Professional Hair Stylist: 
One Path to Big Money  

You are a professional hair stylist.  That means you are a licensed professional:

  • hairdresser
  • waxer
  • colorist
  • braider
  • manicurist
  • esthetician
  • hair cutter

Even though you may not be very good at most of it you are still a licensed professional cosmetologist.

When you are in cosmetology school you are trying to figure out where you will be working.  The first thing you do when you get your license is look for a salon.

Most find a salon, get a job and if they don't like it go find another one.  Before you know it you have become a salon hopper.  Then 20 years down the road you are still hopping! AND making about the same amount of money.  Not great money.

Take Control of the Direction of your Career

At any time though you can take control of your career as a professional hair stylist.  If you are at that point, check out this path to making big money.

It's specializing in one particular service!

Check this out!  As a professional hair stylist in the salon you are doing a multitude of services.  On any typical day you are doing color, cut, styling, shampooing, straightening, curling, waxing, etc.  And this may be exactly what you want to do, which is fine.

BUT WHAT IF.....you loved doing hair extensions more than anything.  For some reason seeing the result of a full head of extensions just does it for you!  You get a lot of satisfaction in your result.  That is your passion. But in between these clients you are doing all the rest of the services too.  And let's say that the extensions are a $500 service and haircuts are a $50 service.  You would need to do 10 haircuts to equal the price of one extension service.  And STILL extensions is your favorite thing to do!

My question to you would be:  Why aren't you only doing extensions?!

Maybe you never thought about it.  Maybe you didn't think it is possible. How would you even go about it?
