You have big hair and you are dashing for an updo or "long hair" compensation and you try to a full service salon and what - they don't offer "long hair" service. Guess its not so full service after all. So you go to another beautician and they don't know what to do either. Why is that? Some of the reasons hairstylists don't offer "long hair" or updo service is because:
None of their clients have husky hair
Never informed how
Takes utterly oversize
Learned, rightful it, but got out of seasoning and forgot
Too cryptic
To the hairstylist, watching is easy. But when you are absolutely practice the work, it becomes confusing. It's rigid for a hairstylist to discharge and keep clients. If you are able to offer total hair services, including long hair, then you'll be keeping new clients instead of sending them away. One way to help you get over some of the points listed above is to practice on a wig or mannequin. When you are in-between appointments, this will offer you practice to gain confidence and allows you to display your work to your customers.
If you are appurtenant at husky hair, for you fancy to be the hairstylist that your competitors send their customers to. Advertise that you do long hair. There are plenty that don't do long hair and this approach may get you the client list you need.
Let the bridal shops distinguish you are available, along with the formal garb shops. Girls power to jag always want fancy hairstyles. Offer your services free to the bridal show as a promotion for your business. This helps you gain more updo customers and helps the bridal shop. Win-win.
You can again generate a photo album of the mannequins you have been practicing on, or on customers. This leave present prospective customers your ability and creativity level. Another idea is to work with a clothing store on their special event or sale days - and offer your services to attract customers. You can make these books up inexpensively with a digital camera and color copies. Have them bound with some of your business cards and ask if you can display them at the bridal shops.
Complimentary cards are terrifically good, too. You can quote a pooh-pooh on the grant of the card. When a client gets their hair done, then give them some cards to hand out when they are asked where they got such a cute hairstyle. This works especially well at high schools before proms and dances. As always, if they don't need long hair services, they will probably pass the card onto a friend.
How supremely should you barrage or expect to dough for long hair or updo services? Well, its different all over the country, but in general, the price should be at least $5 over the normal hairstyle whether it's a shampoo and blowdry. Be prudent in your pricing as if you get a client that will only require 15 minutes for a braid or a quick updo, then you may not want to charge more.
