Networking is Powerful

As a client, are you aware that you are an integral part of multi-level marketing for the hair care business? By simply modeling your hair style in your daily work and leisure life, you’re a walking advertisement for your personal stylist as your hair makes a powerful statement about how your feel about yourself as well as your stylist’s skills. Your hair, its uniqueness and the unique way you wear it, generates the word of mouth “marketing” that makes you an influential part of the hair care industry. When people admire your hair, the perfect conversation—networking opportunity—begins about your stylist, current trends, and products. Information is exchanged, and you and the industry benefit.

Diversity in our salon

Today there is a growing need for salons to be able to service all textures of hair. Wouldn't you rather go to a salon that specializes in all textures of hair or would you like to continue to go to different salons for every member of your family? This is a concern that needs to be changed, largely because of the growing bi-racial relationships. Others may start making the change because the money is greener and they NEED to feed their families and pay their bills! We know that people today seek convenience, but more importantly, they really want service. Knowledge is the key to tapping into this clientele and giving them the best hair cut, the best color, and also the best texture! Tap in and make the change. Don't just go for the green without the knowledge and the skills that you have copied from someone else, who copied from someone else, etc.  -"Hair Doc"

Why Sharing Knowledge with Clients Creates a Win/Win

11/17/2010 Dear Nadine, I just wanted to take a moment to thank you for everything during our appointment. I am 32 years old, with medium length wavy/curly hair. I have struggled my entire life searching for the right techniques and products to use on my hair. I have gone to so many hair stylists, it’s ridiculous! Every time I have gone, I have struggled with: 1) the inability to cut my hair evenly and 2) a recommendation of a product that is sold in their salon. I have spent so much money on salon products that would supposedly make my hair less frizzy, protect my hair from the heating products, and make my scalp smell good. Before coming to you, I was straightening my hair with a flat iron at the beginning of the week. After about 2 days, my scalp would stink, so I would wash my hair and then wear it up, curly, for the next week. Then I would repeat the process. When I came in to see you, I was prepared to have a nice hair cut and relaxing day. I was not prepared for a...

It's Not a Black Thing, It's a Hair Thing

To professonal hair stylists and students: Have you consciously chosen to work ( currently working) in an all-white, all-black, all-asian etc. salon, or a salon whose environment reflects solely your particular ethnicity, race and/or culture? Are all your clients a reflection of your own ethnicity/race? Are you afraid to engage and cultivate a multicultural clientele? I'd love to hear your story and your reasoning if you're willing to share. Being a product of our environment or upbringing does not have to pigeon-hole and limit our capacity to broaden our perspectives. People truly are people, just as "hair is hair," no matter whose head it rests on. What you've experienced can be a timely and valuable lesson for someone else. -"Hair Doc"
