Should you niche down as a hairstylist or keep offering every service under the sun? In this episode of The Rooted Chair, I dive into the real data, the pros, and the cons so you can make the right decision for your business.

We’ll cover:

  • What “niching” actually means in the salon industry
  • Why specialists can often charge higher prices and attract loyal clients
  • How a niche can make you stand out in a crowded market
  • The risks of limiting your services, from smaller client pools to trend dependency
  • A simple 90-day test to see if niching works for you

Whether you’re a booth renter, salon suite owner, commission stylist, or new graduate, this episode will help you understand the power—and pitfalls—of specializing in one area.
