This episode is inspired by a recent review I received where a listener of the podcast is wondering what to do when a stylist who no longer works at your salon “goes bad” and is slandering your name and business, both to your remaining staff and the public. If you’re an owner (and hopefully a leader!) stay tuned, because today I not only share how to handle the “bad apple” who is doing this, but I also give you strategies for being proactive and ensuring this type of situation doesn’t happen to you! If you have a question for me that you’d like answered in a future episode, a great way to do that is to head over to Apple Podcasts and leave a rating and review with your question. I’m looking forward to answering your question on a future episode on the podcast. If you’re not already following us, @thethrivingstylist, what are you waiting for? This is where I share pro tips every single week, along with winning strategies, testimonials, and amazing breakthroughs from my audience. You’re not going to want to miss out on this!

#280 - What to Do When a Stylist Goes Bad…

The beauty industry has changed dramatically in the last 10 years.  

The days of hoping your good reputation and referrals was enough to grow or maintain your clientele died out and successful stylists today need a real marketing strategy.

It's actually never been easier to grow a clientele as a hair stylist or a business as a salon owner, yet stylists are giving up or struggling more often than they are thriving in this incredible industry.  

When I was first building my clientele, I realized immediately that nobody was teaching true business skills and long term strategies to stylists or salon owners.  What good is a license and an entrepreneurial passion without the skills and knowledge to actually make big things happen?

The Thriving Stylist podcast is a collection of interviews from super successful but not yet famous stylists, one-on-one coaching opportunities and actionable, strategic marketing techniques that you can use in your business today to see real results.

I'm Britt Seva, Social Media & Marketing Strategist for Hair Stylists and I look forward to helping you to create a wealthy life as a stylist.
