🎤 Did I ruffle a few feathers??
Ya know I am all about running a business with honesty + excellence… so I am not telling you to make drastic changes without giving your clients a heads up.
🗣What I am saying is; when the time comes for you to raise your prices, shift your schedule or eliminate service offerings, as a hairstylist, you DO NOT owe a long winded explanation as to why you are choosing to pivot and grow your business.
👊🏻You are allowed to make changes within your business, and not feel badly about it. Between the cost of products rapidly increasing, or the need to adjust your schedule to better fit your lifestyle, you get to make those decisions without explaining all the details.
👉🏻I mean, The grocery store doesn’t announce when the cost of eggs goes up.
👉🏻Your insurance doesn’t consult you when they raise your rates and ask for your permission.
👉🏻Heck, your yoga studio doesn’t take a poll to get your thoughts upon their hours of operation.
Businesses do businesses as businesses should.
✂️ SO hairstylists, please STOP asking permission to do things that are in benefit for your business. And if a client presses you for information, or chooses to give you their opinions upon the changes, please take it for face value.
👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻
It’s An opinion; and everybody has one.
You have permission to do what is best in your business.

Taking the L E A P ✨
.

When I first finished cosmetology school, I didn’t have a job in the beauty industry for almost 4 months. I went to clients houses, did hair in bathrooms and washed people out in kitchen sinks (Cringe).
.
.
.
My first job in the industry was an assisting job, at a beautiful salon. I was told that if I pushed through each “level” in the program, one day I would get promoted to a rental stylist, when the salon owner decided I was ready. The structure felt comforting to me but I quickly learned that I make for a lousy assistant. I was clumsy and awkward and actually didn’t get to do much hair.
.
.
After 3 weeks I left/was fired from (I like to think it was mutual😂) that salon, discouraged and feeling like I didn’t have what it took to make it in this industry. I decided it was time to sink or swim and go for a job as a rental stylist.
.
.
.
I found the only booth rent in town I could afford and was so grateful for every damn head that sat in my chair.
The first year was grueling. I was full of self doubt and uncertainty but the one thing that remained constant was that I loved my clients and I loved being behind the chair.
.
.
.
That leap was the scariest one for me up to that point in my life/career. Just because I was following my passion in no way means that it was all sunshine and rainbows. I worked hard, I learned, I failed a lot and continue to do so. I’m still grateful for every single head that sits in my chair. Some days I feel uncertain but each year has brought me more amazing clients who inspire me with their stories, share their wisdom, and show me more love and appreciation that I even deserve.

So take the chance, you’ll either get what you wanted or learn what you needed. 💕✨
