Hi my 📛 is a boy's any how got my license for barbering and hair dressing, I want to build a clientele , before renting a chair 💺 feel like cuz I was a Tom boy growing up , I should start with 💈 first willing to give free haircuts is that a bad 💡
Not sure how I missed this for so long, so sorry. One of my friends just said that she would tell people "I'll cut you and if you don't like it, you don't have to pay." That way, she got people that wouldn't normally sit in her chair to sit, and if they didn't like it, they wouldn't lose out. But if they said they didn't like it, they couldn't come back for another cut, that was the deal. So, that's a good way to start building clientele, too. Giving free cuts is only bad because when you start to charge, a lot of people will drop off... so you get experience, but you're not really making money. Also, people don't value free things. IMO, charge just $10. Maybe $5. And then raise your price as you start getting busy. Hope that helps.
See, that should be stated in your contract. But most both renters don't have a contract, which makes that a problem. If you don't have a contract, or if the owner doesn't specify, you may want to run it past the owner first because, without a contract the power CAN kick you out of (s)he doesn't want you selling product. In theory, you have every right to. But without a contract, you really have no proof that you have that right.
@@Just_Dee_Marie thanks yeah i got out that shop a week ago due to mom selling shop to son and my contract was me paying 200 every week and when son took over he wanted the remainer of the rent for that month and on the first the full 800 i was like wtf got home from the barber expo and went into the shop and just picked up all my stuff
Dip/stir it in a cup of water to unclog it between each pass, this razor is very handy for my beard and cleanups between haircuts, need to use it carefully though.
For me, the rounded razor was the biggest problem. It was super hard to feel when you were digging into the skin, as opposed to a traditional razor, there is tension when you hit skin and know not to push in any further to avoid a cut.
I attend Tricoci and I love the techniques they teach. Amazing school for cosmetology. Customer service is huge along with being able to do all types of hair.
Whoever the previous comment was is a hater!! I loved the video and the detailed captions! I need more videos! Awesome content from a Jr. in barber college 💈🙌🏾 thank you
Yeah these pens are 1000 percent trash lol. These give false hope to anyone trying to do designs so do yourself a favor and buy some Babyliss trimmers and learn how to use a straight razor.
How about them trying to dictate your schedule , use their brand and how long your in there..say the shop is open 9-7pm you go in and do 11-6:30 they get upset and want your there everyday from 9am-7pm..also no boundaries with messages sending you group messages even at 2 am. Then you say you got boundaries and you don’t respond to irrelevant messages on your off day - they get mad and say this is “family” what do you say to that?
@@andreaa2546 I make my own schedule I don’t let them bully me ,if I don’t want to take a walk in I won’t especially if they don’t want to pay my price my hours are my hours anything after is extra lol
This is a relationship. A two way relationship, regardless of if it's booth rent or commission... you know what... I'm going to reply in a video. That's a good question, and I want to give you a more thorough answer than I can right now.
I've been watching your videos for a while now, just letting one play into another. This one "Wanna Be Your Best?" really struck a chord in me and I just had to say how much I appreciated your wisdom and Love.
I find it funny that I can be in a shop full of barbers and they say the the best barber ever then someone walks in with more then 3 inches of hair and they point them to me. A tight lineup and a fade doesn't make you a good barber
Lawwwwadmercy! You're SO right! I think if you are limited to fades, as a barber, you're just one trend away from poverty. Bad place to be, if you ask me.
Is it pretentious to ask your semi-regular or even new customers if they'd like to book their next appointment as you as you are finishing up with them? Looking for new ideas to increase traffic-revenue. How are you increasing revenue?
Not at all. I actually try to look forward at what might be happening around the time of their next appt and bring it up. Like, "Easter's in 4 weeks, do you want to go ahead and book now to make sure you get your preferred time slot?" ... or whatever... Rebooking is commonplace in Salons, barbers are behind on that concept. I just increased revenue by offering packages... 5 haircuts for the price of 4. When you're cash strapped, it's a good way to get a quick influx of money and also provide value for your clients and ensure their business long term. Hope that helped.
Everybody must to do the difference between a good job and a good work . A good job is when only you are happy for your haircut and what you do , but a good work is when your clients , your team and your boss are happy too because of you , then you will have love , money and respect .
It is all about the experience you create and the relation you made with the client . For this you need to be very good for what your client ask , but not for everything and everywhere , you need to be specific for that tipe of service , salon or client . Offer the consistence , quality and respect for all .
Nice station , but i always run from that steamer , i prefer more classic worming towel as a classic feeling .)) Its just me , no offense . Marie you are so nice person and your good skills and motivational speaker will help us very much . Thank you for your advised , these are really important things for us . God bless you , take care .
@@Just_Dee_Marie Today i just paid for a steamer machine , after a long conversation with myself .))) Thank you , Dee ! )) From 1 october i will start my own barbershop , i hope all will be ok with this corona , I'm from Norway . If you can make some videos about our trade on pandemic times it will be greit , also some financial advised for barbers too.
the pen supposed to be straight if you lean it a little bit you will cut the client and it was your 1rst time using it..it takes a lot of practice to get good with the pen. even if you been doing the original Barber razor blade for years. so don't feel bad about your reputation like you mentioned on this video it was your first time...and try to keep the pan straight next time and less pressure
Hey, thanks for that info! Yeah, I felt like if it was flat flat, I was flooding over the hair and not cutting, but if I angled it, I cut her. Leaning curve was too sharp for me, I never bothered with it again. Just wasn't for me, I guess, and I think if it's hard to get to used to, it's prob not safe for clients, you know? Thanks for the feedback!
I love how simple you keep it yet you remain effective and keep your clients receiving great service! I like your belief about just using what you like. I know so many clipper junkies who need therapy! Great station, get ya bagggg!!!!
