Sometime figuring out what a customer wants can be the hardest part of our job. In this clip we talk about just that. 

This clip might sound basic but it really is the easiest way in. The way I started working for my first product company was by staying after a class and talking to the sales rep. I asked them where the next hair show was and if I would be able to volunteer. The key is to do it for the love and experience first not the money and you will go far. Good Luck!! 

Being worried if a photo or video is good enough quality holds people back from posting. This message is to remind you that as long as the message you are delivering has the intention to effect the person on the other end in a positive way quality doesn't matter. Happy Posting!! 

Having trouble raising your prices in the salon? The hardest part about raising your prices is understanding when to do it. Check out this clip where I discuss my thoughts on raising your salon pricing. Thanks for listening!

To give some context to this interview. I was attending NAHA in Las Vegas, NV and had the opportunity to sit down with guys for the Schorem Barbier a barbershop based in Rotterdam, Netherlands. This interview tells their story of opening the shop and how they started their brand Reuzel. This interview is sure to leave you inspired and entertained 😂

To my commissioned friends. Early in my career I worried so much about my commission percentage. Especially when I ran out of money. Now after owning a salon for 9 years I look at things different. I now understand that 90% of salons close within 10 years because even well run successful salon businesses are working with at best an 11% profit. which is not even 10% of the industry. The beauty of this business is we all have the power to make the paycheck we want. To get 40-45% of what you bring in is incredible if you think about it. I want to challenge you to focus on 3 things for 3 months. #1 build better relationships with your guests for instance listen to things they are saying about their hair and then offer some exciting things for their next visit. Doing this will instantly bring up your Frequency of Visit and Your rebooking percentage. #2 Average Ticket. Grow your average ticket by staying educated. Think about how when a new product comes out and you effortlessly sell it to your customers because it’s new and cool. This works the same with services. If you keep up on the latest trends through education you will easily be offering new services to your guests which will raise your average ticket. #3 change your work experience. Take pride in the way you prepare for each guest. When you’re not with a guest get a mannequin and try something new. Keep busy. There is nothing less motivating to yourself and the people around you then complacency. My point is The average U.S. Stylist brings in 50k in services. That means they take home 25k or less take home. Focus on these 3 things and send me a DM in 3 months I want to hear the changes in your mindset and paycheck. #makeyourownluck #freesaloneducation

Last night on Instagram someone asked me what I thought about stylists that take too much time cutting hair. Well here is my answer. Thanks for listening!!
