[@krystalslaten3152]

I cried watching this at a certain point because I am a awesome stylist just afraid of failure. I have what it takes but just afraid but you encouraged me sooooooo much. thank you so much

[@laKeishaMichelle]

You're very welcome!!! Trust yourself! You got this!!!

[@jordan2tierra]

Same here...I’m always afraid of failure

[@laKeishaMichelle]

@@jordan2tierra you guys can do it!!!!

[@amandau284]

I know this was posted a while ago, but you are soooo right. I was crying laughing when you said "book me now" why? that was funny. I ran my own business for 5 years and went through a two year divorce, yeah two years. Just now getting back in the hair industry in my own suite. This video was soooooo helpful, recently found out hastags are everything. Thank you for posting!!! Blessings.

[@ayonnazglam9050]

Thank you so much for this video and tips!! Right after cosmo school I jumped into the salon but I wish I would have waited a little while and earned more knowledge plus took more classes..That experience wasnt the best and the enviroment was horrible with rude older stylist that I left the salon..Im ready to get back to it now with a better focus and a even more level head. Thanks again for this video!!

[@TraniaVirgoChic81]

I wish you were in St Louis!! God Bless You and all your endeavors 😊

[@mchellemchelle7901]

[@jahlawayda6062]

This was very helpful!

[@dyamond7270]

I just turned 18, and i cant wait to be able to give someone a lesson on hair and tell them how i started out. this is my dream!! And this video told me alot. I feel like you were in front of me lol, thank you because this is where I'm having trouble at.

[@laKeishaMichelle]

+Dyamond Lloyd love it!!! i am just seeing this comment!! so glad i could provide value!

[@influentialbeautij6151]

Girl I love your video

[@adorable9118]

Everything you explained is what I panic about daily I really admire your success and I wish you the best...please continue to educate us

[@laKeishaMichelle]

dont panic!!! just break it all down into bite size pieces so that you can breath and see clearly your next best step!!! fear is fake learn to use it as a measure so that you know that you're in the right direction!! if it doesnt scare you then it aint big enough!!

[@lovetasia]

I want to say that this video has gave me life lol I will be graduating cosmetology school in may of this year 2016 and my goal for this year is to build my clientele and start my you tube channel. I really needed to here this your are very genuine and you don't find that many stylist out here in our industry that will give you this type of info to help grow your self. So thanks so much. It's grind time now.

[@laKeishaMichelle]

+Latasia Shanelle you are so welcome and trust me you can do and be anything just keep positive people around you and make a list of what you want. then list all the ways you can achieve it and then go crazy attacking the vision until you arrive at something you are in love with!!

[@omipari6895]

When you " brush your teeth" love it!!! Great info and advice.!

[@kialeach8898]

Thank you for being so awake & sharing these great tips for beginners ! Watching this video was perfect timing.

[@laKeishaMichelle]

youre welcome!!

[@BossLdie84]

What's a nice way to ask your friends to pay? I have friends that ask me to do their hair but no one pays. Today another one said hey what are you doing tonight. Can you do my hair? I never know how to respond without being offensive? It sucks because they are willing to pay other stylists but not me because they know me. My family too!

[@BossLdie84]

And their thing is I'll help you like if it's braids they'll help braid etc

[@myaninskai198]

BossLdie84 tell them yu have to make your money like every one else you would like to get paid for your service speak up and if they Dnt like it tough love.. I was the same way in the past..

[@Passion0782]

Refuse to do them! I don't do friends or family I learned the hard way.

[@leahmanifes1210]

BossLdie84 i hope you got the answer you needed being that it's a whole year later but if not " you can be tactful but firm in what you are doing. i love you girl but this is my business now i do charge for services. i won't break your pockets but this is how i make my living! .......and if they don't respect that check whether they are your friends or not. for my best friend she'll never pay but my friends oh they pay. and I'm the nicest and used to be terrible with communication but now i see it effects my pockets not being assertive hope this helps!

[@gograybechic]

You gotta make those friends respect you NOW! The more you continue to let them get their hair done for free the less they respect your business. Treat your craft as a real business and not a hobby. You became licensed to make money NOT to do FREE hair! Let them know girl!

[@nikochic4236]

This is helpful. I’m in my fourth month of cosmetology and liking everything I’m learning. I’m afraid 😱 because I want to do everything, most importantly; hair restoration

[@divinecutz]

I loved this.... and the more you talked the more beautiful you became...........much success to you.....and thanks for sharing

[@TheFriedRiceChicken]

Thank you for this! I’m a new graduate from hair school and I’m my apprenticeship. I love your advice!

[@locstar0727]

This was very helpful.. I appreciate you for taking the time to share your knowledge

[@laKeishaMichelle]

You're very welcome. And thank you for taking the time to write a comment!!

[@lacewilliams7416]

omg u were really helpful to me i'm 22 and i own a salon i'm sooo good @ what i do but it's been 1year and 4months and i can't seem to build a good stable clientele....... it's so stressful

[@laKeishaMichelle]

i hear this a lot!! I believe the key is to get louddddd about what you are good at and then when people come to you over deliver and give them an experience and its so simple but dont forget to be on top of people about booking again and again!! you have to literally feel like a stalker!!! lol get uncomfortable and get creative. host events and network with businesses that compliment your business so that you guys can cross promote!! you have to think like a ceo and step from behind the chair! check out my videos on the ceo stylist they are packed with information

[@kaystylez4440]

You are truly an inspiration! Thank you so much for sharing this information along with your marketing boot camp video and the styles that you do. You should look into doing a video series that we as stylists can purchase and then you can also market it to the beauty schools worldwide because they definitely dont teach this in the schools. Thank you! :)

[@laKeishaMichelle]

you are so welcome thank you so much for watching!! and you're right its one of the number one questions I get ...how to build clientele. thanks for the insight

I really want too start doing hair but i don’t have stuff and the money to get the things to do hair. Buttttt I have a cousin who was a hair stylist and she does silk presses cuts and other natural hair. I want to braid hair straighten color and cut so idk how I would do that. But I do people’s hair in school but if it’s a new person I have to do I get nervous because I don’t want the to hate or not like the style.. my cousin also tell me to start doing peoples hair at school but I want to know how to price.. thanks for this video I really appreciate it💙💙 (btw I’m only 14)🙂

[@treniceg]

THANK YOU. FOCUS AND SPECIALIZE!!!

[@laKeishaMichelle]

Yesssss!!! Thanks for watching

[@treniceg]

This hit nail on the head for me, because I am finding that I am trying to do "everything" which has been very overwhelming. After watching your video, it put everything in perspective for me. I will never forget this video. Being married to a husband who's job causes us to move every 3-5 years ( one more move and we are through LOL) these tips will always be in my marketing journal. I appreciate you and this video more than you will ever know. I will definitely pay it forward! ( sorry for this long response, I am so passionate about my success and the success of others that will come after me.)

[@laKeishaMichelle]

+Trenice Crawford thank you so much for taking the tie to write I love knowing that this message helped someone!! And it's true let me give you some books to read "10x rule" by grant cardone sell or be sold by grant cardone and "the one thing" I forget the author but it's a great book black-and-white cover

[@treniceg]

THANK YOU "The One thing" by Gary Keller and Jay Papasan?

Bree07Bree you're welcome!!

[@crownbodyandsoulllc9222]

Do you have any advice on how to take your clientele (request clients) with you from a corporate salon? I created some business cards with my contact info on them just so that when I leave they can call me or find me on social media and I’ve been slipping them to clients when no one is looking but it seems like the other stylist are watching me now and the managers have even changed their workstations to be closer to me now! I think I was able to sneak about 100 cards to my clients so far but I know that’s not enough for me to be able to thrive.

[@redmoney119]

What are the rules of going to a client home and do services like eyelash extensions?

[@laurajohnson9309]

super helpful, ty.

[@laKeishaMichelle]
