HOW I GREW MY CLIENTELE AS A NEW HAIRSTYLIST USING SOCIAL MEDIA

- Sharing how I grew my clientele in my first year of being a hairstylist! I literally went from having maybe 5 clients to having a full book in less than a year by following these tips. Keep in mind, your client list won't grow overnight, and it also might not be steady growth. I would have some weeks where I'd be really busy, and the next week I'd only have one or two clients. But as the months went on, I did eventually get to a point where I became fully booked up. Trust the process, keep working hard, and people will come to you!

Thank you so much for sharing!!
Sam Vay great
True, as cosmetologist we all have our cycles/seasons... Which I definitely experience...
Thank you sooooooo much! I'm about to leave cosmetology school and need more insight to social media for marketing. That was VERY informative, I definitely need a separate page for my Braiding business.
Truth!
My story
giving stuff away, what I did was I ran a contest and for every 5 people that you tagged, that was another entry. You had to like and follow my page, and tag people in the post, and in the post I made a collage of ALL my favorite work I’ve done. And then I selected the most popular person who had the most influence on social media and she worked with people ALL day. So I did her hair for free and this post grew my social media by 300 people! And got me 10 color appointments before I ever even picked a winner!!. So I gave away a Shadow Root, and gained SO many people! I recently moved, so I’m doing this again in my new area. I would never do this regularly, but at the beginning of a new social media account it really helped me establish myself online
That's awesome and so smart! There's definitely a strategic way to go about giveaways, but you're not really just giving something away completely for free, because you did get something out of the exchange.
I felt like I was just on the phone talking with you getting advice lol. You’re delivery is so awesome! Subscribed!!!
Thank you! Glad you found the video helpful :)
I'm not even a stylist or plan to be but I still watched this whole video.
kendrasurprise I love this comment! 💜💜💜
“Target people in your area” YES
Watched your, "I quit my corporate job" video prior to watching this video. This video really shows the benefit of your communications degree.
Thanks for the help! I’ve been an assistant for a couple years and finally been 4 months on the floor as a commission based stylist. It’s been real rough but I will definitely keep trying to find the right kind of clients!
I am in beauty school now and I love these videos they keep me motivated, so please keep posting this kind of content! ☺️
Just amazing tutorial! ❤️ I'm from another side of the World (Kiev, Ukraine) and this is very useful video for me to start with my own nail salon. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ Thanks a lot!
Thank you for this quality content 👍 even 5 years later you’re still helping and obtaining subscribers (like myself today) from it. This is what I call doing something right, once-and-for-all.
I’m about to go to cosmetology school and you’re making me sooo excited! I love your channel! 💓
Literally couldn't have come across this video in a more perfect time. I'm really going through it and this video was just so helpful. So THANK YOU SO MUCH for sharing this info and being so genuine. I definitely subscribed and look forward to binge watch any other videos you have out lol. You're voice is just so aesthetically pleasing and comforting. I really appreciated this video. :)
Jasmine Haro agree 💯💯
You're literally my favorite beauty/cosmetology influencer. You're so raw and real and you have great advice and great stories. I had my beauty school orientation this morning and we did some ice breaker exercises, one of which was to write down who/what inspired us to attend cosmetology school. I wrote you down. :) Thank you for inspiring me and giving me the pushes I needed to finally decide to go to school.
I'm about to start cosmetology school and stumbled upon your video and just had to say thank you! This was super informative and helpful. I feel that much more excited and prepared!
Such great advice! Slow and steady wins the race. Be calm and put in consistent effort. Great video!
Thank you ssoooo much for this video because i've been struggling tryna figure out this whole social media thing
The discount one hit home for me. I'm a tattoo artist and twice a year I used to do giveaways to get new clients in who wanted my style of tattooing (Realism) instead of the usual fine line stuff clients usually want. Every single client I've gained through these giveaways was impossible to work with, cheap, delusional and entitled. Yes I got some nice pieces for my portfolio but almost all of these giveaway clients ended up on my black list as soon as I was done doing their tattoo because they made my life a living hell during the time I worked with/ on them. I'm sick of these discounts and giveaways and I'm never ever doing one ever again as I've learned my lesson. You're right. They never come in after consuming the discount, they just wait for the next giveaway to come. Thank you, amazing informative video!
You’re such a natural on this platform! Thanks CZcams for putting this in my recommendations!
This was a really great video. Your passion transcends the screen. I don't write reviews like this.
Thank you.
Great advice Sam! I'm going back to school for cosmetology and I'm excited to break into this industry from my last career that no longer served me. I used to be really intimidated with social media but your tips are giving me a lot of confidence about it! Keep up the amazing work!
Crazy to me that I just stumbled onto one of your videos randomly one night and come to find out you're located not too far from me, I'm in North NJ! Pretty cool. I checked out your Instagram, love your work.
I’m starting cosmetology school next fall and you have honestly helped me so much and made me feel so much more confident about going in and coming out of school! 💜
Your vids are literally the best! I love all of the tips. Just graduated beauty school a Little over a year ago, and finally ready to find the right salon! Your vids helped me gain confidence to put myself out there. Thank you ❤
Hello ☺️ I am a hairdresser from Norway and I love your videos and thought this video gave me a lot of great tips ❤️
I run my own salon at the age of 21 and love it, but this video really gave me inspiration to get better on social media 😁👌🏼
Love your personality and continue the good work ❤️
Thank you! Glad the video was helpful :)
Thank you for this video! I graduated from my esthetics program in June, and I’m licensed now and trying to work with lash extensions and tinting. I love it but I’ve had such a difficult time getting clients to come in, so I’m excited to use your tips and hopefully see my clients grow!
You absolutely will grow! Those are really popular services right now!
update
Posting bangers left and right love it keep it up !!!!
Hahaha thank you!!
hey girl ! i’m starting cosmetology girl next month , i’m excited
I recently graduated cosmetology school and am behind the chair 1-2 days a week and haven’t really had much luck getting new clients that aren’t friends(I don’t want to do my friends) I can’t wait to implement your advice and see how my clientele grows
Great stuff. I've been doing hair for over 25 years. I am rebranding and open to new ways to run my business and market. I stumbled across your vid. I knew most of your great ideas, but it was good to have it reinforced in a raw, down to earth way. I definitely can step my game up with social media. Thanks for sharing.
More videos like this please, babe!!! Loving the consistent videos 😍
As a stylist of over 10 years this is awesome content!! Keep it up!!
Thanks I appreciate this video I’m graduating hair school in two weeks and I definitely want my business page to expand more
i’m getting ready to go to cosmetology school and this really helped and made me excited for the summer. thank you!!
Ive been watching your videos for long already and im so happy for what you've accomplished! Keep going and congrats for the one year anniversary!❤️
btw if I ever travel to the east coast I need to visit your salon and get my hair done by you!
Aw thank you! :) Yes, I'd love to meet you and do your hair!
Booked and busy honey!
Thank you so so much! As a new stylist coming into this industry, this is a great educational video on how to grow your books using social media like IG! I’m also from a small town and is very competitive, but these tips WORK.
I know this isn't about social media. I'm loving your hair! Did you put up a video about how you did it? xx
Great advice! I’ve been a stylist for a while but took time off to be a stay at home mom, starting over in a new town has been hard. My page visits (Instagram shows this for business account) tripled overnight!
Good video good for you . Way to go . Welcome to the best profession in the world
Loving all of this advice! Subscribed 🖤
Catch me using these tips for my art business page haha ♥
I do hair and nails. I want to grow. And I’m thinking about going back into the salon
This was great! I love that you get right to the point. No fluff! I hate that!
I’m so glad I came across this!!! I’m a barber that just started off in a shop so this helped alot
I wish I lived closer to your salon so I could support you but I live 2 hours from Stroudsburg
Oh my freaking stars! You have such an incredible head on your shoulders. There are people in this world that you meet or come across where you just know they are destined to become a breakout star in their profession. In almost every case, you know because they know the secret to big-time success---there is no secret. It takes dedicated hard work, and you are showing us all just how thorough you are with your career. I have never done anything with my salons on just a whim, but if you showed up tomorrow at one of my salons, and you had the same presence that you do on your videos, I'd hire you on the spot and fast-track you into salon management. My two main managers are both Sassoon Academy trained and have done work on major stars. The only impediment in your way is your current location. I am sure that you can become a quarter million dollar stylist in the future, and if you decide to move to a hot zip code, like Austin, Las Vegas, Nashville, or Charlotte, you will end up living in your dream house with your dream car and your dream soul mate. I left a small Midwest town 28 years ago.
Wow! Thank you so much!! That means a lot! I would like to move in the future, once I have more experience under my belt (and savings - lol). This comment really made my day and inspired me, so again, thank you!!
@@styledbysamvay, I don't just give compliments to YT sites. You are uniquely special and so intelligent about your approach. If I were your age again, single, and aspiring to be a star in the business, I'd take a short trip to Nashville, where I have already lost three stylists to in the past year. All three are with upscale salons, and one has already picked up a major celebrity client. It is the reverse Grapes of Wrath. I should know about that city; I left there in 1991 to seek fame and fortune in WeHo. Now, I return to Nashville often, as I am here today to be with family for the holiday weekend. We have family that celebrate Easter and others that celebrate Passover. Every time I return here, I see what WeHo looked like 30 years ago. This is the town for young professionals to move to and become stars, just like LA & NYC were at one time. Let me also recommend Sunlights Balayage with Candy Shaw. It's the hottest thing I have seen in the past 10 years, and Candy is a great person. With your outgoing personality and ability to talk like a national TV correspondent, you could easily become a trainer and supplement your income teaching others. Good luck and Happy Easter or Passover depending on which holiday you celebrate.
Wow! I loved this video a lot! It wasn't just another generic "lemme tell you what to do to get #k followers or $k", but instead preached the truth with helpful tips. I do nails right now and am in a rut because I just moved to a new city and am trying to start doing nails on my own (not out of a salon) during covid and it's been hard finding clients :'( I started making CZcams videos to try getting that creative energy out though lol. I listened to everything you said and I can't wait to apply this to what I want to do. Thank you so much
All I heard was cosmetology and subscribed!! Just started watching this video and I’m excited to see if it helps!!!
I want to be a esthetician and I feel like these rules will still apply but do you have anything else you would suggest?
Wow ! This is video is fantastic. Thank you for such great information. Love it 💚
Dang girl thanks for all the advice, it was so helpful!!!🙌🏼
Very informative for me. I use instagram and didn’t know location is a plus. Thank you❤
Fingers crossed I start school this month on the 31st and I really hope I will excel. Thank you for the advice even though I’m barley starting school.
Mischel Perez I start on the 3rd of April and I’m exciteeeddd.
That’s my hometown❤️ Keep up the good work sis!
I’m a new subscriber and yes I love Jamie as well!!!!!!! You both are great !!
This video was perfect!
Thank god I found your channel and thank you so much for the helpful tips 💕
Great tips for a stylist any stylist who needs to get into building an on-line portfolio!
liked and subscribed! this helped alot, thanks for sharing!
You helped me SO MUCH! Thank you 💜
I feel you with stealing posts! I just started selling products and this one girl straight steals everyone’s posts! I work very hard on my captions. Well the other day she straight stole a picture I took of MY HAND HOLDING THE PRODUCT! No credit 😠 I resent a picture with my name in the middle of the pic for my watermark so I’ll get credit! It’s so rude when others steal- sure I don’t mind helping others but you shouldn’t be using others to make money for yourself because you’re lazy. She admits to stealing posts. I change my wording so it sounds like me at least! Thanks for sharing these tips!
liking the video before even watching yaaas guuurl 💓
So helpful thanks girl!
New subbie!!!😝

thanks sam v!!! so helpful
That is so fucking true that clients that come religiously see new clients get discounts and get offended especially if they're older
Thank you sooo much for your help 🙏
God bless your knowledge.
You're so inspiring 🙏🙏🥰
Best informative video I've seen yet. Good video. Made me update my IG. Thanks!
Great info! Thank you❤
Wow this is better advice than some people i've paid money to lol.
If you ship and sell products its good to have followers from all over the country
I am in law school but this is so interesing ❣️ where did you get your watch from? 👌
It's the "Lexington" style by Mvmt
Omggg Jamie Dana is absolutely amazing. Shes helped me so much with my Instagram!! Thanks for this video it helped so much ❤️
I’ve been trying to add my address but for some reason everytime I try to add the city/state it either shows nothing or “no results found”. Not sure why but I always had my salons name in the bio. Oooo I miss having the crossings so close😭 lols. I should go next time I visit my mom. The 1 a day post is where I struggle. Taking pictures in the spa can be difficult so I’m always editing to lighting in all the photos
Thank you Sam. Great advise!
Great instruction in this video you are so young too!
Thank you
This was great
Wow!! Excellent video 👌👍
You could totally be a cosmetology instructor!!
Love this!
Wow great video! I’m in school!
Great info! What is the name of the scheduling app linked to ur IG? Is that a feature in the business account or a 3rd party app install?
Great advice 👏
This was very helpful. TY!
I'm from Scranton Pa I start school august 26 💕💕
I just came across your channel recently and I am in love!!
I have my license but never worked in a salon just because I'm TERRIFIED. Im GOOD at hair but im a little bit more on the introverted side. Im a listener, not really a huge talker and im so scared about that effecting me gaining clientele. 😭
Conquer your scared and become unstoppable
Once you start dealing with client, your scars will be gone
Margaretta Cruz, You are listener and have skills which enough to fight.
Thanks for the great advice!
Hey Sam, thanks for the video. I have a question...if the only people that see your IG posts are your followers, how do you attract new clients from that if potential clients aren’t following you?
Very helpful video!👌
Glad you found it helpful!
so now i know why when i look up a restaurant tagged location there is random pictures of hair...it's kinda annoying lol
How do you gain clients from home , before transforming to a booth rental.
I’m in beauty school and struggling to get people to message me for appointments. It seems like no one will help when I ask for help and it makes me feel like I wasn’t cut out for this industry
