Imposter syndrome shows up in many different ways for hairstylists, and it always has. But unfortunately ,with the rise of social media and the internet it's gotten 1000% worse.

On my first day behind the chair I had zero clients. On my second day behind the chair I had one client.One of the biggest misconceptions of the beauty industry is you'll have a full clientele the day after you graduate from beauty school, but this simply isn't true. In this episode we're talking about how many clients you need to see per day and how long it takes most stylists to get to reach this number. I'll walk you through some of the strategies I've used throughout the years and how I encourage stylists to grow their clientele straight out of school.

There's a stigma around admitting you don't have it all figured out.Of course, you're gonna make mistakes, you're still learning. You will always be learning. Whether you're learning on purpose, or life's handing out lessons for free, you will be a completely different stylist in five years and in five years again. So much of the treasured knowledge that I carry with me was learned by things not working out by making mistakes and learning from them and by asking for help when I needed it. This is where I see the most potential go down the drain. People are afraid to admit they don't have all the answers and in time, that mindset will paralyze you.

Stop thinking about your business as selling and start thinking about it as empowerment! Your mindset is everything and I promise, your clients pick up on what you're thinking. Too many stylists are passing up their opportunities to educate, empower and uplift their clients because they don't want to recommend another product or service. You have to remember, this is why your clients are coming to you! They want you to give them recommendations. They want you to teach them the best way to care for their hair. They want to look and feel the best they possibly can and this episode we're talking about how we can stop blocking ourselves off from selling and start empowering.

No matter what your philosophy or mission as a hairstylist, we all have one thing in common - there’s only so much time in the day (and that goes for everyone) both ourselves and our clients.For new stylists everything takes longer. Haircuts, colors, extension application, you name it, it takes longer. But I’ve known many stylists that are tenured in their career still struggling with time management. For some stylists they think they’re doing their clients a favor by taking all day to process their hair. “It’s just how much I value my clients” “I want everything to be perfect”, but I have to tell you something, a client that has to spend all day in your chair to get a cut and color probably doesn’t see it the same way as you.Today we’re talking about what it means to value your client’s time AND yours.
