KEY TAKEAWAYS:

• Ivis learned his work ethic from his father, and that enabled him to build his career.
• By focusing on work that other people in the salon did not want to do, Ivis got clients quickly, & those clients sent him their relatives & friends!
• RISING STYLISTS: Change your mindset from thinking about assisting at a salon to honing in on the foundations. Learn to do good shampoos and connect with the customer so they know and trust you. They may end up in your chair & give you incredible tips!
• Only a small amount of people will be able to build a clientele right out of school. Go to a salon, get further training, and build a book there.
• Becoming a stage educator before social media required being in the "in-crowd." Now, you have to build a social media following & produce good content
• SALON OWNERS: a lot of stylists leave salons because they feel like they stopped growing, not necessarily b/c of money
• If it's all about money & not learning or growing in other ways, the stylists will keep needing more & more until you cannot provide. Then, they'll leave for the money.
