I posted a reel that talks about The Cut Buddy trimmers. These are budget friendly only $25!!!! 🔗https://amzn.to/4wGQ2q3 📌I couldn’t pass up buying a pair, simply because they were pocket size and CORDLESS!!! Yes! And I am a GOLD fan so they caught my eye! 📌Straight out of the box I was speechless but I had to put them to the test. I compared them to my Andis T-Outliners. Watch the video here 👇👇 https://youtube.com/shorts/2DRo9gnB9qE?is=cKuNPdu59jLIngfL 📌The company advertise that they come zero gapped meaning they should be sharp and doesn’t need any adjustments. Now to say they’re small, I couldn’t believe they included guards. So that is a BONUS! 📌From a professional stand point, I would only use these as backup trimmers or to use for a quick trim. Preferably, I like my salon tools to feel like HIGH QUALITY. These feel like a toy trimmer for a rookie. They are indeed perfect for traveling, quick maintenance but not for heavy duty jobs. As you know weave dull out your blades so over time I don’t see them lasting that long. But for the price you can always buy another pair. 📌As I was trimming I noticed that it just wasn’t giving me that sharp lining without me having to go back over it 3-4 times to make sure the lining was crispy. So I did go to my Andis-T Outliners. But overall I do feel like it is worth having a pair for “convenience, traveling, light jobs or backup” 📌Cutting weave is different than cutting natural hair. I don’t think you would get a crispy lining on natural Hair as you would with weave.

What booking platform are you currently using for your business? - ✨ Acuity - ✨ GlossGenius - ✨ StyleSeat - ✨ Booksy - ✨ Square - ✨ Vagaro - ✨ Your Own Website Scheduler - ✨I’m old school, manually scheduling clients What do you love about it and what you wish it did better. 💡Your booking site is more than just a calendar, it’s part of your client experience and your brand. The right platform can help you: - ✅ Collect deposits - ✅ Reduce no-shows - ✅ Keep client information organized - ✅ Automate reminders - ✅ Save time by letting clients book themselves - Not every platform is built the same, so it’s important to choose one that fits your workflow, not just what’s popular: ✍️I use Acuity Scheduling The biggest reason I chose Acuity is because clients can upload photos when they book. Since I REQUIRE clients to send a photo of their hair and what they would like to have done prior to booking. THIS IS A MUST!! This feature is a deal breaker. It saves time and helps me prepare before my client ever walks through the door. I also like the personalization. You can customize quite a bit, and the pricing is reasonable for everything that’s included. Now, is it my favorite? No. I think the backend could be organized much better. The layout is pretty basic, and while that’s great if you don’t want anything complicated, I do wish it felt more modern. I also think they could do a better job with marketing features specifically for beauty professionals. Overall, it’s a solid platform that gets the job done and offers a lot of flexibility. But if I had a choice it would definitely be GlossGenius hands down! 📌It almost gives you the feel of having your own website without actually building one. The booking experience is beautiful, the service menu looks professional, and the overall branding is hard to beat. 📌The only reason I don’t currently use it is because clients can’t upload photos during the booking process. For my business, that’s a deal-breaker. If you need inspiration photos, current hair photos, or consultation images, your clients have to send them separately by email, text, or another form, which creates an extra step.

💎One of the biggest reasons people don’t get started is simply because they DIDN’T get started!! You can’t wait until it’s perfect to get started! Don’t wait for: The perfect logo. The perfect website. The perfect camera. The perfect wig. The perfect post. The perfect amount of confidence. Every successful business owner you admire started before they felt completely ready. Their first product wasn’t perfect. Their first video wasn’t perfect. Their first sale wasn’t perfect. But they kept going. Every time you put something out into the world, you learn something you could never learn by sitting on the sidelines. Your customers aren’t looking for perfection. They’re looking for someone who can solve their problem. Don’t let fear disguise itself as “preparation.” Remember this: You can improve something that’s been published. You can refine something that’s been sold. You can update something that’s already making money. But you can’t grow from something that never started. 🛑So stop waiting for perfect. Launch the product. Post the video. List the wig. Send the email. Start the business. Think about one thing you’ve been putting off because it “isn’t ready.” Now ask yourself: 🤔What’s one small action I can complete today instead of waiting another week?

🚨 FACEBOOK & INSTAGRAM CHANGES 🚨 I want to make everyone aware of an important change that could affect how your content performs. Meta (Facebook) is continuing to prioritize content that keeps users on Facebook and Instagram instead of sending them to external websites. Because of this, many creators and business owners are seeing reduced reach on posts containing external links, and Meta is testing new limits on link sharing for some professional accounts. (Social Media Examiner) ⚠️ If you receive a notification that your account or content has been restricted, don’t ignore it. That is a sign your account or post has been flagged for review or has triggered one of Meta’s systems. Review your Account Status and Account Quality to understand the reason and avoid repeated issues. (Facebook) ✅ DO: • Create content that educates and starts conversations. • Encourage comments instead of immediately sending people off the platform. • Use your bio link, Stories, or DMs strategically. • Install a Meta Pixel on your website if you plan to run ads. • Review your Account Quality regularly. 🚫 AVOID: • Filling flyers with website URLs. • Constantly saying “Click the link.” • Making every post look like an advertisement. • Repeatedly posting the same promotional content. 💡 Reality check: Organic reach is becoming more challenging. Many businesses are finding that paid ads are becoming a more important part of their marketing strategy if they want consistent traffic to their websites. That’s why having a Meta Pixel installed now is so important, helps you track visitors and improve your ad results when you do advertise. (Social Media Examiner)
