As a Licensed cosmetologist of 35 years, that has moved several times across the nation and even owned salons a few times, I know the hard path of building a clientele and RE-building a clientele. It takes years as a minimum doing it the old fashioned way of waiting for the phone to ring.... putting out ads in newspapers.... posting hair pics on IG with hundreds of others doing the same thing. This way take a lot of hard work and a loooong friggin time to build. Narrowing it down, make sure when you're starting out, you got hired at a place that gives you Hourly PLUS commission! That way you have a paycheck while you build. And don't forget to reach your goal on selling retail. If you are in the Knoxville Tn area, Ross the Boss Salons is a great place not only to start but to grown and retire. They have 401K options as well as paid vacations which is unheard of in this industry. Get linked up with SHM subscriptions and nail every cut and be 'In the know' on how to post exactly, to build fast!

I have spent so many years trying to perfect a polished cut. I spent thousands upon thousands of dollars on TOP of my schooling, which basically only gets us our license and the basics of a 45, 90, 180 degree cuts... if that! And throws us into the water with the scissor sharks! I have been planning and thinking and figuring for the past 10 years how to help the new graduated cosmetologists to make it in this world. To ace every cut, how to have amazing holistic recipes for hair and skin, and how to promote yourself. I will be posting some things on here that I want YOU to try! Maybe on yourself and maybe on your family or the few clients you have got already. I'm your biggest cheerleader and I am going to show you step by step how to make sure you have someone in your court. I was blessed enough to have a wonderful Mom who owned Day Spas in California and was an incredible Hair Designer before that and showed me how to do hair cuts in 3rd grade haha. If you want to go deeper in learning gorgeous cuts and styles, I have a subscription option and will be doing step by step teaching videos and having challenges for you and competitions with actual prizes! Only in the subscription area do you get that option and extended courses. I am personal friends with TOP Hair designers world wide and they have agreed to do some online and in person events! I am STOKED! Have the most blessed day yet! This is your sign.... grab it and run with it. Ready for a solid and confident tomorrow? Lets do this! Hugs and excitement... Starlie!❤️
