Hey there sweetie.. CHIN UP SMILE!!!
I Agree with all of Drews responses.... My suggestion would be get in a company salon WHERE EVEN IF SLOW.. U got money coming to you.... In a private salon there is no guarantee.... Just my personal thoughts... But Definately all the numbers you have for your clients CALL THEM.... Then a while back I found out about a site through here our group... It's called
www.wheresmystylist.com IT IS FREE To put yourself on there... Start telling your clients... THIS IS WHERE AND HOW YOU CAN ALWAYS FIND ME... Check me out on there to get a idea of what you can use it for... It will help you when making your move...
Look up Leslie Marchant under the search stylist.... :)
ok 2nd... As long as you make up your mind when you get into a salon like a company salon and make up your mind.. YOUR STAYING PUT NO MATTER WHAT... You won't have to worry about loosing your clients... and YOU'LL BE ABLE TO GROW YOUR CLIENTELLE... AND GAIN SOME NEW ONES TOO!!!! That is where Drew was talking bout working in a mall or something work sundays with lots of walk ins!!! MOST COMPANY SALONS HAVE LOTS OF WALK-INS... Where you don't have to worry about if you have a clientelle or not... If you stay put in one for a long time then you can go back into a private salon situation!
If you live or have A HAIR CUTTERY near you ... It is the most beneficial company I found to work for.. You not only gain 45% comm with potenial to gain 50% comm but you make 5-15% off your retail ALWAYS!!!! So .. GO DO IT GIRL!
Anyhow... Hope all this helps some....
