Your Results (and Your Game Plan!)
Mostly As: The Walk-In Wonder 🌊
Your work speaks for itself and the studio has a rep, but the business runs on instinct and whatever walks through the door. That’s quietly costing you.
✨ Level up:
• Build a waitlist and set up text marketing to fill last-minute gaps without relying on social media
• Move client communication to two-way texting inside your software to protect your personal number
• Add non-refundable deposits to custom work so your design time is always covered.
Mostly Bs: The Fully-Booked Boss 🧠
Your books are full, your clients are loyal, and your studio doesn’t run on luck. You’ve built something that works; now let’s make it work harder.
✨ Level up:
• Check your text plan. If you’re filling chairs this consistently, overages could be sneaking up on you
• Make sure your website is converting the late-night searches your reputation deserves
• Keep that review pipeline running. Your online presence is your most powerful new client referral.
Mostly Cs: The Underground Artist 🖤
Your craft is undeniable and clients seek you out for a reason. But flying under the radar has a cost and the right clients aren’t always finding you.
✨ Level up:
• Automate one thing this week: a review request, an appointment reminder, or a touch-up win-back text
• Add deposits for custom and full-day sessions (one no-show on a 6-hour piece is a full day of lost income)
• Get a real website with online booking so midnight searches actually convert to appointments.
