How jealousy in the hair business helps suppliers to sell bad hair!

How jealousy in the hair business helps suppliers to sell bad hair!

If you start selling hair, you will not please everybody. Especially the hair business is famous for its high level of jealousy and envy. How to avoid you will end up feeling miserable because of all the negative vibes from others? While your only goal is to make people feel and look good?

You never noticed the high level of jealousy in the business? Please find a small test and tell me the response you got.
Look for a friend who is selling hair and ask her where did she buy her foundation. Big chance she will tell you the shop name, some recommendations and her trick to het it cheaper. Now it’s time for the second step. Ask her this very simple question” Where do you get the hair from, because I want to start selling?”

See how she will change her mood. Ask her again for the address of the awesome foundation. Perhaps she suddenly does not recall any more if the shop is still open.

This is jealousy, and it is not the most inspiring part of this business. It does a lot of harm to the hair business. Think about how quick all suppliers would be unable to sell their bad hair, if everybody shared their experience with each other.

But there will always be jealousy. Because of the success of somebody:
– if it’s a bank account,
– car,
– husband,
– kids,
– house or

hair extensions store, jealousy will always be in our lives.
It’s one of the ancient survival techniques. From the days, when our ancestors did still respect mother nature instead of trying to kill her. Long time ago.

How to avoid jealousy of others will make your life miserable? Or even worse. How to avoid the envy from others will stop you from becoming a successful hair extensions owner. A store with no bad hair!

 

Make love not war with other hair stores

First, understand why your friends feel jealous. Try to find a mutual base to work together, to share experience and skills. She has clients in a part of town difficult for her to maintain? You can help her to take care of these clients. Or she can do nails too. Offer her to refer clients to her.

Try to keep on talking with your friend, the hair business should not come between the two of you. Unless the two of you are the only hair sellers in the State, there is room enough for the both of you and consider working together to beat other stores. Imagine what discounts you can get if you combine your purchasing power. Place combined wholesale orders, double the quantity as each of you. You can improve your margins thanks to your friendship.

Turn envy into something that will work for you and you make big gains plus strong relationships. Do not forget to tell others if you have a good source for your hair. This will reduce the stress and money you will lose if you buy hair from bad hair suppliers.

To be successful in selling hair extensions and to get people into your hair store, all you need to know is what people want to buy. You create a profile of your ideal client and all the hair you have in your hair store will be sold. All you need is to know do people want to buy my hair.

You can perform a market survey. Unless you already have a lot of followers on Facebook or Instagram, where to find enough people to make it a reliable survey? You can stand at the shopping mall, but what if you do not feel comfortable to talk to strangers. Or if you do not have the time?

For hair stores in the United States there is good news! Now, you can use the data from many, many people who need stuff to buy. From Hair Extensions to fidget spinners and from prom dresses to wigs. Isn’t that great?

How to know what’s in vogue?

You can use the free tool Google has for shop owners, called “Shopping Insights”. This tool gives you per city not only demographic data, like to composition of the people who live in the town. But also, the need for certain products and services. Up to 7,000 different products.

You can even track trends to learn what products are popular in a certain period of the year. Or check if demand is increasing the last months or weeks.

What can you do?

Let’s try to see how popular the demand is for hair extensions and what you can do with this information.

First you go to the special google site

Enter for example Hair Extensions in the search bar, in the middle of the page.

This will give you an overview of all the states with the interest in hair extensions, the darker blue the more interest.
Let’s zoom in on New York,

This view will tell you not only the share of women versus men and the average household income. It will also show you the evolution of interest for hair extensions in New York.

Okay, it will not tell you if these people will buy your hair extensions. BUT it will tell you the demand for hair and some products or services you can organize around it and get into your hair store. I recommend to try a professional Shopify store for your hair business.

You can Start Your Own Hair Shop, Because I Believe in You!

If you are launching a hair business or managing your hair shop for growth, new business ideas run through your brain each and every day. A better after sales idea or an awesome design idea for your webstore! Sometimes, we come across a few particular ideas that we just can’t stop thinking about – because they are that good!
Constant brainstorming, rapid note taking and visions of success are all symptoms of this.

Many times, however, after a couple of days or even a couple of months, the motivation behind these great ideas just seems to die out and never evolve into the next step. It’s kind of sad, because for sure many of those ideas were awesome, money-making ideas and would have helped your future clients. It would have helped you to start your own hair shop.

If we can understand why this happens, then I think we can stop the momentum from slowing down and start taking things to the next level. Here are 5 main reasons why I think ideas in our head take a turn for the worse:

1. We’re Not Seeing Any Results

We live in a time where we all want things to happen FAST. For example, a search for Brazilian wefts takes only 0,00014 seconds in a Google search and it’s what we’re used to.
Ideas take time to materialize, so quitting or giving up before anything even begins to happen is a sure-fire way to kill a great idea. Remember what your goals are and why you were so excited about your idea in the first place.
One trick I learned is to map out a road map. Write down the steps you think it takes to get to where you want to go and you’ll see that you’re only in the beginning phases of the entire process. But, seeing the rest of your “roadmap”, including your goal, on paper will definitely give you the boost you need to keep going.

2. We’re Unsure of What to Do Next

This happens all of the time, but it definitely shouldn’t stop us. We’ve just reached a hurdle, and we just should do a little more research or simply ask someone for help, in order to jump over it.
Also, you can go back to your “road map” and see what the next steps are. And remember to take things step by step.

3. We Just Don’t Care Anymore

For whatever reason, you’ve lost sight of why you’re working so hard. When it comes to motivation, here’s what you can do:
o Remember why you were so excited about your idea in the first place! Imagine what life will be like at the end of the tunnel.
o Read an inspirational book or watch an inspiring movie.
o Display your favourite quotes. On my PC I have a post-it with: “Fall seven times and stand up eight” written on it and seeing this gets me going again.
o Talk it out with someone. If you’re feeling low on energy, sometimes all we need is a pick me up from a friend.
o Take a quick break. We often work on something so much that we forget why we’re doing it. Take a day or two off and you’ll often see the motivation come back in no time.

4. We’re Not Sure if Our Idea is as great as We Thought it was

Maybe you’re having second-thoughts about your idea. Maybe it’s not as awesome as you thought. This is the thought that pops into my head more often than the others and it’s definitely a downer. But here’s what you can do to keep your idea alive.
Simply put – think positive thoughts if you think positively, positive things will happen to you!
Also, you should realize that you’re not going to succeed unless you give it a try. What’s the worst that can happen?

5. We See Someone Else Doing Something Similar and It Seems Better

Okay, so someone “stole’ your idea, but it doesn’t matter. Because:
o That fact that you see someone else doing something similar to what you had in mind is actually a good thing!
In fact, it shows that it was such a great idea, that others are already using it to make money for themselves. There’s a proven market for it and now it’s your turn to join in. All you have to be better.
o The Website Designers Theory: Ever noticed how many website designers there are in your neighbourhood and most of them are in business for many years already? This proofs: you don’t need have a unique idea in order for it to succeed. And if there a need for something, there’s always room for more options and solutions in the market. For this I always recommend to compete on service and quality. You can more easily differentiate on these selling points than on price.
o Lastly, all you have to do is make yours better. Learn from the competition and think about why people will choose to visit your extensions shop and purchase from you, instead of from someone else.

I know this was a rather long post and I do apologize about that. But I hope you would agree that staying on course is essential to achieve your goal to start your own hair shop. Jumping over hurdles is the backbone for the success of any business or blog, which is why I spent some extra time on this post.

Owe an online hair extensions business, that does not owe you!

Owe an online hair extensions business, that does not owe you!

May 9, 2017 | Get Help

You run an online hair extensions business, so you are your own boss, right? Question, how many hours a week does this business owe you? How long is your working week? Do you want to run a business, or do you want to be self-employed for the rest of your days?

You need to factor in all the time you work. Including answering emails on your smartphone, while waiting in the queue. Or the time at night you worry about the sales. This is all time that the online hair extensions business takes from you.

Do you still feel the passion for running your own online hair extensions business? Or does it feel like you are working for a boss again, like you are a slave of your business? Do you belong to the people who thought business owners have complete freedom? That business owners can decide when they work and when not? Now you are in business, does it still feel like that? Or is the hair business, dictating your calendar?

Holiday

One simple question? When was the last time you did not work in the weekend? When was your last holiday that lasted longer than 2 days and felt like a holiday?

Do you feel your online hair extensions business has taken over control? If the answer is yes, you did not build a business but created a job with less days off than your previous job!

An online hair extensions business does not have to be a job.

In the beginning of your own hair business you must work long hours, that’s the bitter truth. Everything is coming your way and you should deal with everything. No freedom, no control, no day off. Fun, excitement, doubts and disappointments is filling this time.

After this stage, you will start to get your grip back on life. You will learn the tasks to perform and how to embed them in your business. But you will still have to work long hours, because you cannot delegate this to anybody else.

If you feel you are in control and you know what tasks you can delegate to others, or automatize, you will also get back your freedom. Now you are your own boss of your online hair extensions business. This hair business will operate also when you are not around.

Stop driving sales!

It seems odd but the best way to regain control and freedom is to stop being the machine that feeds your business. Stop driving for sales, all by yourselves. If you do not manage to halt being the only source for new business, you will never be able to scale your business.

You need to have a business that is generating value for your clients but also is ready to grow.

I mentioned it before, you get the best ideas when you can relax. Step away from day to day business. Is it clear WHY you want an online hair extensions business? It’s amazing how your brains will work for you if you imagine, what the goal is of all the effort you put in the business.

What would be in it for you, your loved ones and clients if your business was a machine build for growth? A hair business that was not consuming all your time?

Wrong ideas that keep you from your own online hair extensions business

What can hold you back from the big step to create a business that runs like a machine?

-The risk.

A real business might fail because a huge number of businesses do not make it their second or third year.

Okay, but that is because most of the business owners have:
no clear model, few skills, no mentors or advisors, and an inadequate support system.

In other words, it’s not the businesses that fail them. They fail their businesses because they don’t invest the time and energy in themselves as owners. They work hard, but they work hard at the wrong things. They work at the job of doing their business, not at their role as a business owner. It’s not about hard work, it’s about smart work!

Create a community around you of people that support you. Invest to strengthen your skills, this will reduce the risk you fail as a business owner.

– Too much time

You need to invest time to turn an idea into an online hair extensions business. But you need to create a hair business, not become self-employed. This means you should build a business that will function well without you. With every step you take, think on how it can be done without you. This is the great thing of an online business; many operations are constructed you do not even have to be there! Like an automated shopping cart on your website, or payment module.

– How to stay in control of all this?

Stop to think you need to be in control of every detail of your online hair extensions business. Instead, learn to build your business with the systems, team, controls, and scalable solutions in place that enable it to operate independent of your autocratic control. The more you build for personal control, the more you’re trapped into being there daily to exercise that control and to run your business. If all decisions and key actions must come back through you, then you become the single greatest bottleneck inside your own business.

– I do not have the money

Again, an online hair extensions business has many advantages, you can not only automate many tasks, you do not need too much money to start. Many business started with a capital of $ 10,000 or less. Focus on your expenses and see how you can create a community of business owners where every business owner helps each other with the tools and expertise in house. Or what about crowd funding?
