college, so it’s not just the Beauty Industry-- As Victor prepares for graduation by shadowing and interviewing at different salons, coming from an HR background, he feels there are places where we can add more structure, rigor, and process, especially so people have the information they need to make informed decisions to set themselves on a path to success -- How do we know what you say is what you’ll do if it’s not written down? How can I assess integrity and growth plans if it’s communicated casually as opposed to a place to access/as a resource? -- Think about providing various touchpoints of opportunity to learn more about people on a behavioral level -- Understand what the Rising Stylist does well and how they want to grow from a technical level -- Goal alignment: Where do you want to be, and how can we both push each other to grow and learn together?-- There needs to be more intentional conversations (less open-ended) but also honesty about the vision for the salon/space, how you are looking for folks to grow, and what might be coming that is on the road map. This will help Rising Stylists make informed decisions and Owners be more comfortable about talent coming into their space.-- This is not an individual profession; being a business owner is not an individual task (you’re leading & managing people and shepherding a vision. You can’t effectively shepherd without being able to share a clear vision, get feedback, and share expectations.-- At school, people have varying experiences because they don’t know what they should experience. -- Do the educators stay with you for the whole haircut or walk away and come back? How do we work together?-- Victor predicts that we will return to caring more about the fundamentals (WE all need to define what that means), but it will be led by the guests’ needs/wants. -- Guests will notice you gave them the exact cut they wanted, but if they say it doesn’t look the best on them and a stylist doesn’t have the fundamentals, they won’t be able to satisfy the client. -- Clientele and, ultimately, our pocketbooks will be the catalysts for this deep change in the industry, and he hopes we can begin to make that change for the health and integrity of the industry BEFORE it becomes critical.MENTIONED IN TODAY’S EPISODE:👉Follow Victor Scotti Jr. on Instagram, check out his personal recommendations, and more on his episode page.Find Victor's Pinq Magic Hair Growth Oil here!Victor will also be a Panelist at our upcoming Beauty Business Brunch on May 19th in Washington, DC.

Finding the hair industry was fate, as she had no intention of building a career in hair and had no idea about the world of stage, shows, and production.-- Being able to learn means being in a safe space to make mistakes while having the support and confidence knowing someone can step and and save you.-- As an early adopter to building her brand and clientele, Ruby used MySpace and found Mavens amongst sororities and groups to help grow her book.-- Ruby became a Bumble and Bumble educator and moved to DC-Maryland-Virginia area.-- Continuing her lean into technology, she built a big Periscope following and led to her becoming an independent educator.-- Then, she was pushed out of her salon out of fear she would take the stylists. Then, the stylists ended up leaving anyway.-- Using social media, Ruby shared so much information and created so much content that she was able to build her reputation, which transcended the virtual world into her reality.

Just making the affirmation does not mean it will happen.Titles need to be earned. This takes proving yourself and showing others; you must accept where you are and work towards your goals because they do not just happen.Failure is a self-proclaimed thing, not an absolute thing.Do not fake it until you make it...Make it; don't fake it. Accept where you are and that it is okay not to know everything. Focus on learning, growing, transparency, and acceptance of where you are in your journey and experience. It's okay to be imperfect and even fail. This makes you more interesting, and more people want to work with you!If you work with a coach, consultant, or third party, ensure you are organized for your vision because other people will have their own ideas for you that can conflict with you or other parties.

The IRS says that your credit card statement is not sufficient; they want to see itemized receipts.Meal rules change every year, so make sure to talk to your accountant to understand the new rules for deducting meals.Personal car use is only a business expense when you use it explicitly for business purposes...driving to and from work does not apply. Get QuickBooks and learn it; it will make your life amazing.Solopreneurs and salon owners have a better argument for the home office deduction, but you must document it by keeping a calendar that shows the time you spent in the office. S-Corps, not so much.Car Deductions: it has to be primarily used for business purposes and your commute to and from work does not count as a business purpose, technically.Meals at super expensive restaurants could be seen as research on your part into hospitality and customer service, but you must document the service on your receipt when you store it. Otherwise, it could look sketchy....basically, meals are not easily deductible and you do not get 10%Tips are income, and you have to claim all of that income. Venmo is a paper trail, and they will report you to the IRS eventually, so stay apprised of all updates and start claiming your tips now!TIPS: the Govt can assume you make 10-15% in tips of your total revenue. So, if you are not claiming your tips at all, then you could be due to pay back taxes and penalties. VENMO and ZELLE have systems to identify your transactions, so do not think that using those platforms and not claiming tips is safe.👉Follow Kopsa Ottee CPAs + Advisors on Instagram, check out their website, and get April's personal recommendations on her episode pageThe Hairdresser Strong Show is all about Salon Owners, Rising Stylists, and Seasoned Stylists sharing their experiences, successes, failures, and advice to inform, educate, and empower their Fellow Hairdresser.

Tune in to hear Georgia "G" Tournai speak in depth on varying pricing structures and ask: "why do you still have gender-based prices?"Follow/subscribe to be the first to know when new episodes are released. Like what you hear? Leave us a review!KEY TAKEAWAYS:Gender-based pricing for haircuts does not make sense anymore. You used to have beauty and barber shops where the women and men (respectively) would go weekly to get their hair done. Now, everything is a hybrid. Men get color and blowouts, and women get clipper cuts!The easiest transition away from gender-based pricing is based on the length of hair: clipper cut>short cut>long cut.Gender-based pricing is not a political, social, or religious issue but a moral one. Is it okay to charge different prices for the same haircut solely based on gender?If you want to give out discounts, for whatever reason, do not discount your services! Referral program for free products...give away products, not services, so you do not build a clientele always looking for discounts.Time-based pricing makes more sense for those who perform more time-intensive services, such as extensions and color corrections.Shorter services could turn into a debate with time-based pricing. If you finish a cut 5 minutes earlier than usual, do you give the customer a discount? Does the customer hassle you about the start time even though their appointment time is different from the start time?...consider all of this before making your decision.Do not specialize right away in your career. You should take time to learn the basics of a wide variety of work because you may not know how much you will love and be happy doing a service you never imagined!👉Follow G on Instagram & check out their website and previous episode on their episode pageThe Hairdresser Strong Show is all about Salon Owners, Rising Stylists, and Seasoned Stylists sharing their experiences, successes, failures, and advice to inform, educate, and empower their Fellow Hairdresser.

Leave us a review!KEY TAKEAWAYS:🔅Consumers are already online looking for reviews, bookings, and other information regularly; they want the same from you.🔅Utilizing technology in new ways elevates their experience and gives you a current and cool effect that differentiates you.🔅Picking a booking software is a very personal thing. Each salon has different needs, so there is not just one platform for everyone. 🔅Functionality: 🔅Online booking should sync with your Google or other personal calendar(s) for easy updating. 🔅Booking steps need to be easy, but information needs to be available 🔅You must have automatic confirmations and reminders to the guest; some have the ability to customize the message, and some have the ability to require a client to confirm by clicking or texting back before their appointment date 🔅You want an automated message soon after their appointment to tell them to rebook and/or write a review 🔅You want your online booking system to be able to remember your clients’ nuanced needs🔅Pre-Visit Consultations: Consult with them before you book so you properly book them for the services they want.🔅Use your downtime to reach out to clients who are coming in just to say, "Hey, I was just going through my schedule and saw that you have an appointment booked. I thought I'd check in to see if you would be making any changes. If you are, I want to ensure we have enough time to do something new. If you want to see some of my latest inspiration, here is a link ... or if you have some pictures, I'd love to see them!"🔅If you are not currently charging for virtual consultations, ask your clients for feedback and run a test/pilot. 🔅There is no "one-size-fits-all" solution; get used to designing a strategy, piloting things, & getting feedback before implementing it in full.MENTIONED IN TODAY’S EPISODE:👉 Follow Scott/Salon S.O.S. on Instagram, check out his website and more on his episode page.The Hairdresser Strong Show is all about Salon Owners, Rising Stylists, and Seasoned Stylists sharing their experiences, successes, failures, and advice to inform, educate, and empower their Fellow Hairdresser.

Like what you hear? Leave us a review!KEY TAKEAWAYS:🔅 Communication builds wealth: money, spiritual, etc.🔅Add Value: 🔅Educate customers on retail. "Tell, Don't Sell" is about value and education, not about selling products. 🔅Your body language + word choice + tone = communication; consider all this in your interactions with customers 🔅Don't do whatever the client wants without educating them on the maintenance and other red flags.🔅Product is not an option; it is a necessity...I could care less if they buy the product...“my attitude is not sell, my attitude is tell... I've embraced it as part of my professional responsibility."🔅Communication and Connection between owner and stylist is important: in today's world, owners need to listen to their team's needs vs their advisors and your personal needs. Find success by including your team in the development of policies and procedures.🔅THINK before you post: T- Is it true, or are you just making something up to build followers?H- Is it really helping someone?I- Is it inspiring, or is it creating issues?N- Is it necessary?K- Is it kind?🔅RETAIL: make it interactive, and don't just educate your customers on how to use products based on the directions on the back; show them how to use them in ways that are "outside of the box."🔅Word of mouth is more powerful than social, so wow your customers through communication and education.CONNECT WITH SAM👉Check out Sam's personal recommendations and previous episode here👉Follow Sam Villa on other social channels and learn more about educational & tools hereThe Hairdresser Strong Show is all about Salon Owners, Rising Stylists, and Seasoned Stylists sharing their experiences, successes, failures, and advice to inform, educate, and empower their Fellow Hairdresser.

Tune in to hear Claire (@clairemonroehairco) tell you why social media is not as important as email in growing and managing your business!⁠⁠Key TakeawaysClaire has worked in a suite, a small town, a salon, and a big city!Right before COVID, Claire became independent, renting at a studio, and then COVID-19 caused her to go to a suite!Suite owners have to do cleaning, hair, bookings, marketing, etc...it can be very overwhelming!Using email enabled Claire to manage her clientele and stay connected, more so than Instagram.Instagram is not going to get you the engagement that emails will.Suite vs. salon stylists should consider reducing their administrative work by focusing less on social media and more on connecting with customers.Create an email system to stay connected. Start with a welcome email with location, directions, getting to know you, and other things to know. Make sure your pricing is correct; it will likely differ from a salon.Schedule a day to handle your business, laundry, marketing, and admin time per week...you are a business owner now; you have to work on your business and not just in your business.The extra day gives you wiggle room to handle clients if you cancel on clients at the last minute.Take time for yourself, enjoy your life, and feel confident in working with systems in place to help you manage your business; email is a must-have!🔅 Stop undercharging your clients! You are losing lots of money! 65% of hairdressers in the UK are self-employed, hence the rise of salon suites!👉Follow Claiew on IG and check out his personal recommendations here.The Hairdresser Strong Show is all about Salon Owners, Rising Stylists, and Seasoned Stylists sharing their experiences, successes, failures, and advice to inform, educate, and empower their Fellow Hairdresser.

After helping his brother here and there with the business side of the barber shop, they had a chance to open a 2nd location, and Joe joined the team!-Do not pay yourself a lot in the beginning, and reinvest your money into your business if you plan on scaling (aka growing)-Having a 2nd location is not ONLY double the work; it is so much more than that! You have team building, decisions on how to divide your attention, and a lot less free time.-When the economy tanks and you have been stacking your money for reinvestment, you can relieve someone of their failing business. This is great for you and them because you expand, and you take a headache off of their hands! Taking over leases for struggling people can be a "God Send"!-Joe left a 6 figure job and went to a $0 salary initially.-When you have employees, you have a huge responsibility to keep the business secure.-If you want to retain your employees/team members, YOU MUST SHOW GROWTH.regular maintenance of the spacecommunity eventssocial media investmentsstaying relevant, not necessarily expanding to multiple locations-Aspiring Entrepreneurs:Be ready to sacrifice time with your familysacrifice time with your friendssacrifice football on Sundays or whatever pastime you are used to enjoyingsacrifice money-Your employees should not work more than you unless you have made it as far as you want in the expanding and building of your business...but you will still need to stay relevant and show growth to retain your employees -Business ownership is a mindset more than anything else....do you have the mindset of willingness to see the long game and make short-term sacrifices for long-term gains and fulfillment?-Build a cushion in your bank account before paying yourself more than the bare minimum.-Once you have enough money for payroll and to pay your bills, then build some emergency money of $5k-$10k (may vary if not a barber shop and geographic location)Playing it too safe is not good for businessyou are probably not paying your employees enoughyou are probably not staying on top of growing and maintaining your business -Having partners is a marriage and both should have the same mindset. -Partners should not come in just for moneyHumanize your team; do not make it all about numbers, but do not skip the numbers.The Hairdresser Strong Show is all about Salon Owners, Barber Shop Owners, Rising Stylists, and Seasoned Stylists sharing their experiences, successes, failures, and advice to inform, educate, and empower their Fellow Hairdresser.

On January 8th, , we were joined by:Diana Varvaro (@thebeautyartistnyc), School Director of Paul Mitchell The School, NYCNick Mirabella (@nickmirabella), Entrepreneur + Mentor + Coach, theWarehouse.Salon & NickMirabella.comSazuan Judkins (@mricreate_confidence), Barber + Barber Instructor, Hair Lab Detroit Barber School Ashley Gray (@ashesrgray), Owner + Master Stylist, Ash Salonto discuss strategies and other things you can do to attract & retain Gen-Z and other Rising Stylists!Here are the key takeaways:🔅Your Salon/Shop needs to be a destination. It needs to be cool. This is discovered via: Social media and online. Your digital presence is very important Word of mouth from other stylists and Rising Stylists🔅Be Nice! Generally, caring about people is supported by so much market research when it comes to being a leader that others want to work for or follow.🔅Study up on leadership, not just color and cutting skills!🔅Coach your staff on your core values; do not attack the person. Make any issues you have with behavior/performance/etc about your business's core values and the brand. It is not about the individual sucking; it is about you (the leader) finding the right team!🔅Get to know them! You may have noticed that Rising Stylists seem guarded or fearful, ask them how they are and care about them. This goes to a previous point… this is about humans, treat each other how y’all want to be treated!🔅Get to know how they learn…going with the previous point!🔅Mentor Rising Stylists: do not throw them in the fire and see how they do…they will leave you.🔅Take time to outline your training program so they understand their expectations, you have something to refer to when mentoring/coaching them, and so they feel confident in their potential to grow in your salon or shop.🔅Consider how/if you can adjust your training process to get your trainees “hands in hair” ASAP. They want to take clients and get working, so if you can figure out a way to promote them in steps, that would be amazing for them and you! (do not jeopardize the integrity of your brand, and DM if you want to talk about how to do that)One example is to have a blow dry bar that you can promote them to earlier in their growth process.👉If you have any questions or comments, Send us a DM: https://www.instagram.com/thehairdresserstrongshow/CONNECT WITH US📬 Subscribe to our free newsletter - https://www.hairdresserstrong.com/newsletter📸 Connect on Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/thehairdresserstrongshow/📝 Check out our Blog - https://www.hairdresserstrong.com/blogThe views and opinions of our guests are theirs and important to hear.

Leave us a review!KEY TAKEAWAYS:🔅 38-year industry veteran brought salon suites to the UK and is expanding across the EU!🔅 Growing up in salons with both parents being hairdressers, John was exposed to platform artists and knew that's what he wanted.🔅 Do not let anxiety or fear be your excuse not to take advantage of any opportunity; someone else will take it if you do not.🔅 John held the title of most expensive haircut: "The 30,000-pound haircut."🔅 Focus on building a solid clientele, and you can rely on it. Once you have a solid base of clients, you will have the security and income to do everything you want.🔅 Do not spread yourself too thin; hone in on your goals and focus. Build your skills and clientele before starting other businesses. You will have greater success!🔅 Ask others for help; they want to help you! If you find someone who doesn't just move on to the next person, more people want to help vs do not want to help.🔅 Just because you are not getting paid for an opportunity doesn't mean you shouldn't do it.

Work is part of your life, just like family and friends. Success in goals and pursuing your passion means learning to intertwine, juggle, and task-switching between work, family, rest, friends, community, etc.🔅Practice, Practice, Practice: Never practice what you just learned in a class on a paying client.

On November 27th, we were joined on Instagram Live by Diana Varvaro, School Director of Paul Mitchell The School NYC, to discuss hiring, training, and retaining Rising Stylists.Community Conversations are an opportunity for audience members to jump into conversations in real-time to create a dialogue instead of a static recording to listen to later.We asked if you had any questions for the students of Paul Mitchell The School NYC so here are just some of YOUR questions we covered:What struggles do students have with salon owners?What’s your biggest motivator? Is it money, satisfaction, helping people, etc.?What makes an ideal boss?What determines whether you stay at your ideal salon home for the long term?What’s the 1 thing you’re looking for in a salon?Besides technique & education, what’s the 1 thing you want to learn at your new salon?Are you willing to train for 6-12 months? This is not a mandatory time sentence, but 90% of our apprentices need, at least, 6 months, but the majority need 12 months of training.This is a list of questions the students say they have for Salon Owners (prepare these answers in advance for all your upcoming interview!)1.) How many days/hours are you going to give me as a schedule?2.) Are you flexible if we need time off or vacations, holidays or emergencies3.) What kind of benefits or incentives do you offer? And when will we get paid?4.) What does your training program look like?5.) Is your salon busy?6.) How can I grow and advance here?7.) What is your dress code policy?8.) What does your walk-in system look like, and how would I be able to build a clientele? 👉CLICK HERE to download a copy of ALL questions and answers we received!We will also be checking in with YOU to see if you used any of this information shared today to update your interviewing and other processes next month…So, mark your calendars for Jan 8th at 7:30 PM ET, when we will be discussing strategies and other things you can do to attract Gen-Z and other Rising Stylists…or just get them through your door to interview!👉If you have any questions or comments, Send us a DM: https://www.instagram.com/thehairdresserstrongshow/CONNECT WITH US📬 Subscribe to our free newsletter📸 Connect on Instagram🎵 Connect on TikTok📺 Watch on YouTube📝 Check out our BlogThe views and opinions of our guests are theirs and important to hear.

Tune in to hear Gino Maggio share the secrets of success through relationships! Follow/subscribe to be the first to know when new episodes are released. Like what you hear? Leave us a review!KEY TAKEAWAYS:👉 Relationships that we build with our clients are very special. There are all different types, too! Some are more transactional than others, and some are more intimate than others. The work we do and the impact we have is so much more than the transaction of haircuts, colors, and other chemical work.👉 If you dread going to work in the morning at your shop or salon, you should go on vacation, take a break, and ask yourself if you love this enough. If you do not love it, you will probably be miserable.👉 This industry is not for the weak. It is a lot of stress on the body, so stay on top of your posture and physical health… not to mention, working with so many different people with personalized needs is very mentally draining as well. Do you love it?👉 Go to shows, introduce yourself, ask to shadow or assist to get your “foot in the door,” and remember that relationships are key to your success.👉 Remember you put your pants on one foot at a time, and most doorways only allow one person through it at a time, so move at your own pace and focus on one step at a time, and you will be on your way to success and happiness.MENTIONED IN TODAY’S EPISODE:👉 Follow Gino on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ginothebarber813/ 👉 Follow Gino's Shop on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thebarbershop813/The Hairdresser Strong Show is all about Salon Owners, Rising Stylists, and Seasoned Stylists sharing their experiences, successes, failures, and advice to inform, educate, and empower their Fellow Hairdresser.

Tune in to hear Ashlee Norman share her story, how to think about education, and how to find your financial freedom!Follow/subscribe to be the first to know when new episodes are released. Like what you hear? Leave us a review!KEY TAKEAWAYS:-- Ashlee went to cosmetology school during High School and then went to University while working part-time in the salon.-- The ability and habit of focus and hard work was a natural fit to become an independent educator.-- She married her high school sweetheart, and ten years into hairdressing, she had her first child, and her husband joined her company to become a business team not long after.-- Out of school, it was hard to build a clientele because there was no social media.-- Ashlee got into education through visiting NYC, re-teaching at her salon, and building an apprenticeship program.-- In order to invest in her education and career, she did not go out much and took financial advice and this meant living in a 450 sq ft apartment ... hard work, sacrifice, and investment!-- If you want to have a truly enriched life, you must learn to manage your finances, which means not always getting your fancy coffee or nails done. It means staying in and saving sometimes when others are going out. Like the bible says: "A debtor is a slave to the lender" or in other words, living paycheck to paycheck is a form of modern-day financial slavery, and the only way to break the bondage is to make sacrifices of spending money and putting value in places that others around you may not see. Saving and budgeting early in your career is one of the most important things you can do.-- Getting into education before social media required working with a brand and working your way, slowly, up the ladder. Now, anyone who knows how to build social media can skip those steps of training and become an independent educator. Ashlee is working to bring back the super high quality of academy training from before social media to the world while using social media’s relevance.👉Follow Ashlee Norman on IG, check out her website, and all of her personal recommendations on her episode pageThe Hairdresser Strong Show is all about Salon Owners, Rising Stylists, and Seasoned Stylists sharing their experiences, successes, failures, and advice to inform, educate, and empower their Fellow Hairdresser.

Like what you hear? Leave us a review!KEY TAKEAWAYS:-- Crystal wanted to be a dentist, but after joining her sister for a haircut appointment after she cut her sister's hair, the hairdresser noticed her natural talent and suggested she go to cosmo school.-- After going to school, Crystal worked at a salon doing hair for an hourly wage. After 2 years of working at the salon on hourly wages, Crystal went to a booth rental.-- The biggest struggle Crystal overcame in building her business(es) is social media. Now there are tons of courses and podcasts where people discuss and teach so many different things that you can just google: "how to..."-- CUSTOMER SERVICE & EXPERIENCE:greet every single client the same way to ensure consistencynever let a client go unattended at the desk and welcome & acknowledge clients as soon as they enter your spaceclients need to feel like they come first, not usboundaries are important, but they are not necessarily something that you need to post about and/or signal to clients that they need to respect your boundaries...this can come off as egocentric or you having a bad attitudedo not push clients away; you are here to serve. If you do not accept this reality of service, you will have a hard time being successful long termask your clients what they like AND what they don't like about their previous service and remove your EGO so that you can better serve your clients-- Our business is like a membership...you want recurring business, not a constant flow of new clients-- Clear communication throughout the entire service about what you are doing and managing expectations. This will enable you to charge the customer to change their hair if they decide they don't like what they asked for...messing up someone's hair and not delivering what you promised means you have to pay to fix it.👉Follow Crystal on IG, check out her website, and all of her personal recommendations on her episode pageThe Hairdresser Strong Show is all about Salon Owners, Rising Stylists, and Seasoned Stylists sharing their experiences, successes, failures, and advice to inform, educate, and empower their Fellow Hairdresser.

Tune in to hear Shannon aka "PIGMENT" share how to get celebrity clients and the truth about mastering your craft!Follow/subscribe to be the first to know when new episodes are released. Like what you hear? Leave us a review!KEY TAKEAWAYS:- Shannon did an apprenticeship program, no formal school. This is where you get to learn on the job.-- Her apprenticeship led to automatic clients within the shop where she worked. Clients gain trust, and you are cheaper, so they switch to you. Then, if a stylist leaves, you get their clients too.-- Shannon moved to Vegas only to realize building anew is very challenging if you didn't work in a salon and have those relationships. So she left hair, only to come back!-- Starting back off, she went to a commission salon to build with the help of the salon and its brand AND without the cost of rent.-- Shannon began pursuing her passion for design and creativity to explore her hair piece and wig designing. -- This process required a LARGE investment of time and energy to hone her craft. This also cost her money for the wigs and hairpieces. She was her own model and worked with what she had to grow herself.-- Now, Shannon works with designers, charitable organizations, and celebrities like Cardi-B-- Try to stay mindful of your emotions and ask yourself why you are feeling the emotions you are feeling. Do not give into them, but ask yourself why. -- Why do you feel those things and figure out how to work on the reasons why, and not the feelings you are feeling...they will consume you, think depression and anxiety.-- If you want to work with celebrities, you have to be a master of your craft...this takes serious amounts of time, no way around it.👉Follow Shannon aka "PIGMENT" on IGThe Hairdresser Strong Show is all about Salon Owners, Rising Stylists, and Seasoned Stylists sharing their experiences, successes, failures, and advice to inform, educate, and empower their Fellow Hairdresser.

Systems, systems, systems! The secret to Rising Stylists is to be nice, organized, willing & able to have conversations around work, and pay different from previous generations.If you do not want to "hold their hand" or have a play-by-play for their work and training, they will likely not stay with you.You may have to teach Rising Stylists things that you think should be common sense or come naturally.

Inflation Is Still High💸 + Poll Says Parents Care Less About Manners👼 + Senate Signals Personal Image Is Not Important😣Every week I drop a video with information on what happened this week in the news that is relevant to the hairdresser, business owner, and entrepreneurs in this industry!📰🗞️Two stories this week have a lot to do with the conversation around attire, manners, and etiquette. 📣It is important to understand that manners have everything to do with how we treat each other. Being respectful and polite saying thank you and please are examples of good manners. Etiquette is generally regarded as a set of rules that tell us how to behave in various social and professional settings. Etiquette is constantly being questioned and changed, but manners tend to be relatively universal.🤵🤵‍♀️🤵‍♂️🤵🏿‍♂️🤵🏿‍♀️🤵🏿🤵🏽‍♂️🤵🏽‍♀️🤵🏽What does etiquette mean to you?When I think of these stories where 36% less parents believe manners are important than they did back in 1990, or the Senate suspending dress code for elected officials, I started to wonder how this is going to impact our business. I want people to want to get dressed up and go out places. I want people to be excited to come in and get their hair done or try on a new outfit.🎉I'm also working on a course to help train your front desk and apprentices in creating a high-end customer experience. This is a great opportunity for me to get your input so...🙏Do you think manners and or etiquette are important in our business? I really want to hear from you because I'm in the middle of thinking so much about this. I really want your input.🤔#thehairdresserstrongshow #beautyindustry #modernsalon #beautyindustry #beautylaunchpad #cosmetology #hairstylists #business #news #personalimage #etiquette #manners
