I just opened my own salon straight from school, 0 clientes. I put so much effort into it and studied specializations and target my business as specialized in, i went to an amazing area, expensive part of the city, did inauguration and nobody come 😂. 10 days later nobody was entering my place not even to ask questions, the company i paid for marketing didnt do anything but my web page, so i passed 2 days learning how to work canvas, capcut, filming videos and stories and working with facebook and instagram ads. Im on day 14 and i got 5 bookings yeahhh, yesterday and today neighbors finally started to come and ask for my flyers, prices etc, wish me luck i know im on the right path
Most people would have quit after those first 10 days!!! You are amazing and this is exactly how it went for me! Once that momentum started, it never stopped!! Proud of you!!!
@@LaurenFrancesHair thank you 😍 you are so lovely, the first customer booking was such a good feeling! I honestly felt sad those days but i kept thinking i had a good thing going on that i needed to work and have patience. I love your videos, bless you
Here's a tip, Girls! A majority of students went to fancy salons for their internship/externship, but I went to a barbershop for mine because it was my biggest weakness while in school. I went straight from school to my own suite.
I moved into a salon suite , and getting your existing clientele acclimated to how you run things is no joke, especially when you learn that they brought bad habits from the old salon that you are now having to put boundaries in place .
Lauren u have changed my life I got fired at 27 from a commission salon after 10 years in the industry At 28 I got my own suite 0 clients and am on average doing 1500 a week and a large portion is your videos I had 5 clients and am thinking of moving to SA TX I'm 30 now hehe
This video is so helpful! After renting a chair for 8 months and now moving out of state wanting to rent a salon suit, I was freaking out. This video was so comforting. ❤️
I had to start business from home because all of the salons have been tricky and covid as well. Your videos helped me a lot. I even increased my prices to the same as in the salon I used to have. It's already one year on my own. I had to change a lot of things in myself. I think even if someone is very good, you will work 2-3 times more than in salon. A lot of things to do to make your company grow. The company you create is like your child.
This is a fantastic video, thanks so much for making it. I’m a nail tech doing mobile services so it’s unlikely that I’ll have a lot of clients wanting to come into the a new studio. I had come up with this plan but was told nobody does it that way, but in any other field if you start a business this is kind of how it goes… have a savings to manage the first few months and build from there. Hearing it from someone else is always helpful. :)
Las Vegas is very different when you work in a high luxury salon on the strip everything is provided for you so when you go on your own it's like move to a different state in a city
This is really good. Do you offer one on one coaching for new stylists to help them execute these tips? I'm a new stylist, and if the price was right, I would definitely pay for help with going from no clientele to a good client roster.
Hey there! No I don’t do private coaching. I have some online courses and those are the people I provide ongoing support for. Check the links in the description if you are interested!
Just found your videos. I just got my license, have applied left and right to salons for a little over 2 months. I agree that it is better to be experienced before going solo. I'm feeling lost. No one wants to hire me without a year of experience. How do you get that experience without someone giving you a chance. What to do?
I would try to get hired as an assistant or front desk receptionist first. This will get you good experience learning how the salon works, and time to show you will be a great asset to the team before they commit to giving you clients.
Anyone else watch all these videos and still struggle with the advertising and using Instagram aspect? I use most of the hashtags I'm told, I engage, I make content and have models but still struggle 🤣 I have a decent clientle and just moved to a suite but hell, getting new clients is no joke. I'm struggling.
You would go to google maps and add your business. What happens is they send you a code in the mail to verify the address and business you give them. It takes about a week!
Thank you I needed to hear this because I started a week now with no clientele bc it's in a different city from where I live. I have clients where I live but they don't want to drive 45 mins to my new suite. Any pointers ..thanks
I’m about to go on this suite journey I have clientele but I’m going to a different area/city and want to start from scratch and I’m super scared, what payment processing would you suggest I’m trying to figure out what way to go 😱
What would you advice to someone who really wants to open a salon, with a good vision, management experience but never worked as stylist or beautician.massage therapist but not something I want to focus on. Just want to hire good professional.

Thank you for making this. I left this comment for you on one of your videos. You're the best!

@@LaurenFrancesHair thank you so much for all you do! Will be looking into your resources:)
Im interested in your Toning bible. Are they all Shades EQ formulas?

It’s such a tedious process in the beginning but once you start getting a little momentum it blows up from there!
Word of mouth is king
Go the traditional route, radio, billboard, newspaper, cold mail, commercials, personally speak to people.

This was incredibly helpful!! Thank you!
What camera do you use it’s very clear !
Great info! One question….how do you make sure you’re on Google?
You would go to google maps and add your business. What happens is they send you a code in the mail to verify the address and business you give them. It takes about a week!
Thank you!
Great video, thank you.
Thank you so much for making these videos.
You are so welcome thank you for watching❤️
Thank you very much for the information
Great video Lauren !!!
This was excellent......

I wish you are doing great with your business, do you have any updates on it?
Thank you
Hi Lauren! Your checklist guide isn’t working. I got the email but there’s no link
I’m about to go on this suite journey I have clientele but I’m going to a different area/city and want to start from scratch and I’m super scared, what payment processing would you suggest I’m trying to figure out what way to go 😱
this is for me..I move to a new state I have no clientele
Is booksy any good for a salon suite renter? I just moved to another city about 4 months ago and i feel like im ready.
Yes booksy helped my business 100%

What would you advice to someone who really wants to open a salon, with a good vision, management experience but never worked as stylist or beautician.massage therapist but not something I want to focus on. Just want to hire good professional.
I would advice you to study that business model, you either love the area you are or you know it well.
No. Just No.
I noticed you have your Salon in your home. What kind of license do you have?
That would be me, completely out of my comfort zone. 😬
