This week Danielle welcomes DKW® Styling Academy student Sal Ramirez as her cohost!   This week they tackle the topic of stereotypes within the industry and how to break the mold of what it means to be JUST a hairstylist. Coming into the hair world, did you come in with expectations?    The stigma around “hair” is.. You'll never make money. You'll never be successful. You are giving up.    You’re “just” a hairstylist.    Here’s the thing. You are either IN it or not. Are you willing to put in the work? There is no right or wrong way to get to the next level. The only thing you really have to do is COMMIT.    Just because you got another certification doesn't mean you’re going to be successful behind the chair. If you are not tracking your numbers and your progress, then are you really being successful?    There is so much more to being a hairstylist. You need to be marketing, you need systems & processes, you need to keep track of your numbers, and you need contracts.    There is also SO much growth that you will find once you start actually taking charge of your life. When you find the power within yourself to put in the effort and really get to know all the ins & outs of your business, then you will start to really see the growth in YOURSELF and also your business.    So what are you going to start doing? What are you going to stop doing?    In order to really GROW, you need to evaluate the things in your life,and the things in your business and really focus on what is and is NOT working.    THEN - make adjustments.   If you're ready to make those adjustments but don't know where to start, then its time you join us in education.   Email support@nbr.education to learn which NBR® Education Opportunity is right for you!   Your success is our biggest goal, so let us show you how to get there through our proven path.
