You know I work in a salon where there is NONE of that what so ever. I started working there at 50% commission with 0 clients. My boss has had her salon 17 yrs. I've been there 4yrs now and seen her clientele reduce and reduce. While mine has grown in the past 2 yrs where I get booked 3 to 6 weeks in advance. My clients always text me just to say can't wait for my appointment. I religiously follow this because he is right!!! 100% it has worked for me. Clients pay attention to the way you carry yourself, the way you interact with them, the way you make them feel. Where I am in the moment it's not the best place because my boss is always bringing negative energy into the salon and tension is high. So, I hope soon I can open a salon and keep having that SPARK everyone is looking for! Thank you your words are refreshing let's me not forget on why I decided to be a cosmetologist.

I have all the qualifications to practice the procedures but I'm now thinking maybe I should take a business/accounts course.... Should I take out a loan to make it the best I can? I don't want to fail. I see it too much these days. Urghhhh
@elainagarrett318008 жыл бұрын
I am in your exact situation. I want to be a cosmetologist and open my own salon too. Mainly because most salons don't offer everything I'd like to offer. I want to offer hair, nails, makeup, facials, eyelash extensions, eyebrow tinting and eyebrow waxing services. I want to make it my style and be my own boss. Also you'll make more money owning your own salon so that's another reason why i want to. I'm just scared of failing. I was thinking of maybe co-owing a salon too but I don't know.

Hi, Cara:- You don't have to take out a loan to take an accounts course. Just align yourself with a bookkeeper who can come to your booth, salon or home once per month to review your business operating expenses and give you feedback about how to manage your expenses and how you should plan to expand/grow your business.

The presentation and video was awesome. You are right about stylists and owners having the right culture together: many hair stylist are rude, not professional, and some don't even style hair correctly.!I have not had my hair done professionally in about five years, because too many stylists don't have the passion to make people like me want to come back. They lack customer service and many just don't care, so I just didn't care to go back to get my hair done by none caring supposed to be hair stylists. They forget that it is a business and they must make a great impression. Great video!👍💯💞💞

Appreciate the video but you’re no different than most people that we told our goal and dream too. Most people tell you why you can’t do something or why you will fail. The most important thing that I would tell a person who wants to open a salon is OPEN A SALON and learn as you go. If I would have listened to you, I would not have opened a salon but we did. We now run a half a million dollar in revenue business and our profit margins are impressive.

Hi, I agree with your advice tips. The key essential tips you described should be applied to any professional business industry. Whether a brick and mortar or mobile business, professionalism, culture - core values, beliefs, service, financial responsibility, and kind personality are some of the things that will be instrumental for your business to succeed. And, yes, it is very important to do reseasrch ahead of time. Be passionate about what you want to do and implement new concepts and ideas as you cater to your clients. Provide them with fun, exciting, and memorable experiences - as opposed to a mundane, sit and wait experience! Because at the end of the day, you want repeat business and/or referrals, don't you?

People go to beauty school and pay thousands to learn bad habits and salon owners can't afford to pay apprentices full time wages and train hands on much less the paid vacations you're saying should be paid. This government doesn't support small business. Where's your salon?? This was anything but inspiring, much like most beauty schools...

I started working in a salon again after having been off for a couple years due to a move and then being a caregiver to my husband. At the interview, I got the impression that I was walking in to a well established salon. In reality, it's a mess. recently one girl got fired and I have been scheduled to pick up the slack. The salon was supposed to hire someone after me so with me and before this lady got fired we were already working a person short and the manager doesn't seem to be actively looking for someone and she recently got in trouble with the law herself. I'm physically and mentally tired from working back to back. If you have and advice for me, please share. Also, you should know that I am a dedicated and loyal person in and out of work. Thank you.
