Are you a hairstylist rebuilding your clientele from scratch or just starting out with an empty chair and big dreams? In this raw and honest episode of The Rooted Chair, I’m sharing exactly how I'm rebuilding my salon business from the ground up with no client list, no social media following, and no fluff.
After paying for rebuild guides from top industry stylists that left me feeling more lost than inspired, I created my own step-by-step strategy and I’m giving it all to you.
You’ll learn:
- How to grow a consistent clientele from scratch
- What actually works (and what doesn’t) when building your salon business
- Real-time marketing tips for hairstylists using Instagram
- Ways to attract and retain dream clients without ads or discounts
- How to stay mentally strong through slow seasons
- Branding tips for salon owners, booth renters, and stylists building solo
Whether you're fresh out of beauty school, moving to a new area, or rebuilding after burnout—this is the honest roadmap I wish I had.
🎧 Stay tuned for Part 2: How to KEEP your dream clients once they’re in your chair.
