Coming from someone who was originally booth rent, and now is commission. It’s a huge factor whether or not you get foot traffic, have a website, on google maps, environment! When I made the change from independent to commission the biggest things I looked for were, Education; do they offer it? Do they want you to be continually educating yourself? Can you get involved in being an educator? Hair is ALWAYS evolving and trends are ever changing! Education is so so so important. The second thing I looked for was Mentorship; can I ask questions and feel heard and not “talked at”, is someone going to give me pointers or tips on how to be better at something? I want to be amazing at my job, I don’t want to just settle for the basic education I got in school and be stuck with that. The other thing I wanted to get a feel for was environment! Environment; having a space where you feel loved, supported, confident, smart, and truly (like actually) get along with your coworkers is SOO important on your mental health, your work health, your home life, this effects how you feel about your job 100%!!

My world has completely changed after seeing this!! This is awesome!!

I would say, trust your gut when it comes to connecting with clients. It means the world to them to feel comfortable and confident with you and your skills! Lean into that! The more you learn to trust yourself the more they do!
