How to Serve Hair Loss Clients Without Becoming a Specialist
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
You have clients who need hair loss solutions or volume enhancements. You want to help them. But you don't have the time, energy, or desire to master an entirely new specialty.
Enter Emilie Carpenter.
Emilie is a stylist who built a private studio in a converted office space during COVID. Along the way, she accidentally became an expert in custom-colored human hair toppers and then turned that expertise into a done-for-you business model called Stay Hair Solutions.
✨ In this episode, Emilie shares:
- Why coloring a topper is nothing like coloring biological hair (and the expensive mistake she made learning that)
- The 4 surprising use cases for hair toppers beyond just hair loss
- How she hit her annual sales goal by May, selling directly to other stylists
- And most importantly: how you can serve your own hair loss clients without doing any of the specialized work yourself
Plus, Lisa shares about her client, the $900 topper from a "trusted brand" that looked like a bright yellow hat, and how Emilie saved the day with a flawless custom piece.
💡Key Takeaways
- You don't need to become a specialist. Emilie does all the sourcing, custom coloring, and fulfillment. You simply connect her with your client, choose your markup, and look like the hero.
- Hair toppers aren't just for hair loss. Use them for growing out gray, protecting fragile hair from bleach damage, trying bangs without commitment, or adding volume that bio hair can't achieve.
- Color matching is completely different. A client's exact bio-hair formula will NOT work on a topper. Emilie speaks stylist language but uses a completely different color theory to get a perfect match.
- The client experience is stress-free.
- Proof is in the results. Emilie joined the Soul Tribe Marketplace in January and hit her entire annual sales goal by early May.
