Marketing Tips For Hairstylists

In this episode of the Big Money Stylist Podcast, Danielle K. White, the creator of Natural Beaded Rows (NBR) extensions and ISLA Hand Tied Hair, is joined by fellow stylist and salon owner Danielle Sprando. The conversation dives into the challenges and triumphs of becoming a new salon owner, the importance of effective communication and education with apprentices, and the ongoing journey of personal and professional growth. Danielle S. shares her recent experience of opening her salon and the goals she has set for herself, including becoming a better leader and mentor for her team. The discussion also touches on the value of setting realistic goals, the concept of living in "the gap" versus "the gain," and the significance of appreciating current achievements while striving for future success. Your Top 5 Action Items From this Episode: 1. Communicate Effectively: Whether you're working with clients or training apprentices, clear and detailed communication is key. Start practicing over-communication to ensure everyone is on the same page. 2. Set Structured Goals: Instead of vague resolutions, set specific, structured goals that align with your personal and professional aspirations. For salon owners, this might mean focusing on becoming a better leader and educator. 4. Appreciate the Present: While it's important to have future goals, don't overlook your current successes. Practice gratitude for where you are now and the progress you've made. 5. Seek Continuous Education: No matter how experienced you are, there's always room to learn and grow. Consider enrolling in advanced courses or workshops to refine your skills and stay updated with the latest industry trends. 6. Delegate with Oversight: As a salon owner, learn to delegate tasks effectively. If you're not keen on managing certain aspects of the business, hire someone with the right experience and establish regular check-ins to stay informed. ____________________ Let’s Connect...
