Based upon the number of visitors of the website, Google Analytics tells me the highest number of visitors are on the pages about selling hair or starting a hair business with no, or little money. How much money is needed to start a hair business?
The bad thing of having a lot of money is you run the risk you spend your money on things you do not need. You do not care before you invest your money in bitcoins if you have plenty of money. You are not staying awake if you bought bad hair for a lot of money. Wake up early and buy your hair in another store. But okay, for the rest, having too much money, is only a good thing.
Having not that much money makes you a smart decision maker, you only invest what you can afford and do not risk your money or time to any risky business. Make a note, successful businesses built on sales, not on spending money.
Learn who wants to buy your hair from you for free
Now you will start the interrogation, where do they buy the hair, are they happy or not. What do they like in the store or salon they buy the hair? What do they think is in fashion next season? Ask them until they do not have any secret left any more. After this part of playing Sherlock Holmes, you quickly leave the salon or store. But not before you thank them and paid the owner for the hair treatment. At home, or in your car or public transport write down their answers. All their answers. Make sure you note them in a systematic way, you will need to perform more than one interview before you have a valid view about what Women Want from a new hair business.
If you have collected the insight of 30 or more women, you’ll have pure gold in your hands. The ideas and wishes of a large group of potential customers. And what did you pay for this? Nothing, nothing at all.
Free Hair to test
If you have found a hair supplier with the kind of hair you like, you can discuss to deduct the purchase amount of your first trial order from your first wholesale order. Or they can offer special samples. Like the samples in the all-in-one hair extensions package. Do not forget to ask for pics of the hair for later use. Check if they offer drop shipping, this will avoid you to invest one dollar in hair stock and still being able to offer a wide variety of hair and beauty products.
