Key Takeaways:

-- Volunteer at hair schools. Help students learn more about the industry & craft, not passing the state board exam.

-- Do a demo. Don't forget to talk about their career, helping them manage expectations and set goals that will enable success.

-- Students think they will build their book very fast on their own via social media and their current network...not realistic.

-- Unrealistic goals fail because they do not work with a mentor nor understand the business side of building a clientele.

-- Most hair school students have ZERO salon experience in communication, soft skills, pre-booking, etc...the schools do their best, but there's NO REPLACEMENT FOR SALON EXPERIENCE!

-- I hire stylists, train them, build them as W2 employees, and when they are ready to run their own business, I transition to booth rental. One side of my shop is W2 commission, and the other is booth rental!
