In this episode, I'm spilling the bleach on everything you didn't know about hair bleaching. Whether you're a seasoned stylist or a newbie I've got the lowdown on the science, the secrets, and the safety tips to ensure your bleaching game is on point.
I start by breaking down the nitty-gritty of how hair bleach actually works—spoiler alert: it's all about oxidation! I also dive into the different types of bleach and developers, and why choosing the right one is crucial for your hair's health and your desired results. Plus, I tackle some common myths and mistakes that can turn a bleaching session into a hair-raising disaster.
But that's not all! I chat about the importance of timing, the role of heat in the bleaching process, and how to keep your scalp safe. So grab your favorite hair mask, tune in, and let's get to the root of all things hair bleach. You won't want to miss this candid and informative episode!
I'm breaking down the cost of hair extensions. Everything from the hair itself, all the way down to the service. So that way it can help bring some clarity on what you should be charging as a hairstylist working behind the chair.
So if you're new to hair extensions, or maybe just started dabbling in hair extensions, and you're still a little confused about exactly what you should be charging, you're going to love this episode!
I thought this episode was a great one to start 2022 off because so many of us are setting goals for the new year and I want to help you level up! Now I know what some of you may be thinking, Mirella, I don't really have a lot of money to invest with. And the truth is you don't need a lot to get started!
Everything that I'm going to share with you today are really easy tips and some of them you can even get started with just as little as $1 to $5 dollars. I want you to throw away the myth that you need hundreds and thousands of dollars to invest with.
Remember: Assets represent a net gain in value, while liabilities represent a net loss in value.
Listen in if you are new to investing or you are not sure where to start.
What is the F word that everybody hates but it’s something everybody needs in order to know when you're winning? Its Failure. Let’s talk about it…
The reality is, nobody wants to fail, especially when it comes to your beauty biz. That’s because failing can result in losing money, and lots of it. Many of us take a high risk in getting our business off the ground, and I want to help you recognize the failures in business and recognize how it can actually make your business stronger.
So in this episode of HairB&B, I’m going to break down the 3 things failure can teach us about our business and about ourselves.
Listen in as I break down the cost of doing business and overall things they don’t teach you in beauty school, which is the business side of things. By the end of this episode, you will learn that hairstylists do not keep 100% of the service price. As a matter of fact, the amount of profit you may be taking home may surprise you, at least after I did my research, I was surprised at how little most of us take home!
If you are in the "charge your worth club", then you are really going to love this episode! You have probably heard from your peers that you are overpriced, overcharging, price gouging… whatever you have been told, I like to tell those people that they are not my target market and I don’t fit in their budget. There is simply no reason for you to lower your prices to fit anyone's budget. If your haircuts are $100 or $50 or even $10, then that’s your price! You do not need to justify it for anyone at all!
If you are a hairstylist who wonders why in the hell do some hairstylists charge so much?, Then you're going to start rethinking how you charge with what I’m going to share with you, because I’m going to break down a whole lotta ish!
This one is for all my beauty school babes and guys and this episode is inspired by an email I received a while back by one of my subscribers, Abigail, who is in school but wanted to know how to grow your clientele while you are still in beauty school.
