Have you ever had that awkward silence with a salon guest?... If you ever find yourself feeling like you need the confidence that top stylists possess… Then this episode of the 100k hairstylist is for you…

Confidence is a skillset and you can totally acquire that skill with a little training and sweat equity. It is so important to know these top tips to becoming a confident hair stylist and to start building competency!

If you don’t become a confident hair stylist there is a cost…

I have seen all types of hair stylists in the industry and the ones who are really making that money are the ones who have built that confidence and competency up. But the shy and quiet ones often appear “out of place” and the customer can feed off it, taking it as a lack of skill and confidence in their craft. That’s why it is so important to become a confident hair stylist! Most stylists who lack confidence ignore their lack of confidence and just make excuses for themselves by saying things like, “I don't like to talk”.

Studies have shown that a successful hairstylist is made up of 80% confidence and 20% skill. Becoming a confident hair stylist with built up competency is part of the job! Customers want and crave a relationship with the person who is doing their hair. They not only want to look beautiful, they want to feel beautiful too, and you can help them do that by becoming a confident hair stylist.

The hard numbers are proof of this. The hair stylists who don’t have confidence have low retail percentages, low retention numbers, less service dollars sold, and less tips.

If this is you...DON’T WORRY….As a top 200 salon owner and coach, I have helped many people on their path to becoming confident Hair Stylists. In this episode I share some of their stories with you so that you can jump start your journey to building confidence and your income! You’ll learn all of the tips to becoming a confident hair stylist who has built up competency!

If you ever had a customer that was not happy with the outcome of their hair… If you ever had a salon guest who was frustrated or just down right irritated….Then this episode is for you.

In this episode you’ll learn what to do when a client is unhappy and get all the hairstylist tips to handle unhappy client situations. Unhappy clients can be difficult to handle but if you are armed with the right systems, you can completely turn an unhappy client’s experience around and have them talking positive things when they leave!

But if you are not equipped with the right strategy to deal with unhappy clients… you could end up pushing them to become even more angry and leave you a bad review online. Not knowing what to do when a client is unhappy can lead to a few or more bad online reviews which could be detrimental to your entire business.

In the ten years owning a top salon in the nation, we have had a few incidents with clients who were unhappy that we learned from and were able to build preventative processes out of it. In this episode, I am going to show you exactly how we handle clients who are unhappy in the salon and give you hairstylist tips so that you can turn an unhappy client’s experience around and have them leave on a positive note too!

Watch now and learn what to do the next time you find yourself with an unhappy client.

If you ever see a fellow stylist in the salon start and finish a color application and say “you are so fast!” If you are frustrated because you want in on how to become fast at doing hair too… then this video is for you! Because…

There are ways you can become fast at doing hair to increase serving timing with precision too!

If you just accept the fact that you’re not fast at doing hair, labeling yourself as slow and say “it is what it is”, things get really ugly.

What most people do when they are slow is make excuses and take short cuts. But for most this never works. That’s why learning how to become fast at doing hair to increase serving time is key for these reasons:

If you don’t learn how to become fast at doing hair to increase serving timing you risk losing customers because they get tired of waiting for you to finish a previous guest and not respecting their time.

When you don’t know how to do hair fast to increase serving time, customers feel like you cut corners in their service and do not appreciate that. (they will notice)

The guest service team will not want to book customers with you and you risk not growing as a hair stylist who knows how to do hair fast!

But it does NOT have to be like this, you too can increase your service timing by learning how to become fast at doing hair while still having precision. I’ve got some tips that WORK for increasing your serving time and becoming a hair stylist who is fast at doing hair! I've proven them myself and for the artists I train as well. They will work for you too.

Head on into this episode and get on a path that will have your fellow peers saying “you are so fast” too!
