Key Takeaways

• 12-year industry veteran
• Tyler went to both Barbering and Cosmetology School
• If you want to work with brands, find out what they want. Talk to your rep, look up on their website, follow your favorite brands, tag them, and submit to any ambassador program, educator opportunities, and/or competitions! The more consistent you are, the better your chances of getting picked up!
• Hone your craft and build relationships by going to as many classes and hair shows as you can.
• If you pursue a career in education and events, be prepared for your salon/suite/shop clients to find their way into someone else chair due to your unavailability.
• Participating in a photo contest costs money, and the more photos per contest required the more money. Start with the One Shot or another award in which you only have to submit one picture. Then, you have to budget for things like wigs, photographers, lunch for everyone, wardrobe, makeup, etc.
• Tinker with your career by offering to teach a free class at a local hair school or for local stylists.
• If you pursue multiple revenue streams, that pursuit could hinder your ability to build or maintain a healthy and robust clientele, beware.
