What are your best tips for convincing a client to try a dull-to-glam makeover?
The key word is desirable. Every woman out here has the potential to look and feel like a star, so it’s a matter of taking the runway to the walkway, and customizing it to what your client is comfortable with trying. If you instill confidence into your client she will run with her head held high and heads will turn! I tell my clients to consider the people that you stand in front of your audience, and know that your audience is as confident with you as you are with yourself.
What is the biggest mistake weave wearers make?
In my opinion the biggest mistake is not investing in quality hair. To wear weave is to be a part of a lifestyle and if you are not ready to make the investment, leave this lifestyle alone.
What is your best advice for young women who want to follow in your footsteps?
First of all be true to yourself. Do not let anyone convince you that being a stylist is less of a career. Put your all into your business and it will harvest great fruit. Also know your value, you have been educated to do this so don’t cut your pay like you are doing this as a hobby; invest in your craft; the more you learn the more you earn.
