Survival Tips for New Stylist
By Jared Jackson Dean
It’s no secret that the economy has been tough on stylist and small businesses. We work in a business where the beauty industry is completely competitive and in order to grow you have to be both creative and driven. If you are a student or a newly licsensed cosmetologist, getting your foot into the Salon door can be extremely exhausting and costly.
Education plays a major roll in the development of growth and becoming well-rounded as a stylist is no easy task. “Were not hiring at the moment or how much experience do you have?” How often do we hear these words and think, why did I ever get my license. Being prepared for this business requires some aggressive action plans and some early investment in education. You must be able to stand out and stay ahead of the 1,000’s of student and newly stylist that are graduating on the monthly basis to persue a career in Beauty Industry. Remember in order to make a great living in this business, you must think quality, quality quality. I have listed five key ingridents to help you get started:
- You must have 3-5 business and personal goals
- Attend two Business classes and two Hairstyling classes every year
- Send out 10 resumes to Salons. (Even if there not hiring)
- Practice blowdrying and cutting until your hands and fingers get sore…..
- Find a Mentor
The average hairstylist makes $25,000/yr. If you want to blow through six figures you must invest in your growth within the first three years of getting your license. I encourage you to stay committed, stay consistent and don’t give up on your dreams of success.
