Unlocking the Secret to Earning $6000 Monthly as a Hairstylist
Written on
Chapter 1: The Path to Financial Freedom
Are you dreaming of becoming a hairstylist? Have you noticed some hair professionals online charging as much as $900 for a single hairstyle? Does that seem exorbitant, or do you believe the effort justifies the price? You may also be curious about how salon owners can ensure a stable income, given that hair services are a personal choice.
Surprisingly, many hairstylists are not only making a living but also flourishing in their careers. Some can guarantee an impressive income of at least $6000 per month without breaking a sweat. This principle can easily translate into your writing business. Successful entrepreneurs often invest in resources upfront with the anticipation of future gains.
Fortunately, the strategies used by successful hairstylists can be adapted to your writing endeavors, potentially allowing you to earn $6000 monthly for your services. Are you prepared to explore these strategies? Let’s get started.
Section 1.1: Embracing Independence
In many professions, employers often look for ways to minimize pay. However, when you work for yourself, you can determine your worth. This was the case for Alex Pardoe, who, while employed at a well-known salon chain, earned around $30,000 annually. This experience spurred him to expand his clientele through social media, even providing free services to popular online personalities. This approach paid off, and he now boasts an annual income exceeding $280,000 while owning his salon, Aesthetic Hair Co. You can follow a similar path—either by becoming self-employed or forming partnerships where profits are shared equally.
Subsection 1.1.1: Identifying Opportunities
Many people believe hairstylists earn money primarily through owning a salon, styling high-profile clients, or teaching the craft to others. However, there’s a fourth avenue—writing. Surprising, isn’t it?
Many former hairstylists transition into writing. For instance, Jennifer Kenny, a former hairstylist, now runs Salon Suite University, offering written templates and guidance. Her e-books address common questions hairstylists have, and her website features policy templates, pricing guides, and sales scripts.
Others have opted to design and create Canva templates. Why is this successful? Ex-hairstylists are familiar with industry terminology and are unafraid to focus on a specific target market.
Section 1.2: Innovative Business Models
It's common for skilled individuals leaving corporate jobs to aspire to start their own ventures. But why not consider laying the groundwork for a franchise instead?
A notable example is BraidBabes, a mobile braiding service that has scaled its operations through franchising, earning up to $2.2 million annually. This business caters to clients seeking braiding services and was launched with a $15,000 investment from the owner’s 401K. The company has expanded by utilizing subcontractors in various locations.
Subcontractors earn an hourly wage while serving clients who book appointments through a dedicated app—similar to platforms like Fiverr or Upwork. However, subcontractors can also find their own clients, bringing them to the app for potentially higher earnings. The company promotes itself by hosting free braid bar events at pop-up locations. Thus, the owner transitioned from trading time for money to managing a team. You can also explore business growth through delegating tasks.
