Did you know only 7% of stylists will spend their entire career at the same salon?

To me, it makes sense, this is a fast-paced industry and opportunities are everywhere. We're all looking for ways to transform ourselves as creatives, but there's one thing you can do that will change everything.

It’s free, you can do it anywhere and you can start anytime.

Find your people. When you find the people that will encourage you, lift you up and believe in you no matter what - your life as a stylist is going to change in ways you can’t imagine.

This week we're taking a deep dive into one of the most crucial decisions that will shape a hairstylist, hairdresser, or barber's career: choosing the right beauty school. Whether you're just starting out or considering a career switch, this episode is your ultimate guide. We'll talk about how I found my beauty school and cover the essential elements to look for in an institution, from quality instructors to a robust curriculum.

We'll look at every angle, including the often-overlooked topic of financial considerations. What scholarships and aid options are typically available? Is there a return on investment when choosing a more prestigious school? We also discuss red flags to watch out for during your school tours and how to align the school's programs with your career goals. I'll even delve into whether you should specialize or opt for a more general education.

The Aspiring Stylist with Tracey Franklin - Stylists: How to Cope with Burnout and Stress

Stylists: How to Cope with Burnout and Stress

The Aspiring Stylist with Tracey Franklin

play

08/14/23 • 20 min

In the beauty industry, we love to throw around the term work-life balance without really giving any direction on how to achieve it. For me, one of the biggest ways to cope with burnout and stress as a stylist is to have a solid schedule and stick to it!

When that client who always forgets to prebook calls and begs you to let her come in, stick to your schedule. When the client who just wants one more service and it’s going to run you an hour late, stick to your schedule. When you get a walk-in 30 minutes before closing, stick to your schedule. You can’t pour from an empty cup, so set boundaries and stick to them.

This week is all about identifying the patterns in our lives as barbers and hairdressers that cause burnout and how to reclaim our time and worth as professionals.

The Aspiring Stylist with Tracey Franklin - Risk, Reward, and Regret

Risk, Reward, and Regret

You can’t stay where you are and move on at the same time.

I know as a stylist this can be scary, especially when you have money and the future of your career on the line. The average course or certification will cost anywhere from $1,600 to $2,000. That’s a lot of money to spend on something if you don’t know how it will impact your bookings.

But I promise you, after 20 years in the beauty industry, there isn’t one certification I regret getting. There isn’t a conference where I wish I’d stayed home. These are the experiences that will change you as a stylist and a person.

This week we're going back to class and talking about all the ways you can be salon-ready at graduation from barber or cosmetology school. I think there's a huge misconception that when you graduate and pass the state boards you'll be magically ready to take on the beauty industry.

I've had new stylists start working at my salon that literally have never used a pair of clippers. I’m not blaming students! That’s why I started a barber and beauty academy, but just because you passed the board doesn’t mean you’re salon-ready.

The Aspiring Stylist with Tracey Franklin - Is the Front Desk Dead?

Is the Front Desk Dead?

I think there are some really big misconceptions on what the front desk at a salon actually does and in the past couple of years, I’ve heard a lot of talk from stylists and salon owners that the front desk is dead. This isn’t about checking guests in and out and scheduling appointments, a proper salon coordinator is knowledgeable about products, services and is actively working to be the liaison between stylists and guests.

You never have a second chance to make a first impression, and for any salon that’s letting an iPad make their first impression, I think you should reconsider.
