We start off the podcast with a quick introduction of Helen, as she tells us more about herself, how she started her salon at 41 and her training as a lash tech. She also talks to us about her very happy childhood, her life before she started her professional career and how she got into the beauty industry.
9:33-14:12
Helen talks about womanhood and how motherhood can change your priorities even in terms of your career as well as your general goals in life. She shares how her salon business worked out with her own family situation and how her daughters are so proud of the incredible career she has built for herself. Along with this, she talks about entertaining clients at odd hours of the day when she had just started her business and how COVID-19 impacted her business practices.
21:04-23:42
Helen talks about the importance of working on customer service to improve client experience and make them feel special. Small things like putting your client's coats on a warmer can truly make a difference and ensure that clients keep coming back for more and more of your services. This segment contains a lot of advice on personal branding and its benefits for your business, so don't miss out!
Key takeaways
#1 It's never too late to start
It's never too late to chase a dream as long as your passion and drive are strong enough. To set up and run your business, you need a proper strategy, work ethic, and focus and what you don't need is a socially acceptable age or any other social characteristic that is deemed fit to become a business owner. Shoot your shot and remember that it is better to try something and fail than to not do anything and regret about never even once trying.
#2 Don't undersell yourselves
If you are confident that you are offering something to your client that is not readily available in the market, charge accordingly. Clients will be willing to pay a few extra bucks if the service is worth it, even if they can get something for cheaper at another business that does not provide the same quality.
