TIMING!

Hello all.

Timing Timing TIMING! This is the most important thing to any and every successful hair stylist in the industry. You need to be aware of your timing and to keep trying to get faster (without sacrificing quality). To become more successful you should actively keep track of how long it takes you to do each type of service and to always try to pay attention to how you're doing as compared to the last time you performed said service.

Take today for example, I managed to place a full head of foils and have it all process in just under and hour, but much to my shagrin there was minor bleeding righhhht along her hairline. Not such a big deal eh? Wrong, her hair would NOT take color and I had to try to repigment two separate times. Now I was doing very good on timing, but a small slip up lead to me doubling the time of the service.

Just try and keep sure you're paying attention to what you're doing and to not sacrifice you quality for quantity.

Commitments!!!

Hello Friends, long time no see.


Today i'd like to talk about commitments, in life and in any industry keeping your commitments is the most important thing you can do for yourself and for those around you. You may not always be lucky enough to have someone who will give you second chances and you need to do the best you can in every situation and not rely on second chances.


If you make a commitment you need to keep it, deadlines need to be met and tasks must be fulfilled. If you're known for not being able to be relied on how do you ever intend to be taken seriously in the work place and be given responsibilities? If you're willing to work in a $10 hair shop go ahead and be lazy but if you want to charge $150 for a haircut you need to be prompt and reliable.


When you make a promise to someone you need to follow through. Build as many bridges as you can in this industry and gain a reputation for being able to be counted on and for getting things done. Our field relies heavily on word of mouth and public opinion. Do yourself a favor and follow through with your commitments.
