Lets talk about this
If your straight out of beauty school
Or just moved to a new salon and have no clientele this can be as depressing as walking the Appalachian Trail in the middle of the winter!!!
In New York City most salons have enough walk in on a daily bases you don't really need a clientele.
In suburbia America, where most people live a more routine, structured life
Building a clientele is hopeful
But.....
It can take up to 4-6 months
Or a good year before you start seeing requests
Your average new stylist to a shop
Making very little money at first
This can be discouraging and depressing
Yes, I know
Most Americans want to make a ton of money on the job
But our lives as a hairstylist isn't a salary position
We are starving artists at first
That unstable income life can cause
A lot of heartaches
Oh Hell, it's always an unstable life
But it's our passion
And I'd rather stand behind my chair making $25,000 than walk in your miserable shoes and do what your doing!
The highs and lows of the life of an Artist
