TWO(2) MISTAKES EVERY BUSINESS OWNER MUST AVOID

Braided Wigcap

Starting a business can be exciting, in fact the most exciting moment of my life was when I opened my salon.

I was thrilled by owing a salon of my own, I was young, energetic, gifted but I lacked any prior business experience and that cost me a lot.

Against this backdrop, I want to share 2 costly mistakes I made and how it made my business to grow at a very slow pace.

 

1. ASSUMPTIONS  

As my husband would say "Assumption is the mother of all fuckups". If you would ever going to mess up in your business, life and even relationship, assume too many things. Starting off, I assumed too much. I assumed business is sweet, I assumed profit will rush in, I assumed students(my target audience) would pay but indeed, I was wrong. For the first 3 months, I didn't quite gain my stronghold. Students would come and not willing to pay. Then, I leave shop very worried. Things didn't turn out as I wanted.

Worst of it all, I assumed customers know the price, so I would do the hair without negotiation. I thought it would sound rude telling them before we start. There after, you'll here "that's the amount we do it, you didn't tell me the price before o, I can't pay more than this".
Ahhhhhhh, it was so bad that it nearly made me lose my head at times.

2. PITY: In an attempt for me to cross the hurdle of assumptions, I sank myself into the ocean of pity and got drown completely. It happened that students were unwilling to pay, so, I had pity on them. What a costly mistake. I would make hair worth 3k for 1.5k.

At least, half bread is better than none. Abi?

But I missed it. My eyes opened on that very day. This lady came to make Dry Twisting of waist length. I told her to pay 4k but begged to pay 2k. Then, I had pity on her when she told me all the experience she was facing.

Hmmmm, I felt for her, "poor lady". Not knowing I was the real poor lady.

So, I started making her hair. After a while, she called the woman next to my shop to bring the wears she sells. On the long run, the same lady I had pity on bought clothes worth 8k and to finish it all, she paid with transfer.

Ahhhhhhh, I felt I was scammed and robbed on a broad daylight. My hands were shaking as I was making the hair. I was very sad. I couldn't wait to just finish the hair and let her go away. In fact, when I finished, she asked me to snap her but I refused.

Then, I told my husband. He said I needed to work on my power of negotiation. Don't I notice that I go to market with the aim of buying something for 1k and end up buying it for 2k?

Then, I thought within myself, looking beautiful is an option. One can live without it. So, no one should come with problems as reasons not to pay.

After these, I resolved that I must always tell my customers the price before we start. Initially, my returning customers felt embarrassed but I made them see that's the new me and you know what? They're even used to it now. They'll be the one to ask me first how much I want to charge.

What more, for customers that come with problems, before they finish, I load them back with enough challenges I'm facing too. Once i sense a customer is about to take this approach, I quickly swing into action and make her have that "pity" on me not the other way round.

Really, experience is all that matters in business. If you don't have prior experience, getting a mentor is the key. It will make a smooth passage for you.

HAIR AND MAKE UP MASTERCLASS

DON'T READ IF YOU'RE NOT READY TO TAKE ACTION!

Have you been dreaming of starting your own hair dressing business?

Are you wondering what and how to start your business? You're not alone. I've once been there. It's very frustrating before starting and it may even be more after starting.

You're a stylist but you know nothing special about the job. You dream of learning dreads, making braids like a pro and ensuring all your closures are neat and perfect but no opportunity to do so.

More worrisome is how you get clients. Yes, you need clients to climb up, you need clients to prove your worth. But how?

There are several things that make you get new customers. The truth is your work will speak for you. When you ensure you deliver quality service to one, be rest assured that you invariably have two customers.

What I'm saying is quality delivery is the hallmark of any start up business. You need to be good at what you do.

Imagine this:

1. You don't have enough capital to compete with established businesses around you 
2. You're just new to the business and you have little to no knowledge of how to market yourself 
3. The work load seems too bulky for you to do the job and still be active on social media

Imagine all that and yet, YOU'RE STILL NOT GOOD at what you do!

Haba!!!

You've already placed yourself at a very disadvantaged position.

You can't lack those things and still cant deliver excellent services to the few people around you.

OK, Let me now tell you how I made 20k from making hair worth 5k for just 2k.

This client called me that she wanted to make my UNIQUE SPIRAL BRAIDS. I told her it's 5k but bcos she came through my husband, I agreed to do it 2k. Yes, 2k!

At first, she didn't believe I could be so small in stature with such great talent. I did the job, she was impressed and from the woman alone, I got jobs worth 10k, 5k, 3k and 2k within 1 month.

20k seems so small but that came from just a client who enjoyed quality service from me. See, I can boast very well around my shop, no one beats my services, yes, NO ONE!

If you're wondering how to get started in a big way, here is an opportunity for you. I'm going to be doing 2 weeks intensive hair classes for FREE! This is not for just beginners, it's a masterclass.

In this training, I will be showing you unique techniques you've never seen before. My trademark techniques that stands me out.

THINGS YOU DO THAT DAMAGE YOUR HAIR

THINGS YOU DO THAT DAMAGE YOUR HAIR

Is your hair dry, damaged or frizzy? Is your hair just not growing to the length you desire? If so, it could be because you are doing something wrong. There are many ways to keep your hair long, healthy and soft.

When you get in the shower, don't bundle up all your hair on top of your head and then lather because that hurts your hair, making it weaker and frail. It’s piled on top of your head, each hair is inter twined with one and other, which causes breakage.

If you run the shampoo through your hair with your fingers, while its hanging freely, then it causes less breakage. Plus if your hair doesn’t feel that soft, it could be because you shampoo your hair too much, or your hair is naturally frail.

So give your hair a break, shampoo your hair twice a week. By doing this you’re letting your natural oils work into your hair and it gives your hair a bit more moisture. As long as you condition it, it wont get greasy. For maximum moisture condition your hair first, and then do everything else you do in the shower. After you’re done then wash out the conditioner, keeping it in longer also makes it smell better. Dehydrated hair really lacks shine so whip some eggs into room temperature water and apply to your hair then rinse with room temperature water.

All these seem pretty difficult to do as we all have busy weekdays and maybe weekends. But guess what? K-hair Salon is here to groom your hair and keep your natural beauty in shape! We are always open at 9am to 9pm and are happy to welcome you anytime!

You can contact us on 08066808983 and we'll be at your service till you're satisfied. So as long as you're happy, we're contented.
