If I tell u my prices increased & u ask or feel compelled to ask me “what comes with that?”, immediately spend time seeking services elsewhere because I ASSURE u that I will be removing ur energy from my emotional space.

A good rule of thumb when ur paying for elective services is that service providers (like me) are NOT actually selling services & products. WE ARE the product that happens to OFFER services🥴🤣🤷🏽‍♀️

So if u don’t understand my craft enough to recognize what I already provide, then u will NEVER understand the value in it or the rationale behind my cost increases.

You will always see me as “a hair stylist” & ur behavior & questions toward me will indicate that. 🥴

I am not about to give an accounting breakdown to guests, customers & clients who are price shopping, comparison shopping, chair hopping & using social media as their measuring tool for their expectations.

PLEASE don’t get on my nerves before you even get in my chair.

I will send your retainer back & gone on about my day!😒🤷🏽‍♀️

My whole vibe, pricing strategy, marketing process, mind set, client base, location, income, service menu…it’s all completely different!

If the business woman I was back then could see the business woman I’ve become, I know she would be so proud of me!

I’m grateful for every nay sayer, fake personality, back talker, diminishing comment, non believer…u name it!! Without that, the success I have now wouldn’t be as sweet💯🤞🏾🤣

I put a lot of effort & money into the way I operate. You don’t have to like it, but you WILL respect it!!😤

And it surely ain’t the price of an elective luxury service🥴🙄😒

Listen:

*I don’t care what “they” charge.
~My prices have nothing to do with “them”.

*I don’t care how close “they” are to you.
~My location has nothing to do with “them”.

*I don’t care if “they” do services that I don’t.
~My service menu has nothing to do with “them”.

*I don’t care if “they” have clients everyday.
~My schedule has nothing to do with “them”.

*I don’t care if “they” do free consultations.
~My process has nothing to do with “them”.

*I don’t care if “they” don’t require a retainer to make a reservation.
~My scheduling method has nothing to do with “them”

Please remember that MY business & the way I run it is based on ME, the clients that “I” service & the goals meant to serve what works in THIS space.

If it doesn’t work for YOU, cool! Find what does & keep your opinions to YOURSELF!

The same way I didn’t solicit YOUR business, you don’t have to tell me what you think about mine. Especially when I didn’t ask. 😘

I use a calendar like it’s the holy grail of my existence. Everything from my work schedule to my agreed days on keeping my grand girl gets added to the lineup. 🙌🏾

If you see me doing anything other than breathing, best believe I scheduled it into my plans!💯

So when people seemingly roll out the bed or wake up from their lives & reach out to me for an appointment…to be scheduled on the day they contacted me!? At a time THEY see fit?! Then treat it like it’s life or death!? Suddenly their hair is in serious need of my expertise!? Miraculously, they just DECIDED “it’s time” to seek professional help…RIGHT NOW!? Immediately! It BLOWS MY MIND completely🤯

….cuz at what point did you stop to take a good look at yourself & decide you needed to do better?! Surely it was WAY before THIS MORNING…after you had breakfast!?🙄

Bottom line, I have a process that was created to filter out people who don’t respect structure & or TRUE professionalism. 🤷🏽‍♀️

For some folks, they think it begins & ends with the words “please & thank you” or moving my feet when they wave a couple dollars at me 🙄

Well I’m here to tell you that time management & respect (from you too!!) is REAL big on my list of attributions! So if you move through life on whims…if your priorities are being held together by duct tape & bubble gum…if you don’t like process & or protocols…you won’t like me🤷🏽‍♀️.

So please don’t shoot the messenger. Just find another person to point your frustrations at. I mean, I’m glad you like my work! I appreciate the interest, but I’ve got a business to run…& I can’t do it with people who think I work when THEY want me to or price myself how THEY think I should 🤷🏽‍♀️

The beauty industry has set the bar so low that clients are now asking if shampoo & blow dry service comes with their menu selection. 🤦🏾‍♀️

I swear I wish somebody would put pride back into what matters in Cosmetology. It ain’t all about price, speed, styling ability & piecing out every single standard of the salon visit.

As LICENSED COSMETOLOGISTS (not to be confused with licensed natural stylists) Where did the foundational elements go? Who told y’all to stop including shampoo service? At what part of the chapter on sanitation did they drop cleansing the hair & scalp before performing services?

It makes me cringe every time a new client asks me if my services include a shampoo. Like, what have we done to people that this is even a question they have to ask now!?!😩🙄😡

We gotta do better🤷🏽‍♀️

Please understand something: My process & the way I operate has evolved. It’s going to evolve again! That’s business🤷🏽‍♀️

What DOESN’T change are my values!🤌🏾

The people who can get with that, find me, book without pushback, respect my process & stay!

Reviews like this let me know I’m doing exactly what I set out to do & reaching those who are in alignment with that purpose🙏🏾
