Hairchair Boss Angelina Campos

Hairstylists tend to be on the giving end, not on the receiving side. If you’re in the service industry, giving so much of your time, creativity and energy to make your client feel good and look good, you are the “giving” type of person.
Knowing how to receive takes practice. In this episode, I give you tools on how you can be more on the receiving end so that you are open to receiving great clients and open to receiving great money, without feeling guilt or whatever else may pop up in your mind. In reality, that  just the act of receiving and being comfortable with receiving is going to help you get out of your own way. More at www.Hairchairboss.com

It’s amazing how an “aha” moment of relevation can be a life changer. A lot of hairstylists who are independent chair and booth renters struggle with pricing, which underneath is often an issue of self-worth and confidence.


When you are not being a confident hair stylist from the inside out, you start to doubt your value and your worth, this shows up in your pricing.
When you listen to the Hairchair Boss episode 41, you will soon discover the difference between being fair, being confident and being a stylist who had an amazing self worth. Stay tuned!

This topic comes from a question I received in the Hairchair Boss Facebook group. This stylist’s challenge and question is wanting to know how to protect their energy against downer clients, catty stylists and micro-managing salon owners. 
I like this question because it’s something that a lot of hairstylists face in one way or another. This is a real issue that I know you have either faced or may encounter in the future and I want to be able to give you some tools that will help you navigate any of these situations. 
And as a business and life coach to booth renter hairstylists, I hear about these challenges from my students and as a long time booth renter myself, I totally understand these situations because I’ve been in your shoes and I’ve had to deal with every single one these challenges myself. 
Being that Hairchair Boss is all about the inside out approach, I’ll be sharing some insights that you probably haven't thought about before. These insights are going to help transform the way you approach your business, your clients, your co-renters, salon owners and life overall. 
Because when you’re faced with downer clients, catty stylists and micro-managing salon owners, all of these skills are going to come in quite handy and make your life and business a lot easier and far more enjoyable. And you’ll feel empowered as a result!

Sometimes we just need proof and evidence that we are stronger and more powerful than we think we are.

If you're like me and so many hair stylists around the world, you have found yourself in an uncomfortable situation, whether it's a haircut that isn't quite coming out the way you or the client would like, or a color job that is taking an unexpected turn in a direction you don't want to go! Or maybe you’re engaging in a new client consultation and in the midst of it you realize that you and the client is just not a good fit and you don't know how to get out of the situation. These are all situations that could start a downward spiral if we let it.
It not only happens in the salon, it happens in other situations because life happens all around us. A phrase that has stuck with me for years is, the way you do one thing is the way you do everything. And this holds true for the positive things you do and the negative things you do.

Disempowering thoughts and words you often say or think to yourself and they will get in the way of you being the kick-butt problem solving, resourceful, capable and confident person you truly are. That's why it's so important to catch yourself as soon as possible.
 One way to do that is to remind yourself daily. A great practice and habit to create is every morning you look in the mirror and declare all the wonderful characteristics about yourself. But here’s the catch, just saying it is not enough. You must imagine yourself BEING that person and DOING the action and HAVING the outcome you desire.
The more you step into being the person you need to be, you will spend far less time and energy in that disempowering place and you'll soon be able to respond with positive self-talk and inner guidance that will catapult you to the outcome you desire! I’m glad you’re here and I hope information from the episode helps you in a future stressful situation. Stay tuned!

Attention hairstylists! Know the pros of salon booth rental and how to succeed renting your chair.
You are in charge of EVERYTHING.  
Being in charge of everything means that only you can be held accountable and responsible for the outcome of your business. That being said, freedom in just about every area of your chair renter business is the golden ticket for so many hairstylists and it’s the #1 reason hair stylists, make-up artists, barbers and estheticians choose the independent route. 
You have total freedom and flexibility as a booth renter hairstylist. You have the freedom to set your prices and keep more of what you earn.You choose client attraction marketing strategies that actually get clients in your chair.You choose the clients you want to keep in your chair and how you serve them. When you move salons, your clients move with you. You have total freedom over the kind of business you want to create that will support the kind of life you want to live. Is salon booth rental right for you?
As you can see, salon booth rental allows you to have tremendous freedom and flexibility in your business and in your life. And that’s the bottom line to remember, it’s a business. As is with any business that desires to be successful and profitable, it will require you to be a lot more than your craft and it’s not enough to just be a hairstylist behind the chair. If putting on your entrepreneur hat sounds exciting to you and you are more motivated than ever to make it happen, you’re definitely going to want to take a peek at Hairchair Boss Bootcamp so that you have the opportunity to get the guidance you need to set yourself up for booth rental success. 

There are a number of reasons a hairstylist might consider going from being a commission-based salon employee to becoming an independent hair stylist or barber and choosing to booth rent, also known as renting a salon chair.
The vision you may have of total freedom is intriguing and it’s most likely the number one reason for wanting to be a booth renter in the hair industry. But that freedom does come with a price. And before you venture out on your own with a business as an independent stylist, there’s a lot of intention, commitment and dedication that you’ll want to be stepping into before you take the exciting leap. 
If you are currently booth renting or aspiring to and you don’t become the kind of entrepreneur you need to be in order to build your salon clientele plus know how to sustain it for the life of your business, your vision will remain a distant fantasy. 
And there’s nothing good or bad, right or wrong in terms of your decision to booth rent or not,  it’s a matter of being confident with your decision, whatever it is. As with any career move you make, determining whether or not the new direction is a good fit for you, and vice versa, is one of the most important factors to consider. 
As is with everything in life, there are pros and cons on both sides. Even for salon owners and managers, there are pros and cons to owning or managing a booth rental salon. This post is written for you as the current booth renter hairstylist or the aspiring one.   
I share my personal experience with being a commission hairstylist, admittedly for a relatively short time, and my decision to take the salon booth/chair rental route that lasted nearly 30 years. I hope you find value in this episode. Stay tuned!
