Not anymore! In this article, we\u2019re sharing all the top tips to get and keep you on top with a devoted and loyal customer base you can rely on.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>As a freelance hairstylist, some of the hardest work you do has nothing to do with cutting hair. Renting a chair in a salon is merely one step toward building your business. If you\u2019ve been looking at it as a finish line, it\u2019s time to adjust your thinking.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Yes, you\u2019ve put in a ton of work getting to where you are and that\u2019s wonderful. Pat yourself on the back. For real. But, there\u2019s a lot more to working as a freelance hair stylist. You have to build your reputation, your client base, and develop your own professional brand. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Don\u2019t worry, though. Your reputation will come with the strength of your work and your professional brand can function as an extension of the salon you choose and your personal style at first. Building your clientele, though, takes more skill and a bit of finesse. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>We\u2019ve put together a list of the best things you can do to gain and<\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/www.salontoday.com\/article\/22233\/5-tips-on-retaining-clients\"> <span>retain clients<\/span><\/a><span> and make a name for yourself. Keep reading to learn how to build clientele as a hair stylist.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><strong>How to Build Clientele Within the Salon<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span>If you\u2019re currently renting a chair in a salon to try and build up your clientele, there are lots of things you can do \u2014 and some things you should avoid \u2014 to retain clients.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"429\" src=\"https:\/\/www.daysmart.com\/salon\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/09\/building-clientele2.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large\" alt=\"building clientele\" loading=\"lazy\" \/><\/p>\n<h3><b>Make Sure Clients Have a Positive Experience<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span>Probably the most important thing you can do to build client retention is to ensure that every person who sits in your chair has a good experience. In addition to giving them an amazing cut and\/or color, don\u2019t neglect the basics of <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.saloniris.com\/customer-service-tips-salons-spas\/\"><span>customer service<\/span><\/a><span>:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight:400\"><span>Be professional, friendly, and respectful.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight:400\"><span>Communicate clearly every step of the way \u2014 check in throughout the appointment. and let the client know what you\u2019re doing and why.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight:400\"><span>Greet clients and make them feel welcome.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight:400\"><span>Advise clients on promotions and products, but listen to what they want first and foremost.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight:400\"><span>Let clients know what to expect from the process and about the cost upfront.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight:400\"><span>Don\u2019t be shy when it comes to inviting them back for their next appointment.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span>It\u2019s also important to know what clients don\u2019t want out of a salon experience. Some big no-nos include:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight:400\"><span>Poor personal or booth hygiene <\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight:400\"><span>Gossiping with other stylists<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight:400\"><span>Not listening to the customer\u2019s wishes<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight:400\"><span>Inattentive stylist and\/or a long wait<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p> <\/p>\n<h3><b>Offer a Referral Rewards Program<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span>Once you\u2019ve won clients over with your professionalism and technical ability, you should also be sure to ask for a referral. Let the client know you\u2019re new to the salon and working on building clientele. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>You can increase clients\u2019 motivation to refer their friends and family by creating a referral rewards program. Give clients a discount for every referral, or offer a free service for a specific number of referrals.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Accept Walk-Ins<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span>If you\u2019re trying to figure out how to build a clientele but aren\u2019t accepting walk-ins, you\u2019re missing out on a huge opportunity to show off your skills. Accepting walk-ins is a surefire way to increase your overall client base. Set aside one day or a few hours each day to accept walk-ins.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Lots of people are busy and forget to schedule appointments. If you can meet their needs and make life a little easier for them, they\u2019ll be sure to come back again, especially if you provide them with excellent service.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Build Your Portfolio<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span>Show off your work! Take photos of clients and keep them in a clear book that can be displayed at your salon or can be displayed online via the web or social media. You can offer this book to people instead of a magazine to help them decide what kind of cut they\u2019d like or send them to social media to peruse your portfolio online. Just be sure to ask permission before you display pictures!<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"instagram-media\">\n<div>\n<p> <\/p>\n<div>\n\n<div>\n\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<div>\n<div>View this post on Instagram<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<div>\n<div>\n\n\n\n<\/div>\n<div>\n\n\n<\/div>\n<div>\n\n\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n\n\n<\/div>\n<p> <\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/CNh6doujlio\/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">A post shared by Salon Meraki (@salonmerakidtf)<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n<h3><b>Manage Your Schedule Well<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span>When you\u2019re a freelance stylist, it can be difficult to keep track of your appointments.

There are a lot of things you can do to spread the word about your work.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Advertise Online<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span>Take advantage of social networking and local business websites to <\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/fitsmallbusiness.com\/facebook-advertising\/\"><span>promote your skills online<\/span><\/a><span>.

The hairdressing industry is always changing, so you always need to be evolving if you want to keep up. Attend continuing education classes, seminars, and professional events and conferences to improve your techniques, network with peer stylists, and keep up with the latest trends.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>If you\u2019re always able to give people the most fashionable haircut, color treatment or top hair care tips, you\u2019ll have clients lining up for your services!<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Make It Easy For Clients To Schedule An Appointment<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span>Client management apps and software make it easy for you to manage your appointments, and they also make it easy for clients to schedule with you.

Make sure you\u2019re taking advantage of the information you\u2019re collecting to help you see where you can improve.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Some of the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.saloniris.com\/track-performance-statistics-strengthen-business\/\"><span>performance statistics<\/span><\/a><span> you should be paying attention to include:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight:400\"><span>New customers per month: How many new customers are you bringing in?<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight:400\"><span>Returning guests: How many people are coming back for a second appointment?<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight:400\"><span>Website visit frequency: How many people are you attracting through your online presence?<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight:400\"><span>Retail merchandise: Are you selling products in addition to providing services?<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight:400\"><span>Average ticket prices: How much are you making per client?<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight:400\"><span>Overall productivity: What portion of your day is actually dedicated to serving clients?<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span>If you are bringing in lots of new clients but they\u2019re not making second appointments, maybe you need to work on improving your customer service practices.
