Why I invest $25 a month for VAGARO - The App I Use to Schedule My Clients.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ♥Life is wayyyy too crazy to remember what we had for breakfast, so I don’t expect my clients to remember their appointments!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ♥This is why I’ve invested in a program that automatically texts my clients 3 days before their appointment, and again the day before.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ♥I LOVE Vagaro. Double tap if you LOVE your text reminders 🙋🏻‍♀️⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #Hairbykatienicole #hairofinstagram #hairtransformation #hairoftheday #satisfyingvideos #modernsalon #americansalon #cosmoprof #licensedtocreate #hairclass #haireducation #vlogger #igvideo #votd #chinohillshairstylist #hairblogger Did I ever tell you about the time I dropped out of college?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I attended CSUF for 6 years! I failed business and marketing horribly. Straight F’s across the board. Ironic right?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Yikes! I had to get out of there. I clearly, did not belong.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I pursued being a Hairstylist, shortly after. And this is HOME ♥⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ My entire journey has felt so natural, effortless and fun! Of course, it’s hard work, but it was hard work that I WANTED to do!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I’m a huge believer for pursuing YOUR dreams, not someone else’s 🌻⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #entrepreneurspirit #femaleentrepreneur #womensupportingwomen #ladyboss #womeninbusiness #womenempowerment #bosschick #womenwhohustle #womenpower #bosslady #bosschicks My clients LOVE it when: ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ♥I don’t skip out on their head massage. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ♥ I put two towels under their neck in the sink bowl. Client comfort is huge. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ♥ Remove ALL the color from around their hair line. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ♥ Teach them how to curl or blow dry their hair. Education is 🗝 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ♥ Offer them water or coffee. And keep it refilled. ( that’s the server in me hehe ) ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Just a few small things that can make a huge difference 🌻 You know what I like about getting older... accepting my consequences. Owning up to my actions. ♥ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ In my early twenties, I was quick to blame things around me for the position I was in. I don’t have clients because no one wants to get their hair done. I can’t save because it’s too expensive here. I’m so tired. I’m so overwhelmed.... ♥ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I‘ve discovered that those thoughts and feelings are simply results from my OWN actions. ♥⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I didn’t have clients because I was sitting on my phone watching makeup tutorials instead of investing in advertising. I was broke because I was making poor spending habits. I was tired because I wasn’t exercising. I was overwhelmed because I wasn’t managing my time correctly. ♥ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ This year, I hope to continue to take action instead of react to consequences. To be more mindful of my decisions and how they will affect me in the future. It’s really a beautiful thing to know we are in control of our success, money, love and happiness. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Ya, I can’t wait for this new adventure 💛 . . #palmdesert #beautifulviews #explore Perfume for Hair - I always trust Moroccan Oil to mask all my lazyyy days with a gorgeous shine and delicious smell 😌 it’s not everyday I can hit my hair with some shampoo ✨ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Can I get an amen for Moroccan Oil, they nailed it. THAT ONE TIME, I couldn’t wait to be an Adult. . . ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Without realizing that I’d be paying $1500 a month for housing, $1500 a month in work expenses, $700 a month in car and health bills.... ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ But being able to eat dessert whenever I want, priceless 💁🏻‍♀️ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Adulting, you’re worth it ♥ When I said I wanted to be a hairstylist, my feedback was kind of shitty... ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I got “there’s already so many hairstylists” or “how are you going to find clients?” ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Bit♥h, please don’t kill my vibe ✋🏻 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Competition was never, ever in my thoughts. I honestly didn’t even think of other people ( I’m so selfish 😜 ) ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I thought of: - How am I going to grow in this industry. - How am I going to become a better hairstylist. - What can I offer to my clients for them to get the best experience. - What are clients looking for in a Hairstylist? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I’m kind of, well, really competitive— with myself. So I wasn’t afraid to put in the extra work. ⚡️ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ♥ “If you continuously compete with others, you become bitter, but if you compete with yourself you become better.” ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Ps. Hairstylists, dont forget to grab your freebie in my bio! It’s Sunday! Everybody knows to take it easy and rest, but do we? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I’m not comfortable with the idea of doing nothing. I feel like everyday needs to be spent working, grinding, emailing, engaging on Instagram, creating. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Can’t stop- - - NEED to stop ✋🏻 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I just refreshed my email and I have about five emails from new clients who are looking to book!! Yay!! I’m so excited to respond but it’s taking every ounce of energy in me NOT to. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I have to remind myself to separate my work life and my personal life. To put my business on hold. To choose Self Care and enjoy a Sunday ✨ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Today, I chose to lay in bed until 10am with my little love bug! I then went to my moms to visit with the fam, hangout, have lunch and just chill. I’m now back at home sitting on the couch wrapped up in a blanket. Putting work related tasks on hold. 🌟 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ And to be honest, my mind is still running 100 miles an hour. “I should be working, I should respond to those emails, I should work on the podcast, I should be writing down ideas...”⚡️ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ But today. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I choose ME. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ It’s never easy to put yourself first, but it’s a must if you don’t want to feel burnt out! 💛 Happy Sunday ! I’ve talked about starting a podcast for almost a year now! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Honestly, where does the time go?! I would absolutely LOVE to record some of our convos that go on in the salon! You’d be amazed how awesome our convos can get! So relatable to all women! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ As I’m growing into a hairstylist coach, I’ll most likely make it an educational tool for hairstylists ☺️ I love education myself and am totally excited to be on the teaching side! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ The first episode has been recorded 😬 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Do any of you listen to podcasts? I’m a huge fan 🙋🏻‍♀️
