Ive been braiding for so long and I am realizing that my mental health changed so much as time went. I lost clients, followers, supporters, motivation etc. I realized positive mental health is needed for a job like this. I didn’t realize how much it impacted my business so poorly😩 yes this is just a bump on the road but this video helped me realize what really went wrong while continuing in growing my hair business. Thank you so much❤

[@TheReAlEtty]

For every client you have, do the same amount of things for yourself. Any kind of self care. Even having your favorite snack, taking 30 mins to relax, skin care, words of affirmation etc. If you have 5 clients, do 5 nice things for yourself.

[@rebeccab9131]

I really needed this! My braiding page feels like nothing is happening but I keep posting because I know someone is watching & growth takes time 😩😩

[@bambam6231973]

Are you in Chicago area?? Looking for a good braider.

[@justinohren8549]

Me too just moved to a new town and trying to build a clientele here but nothing is happening. StyleSeat has helped though

[@sophiab8899]

[@estherkei7006]

Thank yoi for the tips beautiful. I really needed this. I've been told many times to start a braiding business but I never really had the courage to and I doubt myself alot. I'm now a mum and I don't think I can work anymore for someone else anymore and I've been thinking of turning my hobby and what I'm good a t into a business from home. I just need some guidance and study as well to be a hair professional stylist (braids).

[@kmydesire12]

Glad you mentioned customer service. I’m not the best nail tech but people appreciate my vibe. I try my best to give exceptional service, I’m dress well and do my make up. That’s very important especially working with high end clients

I literally just got fired from my job and decided to take braiding seriously. I’ve been doing my own/family hair since 2019. I believe I’m pretty talented but I have doubt with the entire business idea.

[@yahniqueedwards231]

You can do it❣️

[@latinrufi]

Yeah I had the same and I began getting clients since a couple of weeks ago and getting into it. (Sorry for my English, I speak Spanish haha) You can do it!

Thank you for making this video! I have been going back and forth between whether or not to start a hair business and your video gave me confidence more confidence to start. Starting a hair business is very daughnting for me but its not that scary when you break it down the way you did.

[@dechale]

Right now, it's just an idea because I can't really get around to an actual job(may have to take the bus until I can afford hair and such to practice with), but I definitely wanna do hair, it seems to be the easiest thing to do to live off of

[@jazdumas7527]

Can you make a video on how to set up your booking site please

Thank you so much ❤️ But do I need to have a hairstylist license before I can make hair for people as in a freelance hairstylist?!

[@kimberlyossai4795]

thanks so much! I'm just getting serious in starting my business. What was the schedule App called?

[@holesinthefacee]

Where did you get your braiding rack from?

[@starrdestiny07]

Do you need to get a braiding license or cosmetology license in order to start your business or get a suite ?

[@beasaroseco5840]

That depends on your state. If you are just starting out work on family and friends until you can get into a shop. Many shops will let you work if you are working towards your license. Good luck.

[@daisyvasquez2724]

Hi. I’m a freshman in college in Hungary and I really want to take my braiding seriously. I looked for shine n jam or locked in everywhere but couldn’t find. Do you think I could use got2b gel or cantu gel as braiding gel?? Please i need advise.

Thank you!

[@Incognito.x]

Hey girl, I would like to start a hair braiding business and I wanted to ask if it’s best to tell your client to provide their own hair for hair appointments?

[@elepinkgold3792]

In my opinion no, because you know how to provide hair, what's the best for that work, ecc... the client maybe doesn't

[@lyricsfactory6072]

Can anybody recommend a channel that just give the step and gets to the point quickly that has videos like this?

[@Kimoja1]

How many clients do you take a day? How do you space them out if you take more then one a day I’m a cosmetologist getting back in the field on the bracing side and I worry about how to schedule it out or how man to take a day I hear some people will do styles that take longer like micro braid then the rest of the day do easier after styles ? How do you do it please I’d love a response ❤️ your name indybindy braids is so cute also do you supply hair if you do do you charge more or the same as if they bring hair

[@aminasesay491]

Yeah idk how to space them out 🥴

[@Indybindy]

hey love! Im glad you're getting back into it I love that for you!! Because I'm also a full time student I only take a maximum of 2 clients a day because a lot of the time I have class during the day. On days that I do take 2, I schedule styles based on my work hours. So for example, if on fridays I work from 9am-5pm I can either schedule 2 four-hour or less appointments, 1 eight-hour appointment, or depending on the time slot two appointments that fill up the slot. The longer appointments cost more, so I still will make the same amount of money by taking 1 client instead of multiple. And yes I charge more to supply hair but I just add it in the price. Also thank you!! I was trying to find something that rhymes with my name lol!
