You know the moment. The client that's booked in with you for a colour correction comes strolling through the door, nervous as hell, orange stripes galore and hands you a "goal" picture, of a beach bound Gigi Hadid with a beautiful mane of beige blonde hair. She's handed this picture to another stylist elsewhere and she left looking like a Sumatran Tiger. You're excited. The client is shitting herself. You head to get your apron, you can feel the nervousness vibrating in the salon. As you slip it over your head, you realise, you've got this. You turn around and your apron screams to your client, "Don't worry... I can fix it." Your client smiles, then giggles. You give her a thumbs up and she laughs. She seems relieved and in one instant, there is a connection between you both. You've snagged this client for life and you both know it. There are amazing hairdressers all over the place.
They're in massive salons, they rent chairs, they're in small boutique spaces in suburbia and they're in the back of beyond and many are super successful. They can do amazing hair, (of course) Some have request clients. Some sell retail. Some have great rebookings. Some have massively long waiting lists. Much like most of our industry... But the ones that really are "the next level", have the thing that sets them apart. That "thing" is that they are fun! People love to be around people who are FUN! Hairdressers are well known for our cockiness, our wit, our amazing good looks.... And our Sassiness! Do not confuse Sassy with Bitchy - Bitchiness come from a dark place of frustration and bitterness. Sass is just the right amount of wit and intelligence and a confidence that comes from being the fun one. Our facebook "page "Hairdressers of Australia" came from a place of fun. Poking fun at ourselves, at our industry and all the crazy, dumb, shit things that happen to us working in it. We wanted to embrace that with our limited edition aprons called The Frock! You need to get yourself one. Before your competition does... Shop now. Comments are closed.
