The Aspiring Stylist with Tracey Franklin

As a hairstylist for over two decades I can tell you one thing - and that's you can't do everything.

You simply can't and that's a good thing! It's a good thing that you can't do everything, but that being said, you will need to learn more about yourself as a stylist and the industry to deside what it's good to miss out on and what you could hurt your career.

Let’s set the scene: you just graduated beauty school. Congratulations! You’re ready to take on the beauty industry, make some real money and only one thing is missing (the clients).

Starting as a new stylist can be difficult, but building your clientele from scratch is possible! Your first clients are usually family and friends, but the biggest challenge in the beginning gaining the trust of new clients.

Luckily, every new stylist can build their reputation and gain more clients through word of mouth, social media, networking, and client referrals. Building a clientele is never-ending and a good stylist is always looking for new opportunities to grow their network and wow their next potential customer.

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. We can get on our phone and instantly be connected with thousands of hairstylists with the click of a button and whether we mean to or not, start comparing ourselves to every move they've ever made.

It's easy to get caught up in this never ending cycle of comparison and judgement. Feeling like we're never enough. Not giving ourselves the permission to succeed, or at times the permission to even try. This episode is for all my stylists still questioning their greatness, this one is for you. 🫶🏼
