Rank #1: 7 Habits of Highly Successful Salon Owners.
Although there’s no single path to success and not everyone’s definition is the same, there are undoubtedly similar qualities that people who have achieved their ideals of success have in common. When looking at salon owners in particular, I’ve identified 7 habits that I’ve observed not only as a salon owner of 20+ years but also through one-on-one coaching and educating numerous salon owners through my Freedom and Profit program. With that retrospective experience and my current day-in-and-day-out conversations that I get to have with salon owners in my community, I’ve noticed that these habits are the major markers of whether a salon owner will reach their goals. In this episode you’ll learn:- Why you need to decide what’s important in your life and business to achieve true success- The importance of “tiger time” and why it’s crucial for you to have it blocked off on your calendar- How to leverage your team for more freedom, plus the steps you can take to encourage and empower your team to provide stellar service -What steps to take to be able to focus more of your efforts on income-generating activitiesClick here for your free guide: 5 steps to Freedom and Profit Guide Click here to read my original blog on Timely

Thriving Stylist Podcast

The beauty industry has changed dramatically in the last 10 years. The days of hoping your good reputation and referrals was enough to grow or maintain your clientele died out and successful stylists today need a real marketing strategy.It's actually never been easier to grow a clientele as a hair stylist or a business as a salon owner, yet stylists are giving up or struggling more often than they are thriving in this incredible industry. When I was first building my clientele, I realized immediately that nobody was teaching true business skills and long term strategies to stylists or salon owners. What good is a license and an entrepreneurial passion without the skills and knowledge to actually make big things happen?The Thriving Stylist podcast is a collection of interviews from super successful but not yet famous stylists, one-on-one coaching opportunities and actionable, strategic marketing techniques that you can use in your business today to see real results.I'm Britt Seva, Social Media & Marketing Strategist for Hair Stylists and I look forward to helping you to create a wealthy life as a stylist.

Rank #2: Get Over Yourself and Go Viral with Olivia Smalley - Episode 23.
This episode is an absolute treasure trove of knowledge from social media queen, Olivia Smalley. Olivia is well-known on Instagram for going viral multiple times for different hair color techniques and videos, and is an educator for Hair Love Retreat. From getting intentional about social media, to specific tips about how to get featured by brands, to creating engaging content in 2019, Olivia drops some knowledge about how to make your mark online. 2:22 - Get Happy, Get Snappy Olivia’s recent Snow Hair feature in Allure Magazine. Olivia’s water bottle curl video. 8:11 - Importance of Protecting Your Brand Olivia shares the story that led to her finally getting her name trademarked. As you are spending so much time and energy building your content online, it’s important to protect your brand. 12:15 - Let’s Talk Video Olivia says that people want to see words coming out of faces in 2019. People want to see your face in the content you are creating. First person perspective, such as Instagram stories, is extremely popular right now. People love watching content that is raw and authentic. This is great news if you’re trying to create more content, because it takes the pressure off when it comes to production quality. The Algorithm Video is important because algorithms place more importance on video content. Olivia talks about how the algorithm awards the videos that hold viewers attention for longer. Communication Social media is changing the way we communicate. When you can share your face and voice online, you are putting your brand out there in a way that can’t be emulated. Once you start sharing more video and communicate clearly and authentically with your audience, your viewers and followers are able to get to know you better. When you are comparing yourself to others…”we start to emulate somebody else, when we need to start emulating ourselves.” 19:01 Communicate, communicate, communicate! Elizabeth says that whether you are wanting to have success as a hairdresser or with your online presence, you will make more money and have higher retention if you learn how to communicate well. 21:43 There’s no such thing as an original idea Olivia agrees with the saying, “There is no such thing as an original thought.” So many people are going to have similar ideas to you and so much content has already been created that at this point it is virtually impossible to come up with something that is 100 percent original. Elizabeth and Olivia talk about how it’s ok to not have totally new ideas all the time as long as you are staying true to yourself and your brand. “Your smile is your logo, your personality is your business card, and how you leave others feeling after an experience is your trademark.” 27:13 Getting Featured: It’s About Relationships Olivia says that there is no point in asking for big pages to feature your work if you aren’t already engaging with that page and forming relationships with the people behind the account. Elizabeth attests to this idea that to go viral (in any part of your life), there is nothing more important than showing support of the people who can help you get to the next level. On the other hand, Olivia talks about how important it is to form connections with the people engaging with you on social media. 34:09 Your Voice Is SO Important Think about when you are texting the people in your life. So much meaning in the message is lost when it’s only text. “Text lacks tone.” Olivia talks about how podcasts, or video content bring an entirely deeper dimension to your brand and content when you can share so many more elements of communication. 36:00 Be Purposeful About Why You’re Online Olivia says figuring out why you’re using social media is so important. Figuring out exactly what you want and setting proper goals is going set you up for success. We spend so much time online, and that time is wasted unless you have nailed down what your “why” is and are intentional about it. “You’re either in it for the glory, or you’re really trying.” 47:21 “It’s Not Even About Me” So many of us are scared of putting ourselves out there because our hair or makeup isn’t on point that day, but Elizabeth talks about how it’s actually selfish to withhold our gifts because we are worried about what people think about us. Episode #16: Building A Badass Brand Episode #15: This Year I’m Opting Out 56:50 The Key Takeaways #1 Execute Don’t just sit and say you’re going to do something - actually do it. #2 Make sure you are posting more video YouTube and Google are very powerful tool. Figure it out. Take advantage of IG rewarding video content #3 Figure yourself out Start getting in touch with yourself. Nail down what your personal brand is.

Rank #2: Episode 18: The Hair Business Checklist.
Episode 18 Summary Episode 18 features Zakiyrah and Mikey going through the core elements of what they refer to as The Hair Business Checklist. This is part one of a two-part series that analyses what is needed to have a successful hair business. Get the hard-earned experience that Zakiyrah and Mikey have acquired to establish their hair extension company expressed in a convenient process. They tackle everything from your company name, logo, and website to finding a hair extension vendor and the importance of email lists. Show Notes ● Zakiyrah and Mikey introduce The Hair Business Checklist. ● CHECKLIST STEP 1: Why are you starting a hair business? ● Just because you are passionate about hair, realize there is much more involved in running an actual business. ● Starting a business requires stamina, not giving up, and it can take an emotional toll because things are going to go wrong. ● CHECKLIST STEP 2: Come up with a name for your hair business. ● Take the time to brainstorm multiple names that people would like, and take a poll of people you respect to pick what name they think is best. ● Keep the name short and simple. ● CHECKLIST STEP 3: Reserve the social media accounts. ● Keep your name consistent with social media accounts. ● CHECKLIST STEP 4: Get your domain name and an email address that match. ● CHECKLIST STEP 5: Now you need a logo – all text or an image. ● CHECKLIST STEP 6: How do you want to sell hair – wholesale or dropshipping? ● Wholesale is purchasing hair in bulk and you keep the inventory on hand. ● Drop shipping is when you pay as you go and the product is shipped to you to the customer. ● CHECKLIST STEP 7: Where will you sell your hair extensions – website, social media, or retail storefront? ● CHECKLIST STEP 8: Finding a vendor. ● You have to figure out what your delivered cost is: the total amount spent to order the hair, have it sent to you and payment fees. ● CHECKLIST STEP 9: Build your website. ● Using WordPress for your website offers advanced features and plugins. ● CHECKLIST STEP 10: Build your social media accounts and email lists – post at least once or twice a day. ● CHECKLIST STEP 11: Get your business structure established – LLC or sole proprietorship? ● CHECKLIST STEP 12: Marketing strategies: driving traffic to your website, most visitors probably won’t buy (especially in the beginning) 3 Key Points 1. Know exactly why you are starting your hair business because it won’t be easy to become successful. 2. Dropshipping allows you to focus on the hard parts of a business – sales and marketing. 3. Figure out what your total delivered cost is, factoring in the full amount spent to order the hair, have it sent to you and the associated payment fees. Tweetable Quotes – “When you get your tax return this year, let’s not go buy that new shiny TV. Or the new Chanel bag. Let’s invest in yourself.” – Mikey. – “You have to major in the minor before you can get to the major.” – Zakiyrah. – “You don’t want to send out business emails from @gmail.com. Make sure you are getting a business email, because it is very important to look professional.” – Mikey. – “Wholesaling is for people, I always recommend, that have…salons.” – Zakiyrah.
