Being a hairstylist is truly a beautiful thing. It’s not an easy career, but it is an incredibly fulfilling one. Finding your lane, or what you want to specialize in, can have its own challenges, and you’ll need to prepare for them ahead of time. We humans don’t like surprises. We want to be successful and wealthy!

Working as a hairstylist exposes us to chemicals that are not found in nature. We breathe in toxic chemicals day in and day out, whether we’re working with color or styling hair for weddings. All of this toxic load enters our bloodstream and taxes our livers. Overtime, our livers get overloaded and can’t filter in the same way they used to anymore.

As an independent hairstylist myself who struggles with creating, editing, and uploading content, I want to help you out. I put together a calendar with 37 topics that you can re-purpose and re-use for an entire year.

You’ve been looking for a job at a salon and found a promising one that seems reputable. You’re excited to start but you have heard so many negative things about salons, you don’t know if you’ve found the right one yet. So what gives?

But you can also lose a lot of business.

So you’re a hairstylist, and you want to - not only - understand your client, but also deliver. You want them to be happy, and you want to feel a strong sense of accomplishment when you’ve finished their service. You want to see that big, bright smile on their faces and a tag on their selfie post once they get in the car. You also want to go home feeling high as a kite because you just nailed your work.

On Monday January 9th, I went live with Hairstory’s Wes Sharpton to talk about my biggest passion atm: hairdressers making passive money online. If the pandemic has taught us anything, it’s that we are standing on shaky ground. We’re also in high demand because the world needs hairstylists! But our livelihoods can be taken away because we have to physically show up to get paid.

So you’re a hairstylist and you want to be noticed on social media (obviously) so you’re posting befores and afters, videos of you dancing, working, tips on your formulas or photos of your team. It’s taken hours and hours of your time, and sometimes you enjoy it while at other times maybe not so much. But you still show up to build your brand and your reputation.

I’ve been using Square since I branched off on my own as an independent stylist and I cannot recommend it enough! I absolutely love it! Here are the main reasons I love and recommend Square.

Toxic salons are, unfortunately, a reality that many of us have to deal with, especially when we first start off our careers. Eventually, most of us do end up leaving; but many of us stay too long to the detriment of our mental, emotion, and physical health.
