Hairdressers are especially suited to working for themselves!
Have You Considered Self-Employment?
by Shiro Shears on Monday, February 15, 2010
Working for yourself. What an amazing dream. But it doesn’t have to remain a dream: millions of people run their own businesses, people just like you. This may surprise you but hairdressers are especially suited to working for themselves.
Your typical hairdresser is confident and outgoing—essential qualities for building up a client base or going to ask your bank manager for a loan, and hairdressers are great at multi-tasking; a bonus when you have to be receptionist, accountant, promoter and sales person all rolled into one!
Hairdressers have fantastic time-management skills (that’s what it’s called when you get through a day with a double column and nobody turns up on time), are hardworking, determined, and creative. All these qualities are the bedrock of entrepreneurs and all you need is the knowledge of how to put them into practice.
So why work for yourself? Isn’t it easier just to go to work and come home without any worry or responsibility? To have the security of regular wages, holiday pay and sick pay?
OF COURSE IT IS! But just because it’s easier, doesn’t mean it’s better. What about freedom to choose the hours you work and the type of clients you see? What about the potential to have no limits on your earnings and to keep all the profits for yourself?
And what about the satisfaction of knowing that YOU did it? You built your business up from nothing and look at you now! (more…)
New Hair Cutting Technique
New Hair Cutting Technique: How to turn the shears over for point Cutting.
A lot of customers are asking us, “What’s the best way to use my new Swivel-Thumb Shears,” from Shiro Shears?
By turning the blades upside down as demonstrated in the video; you can save your hands, arms, shoulders and neck from fatigue and pain. As most stylists cut hair, they tend to lift their arm up to at least shoulder height and turn their whole arm over when they do point cutting with the blade facing down. Now you can stop lifting your arm up and down all day by just turning the shears over in your hand and do your point cutting from this position.
Watch the video, it demonstrates the technique of turning the blade over in your hand using our Model GV swivel-thumb Scissors.
Hint: You can also get a Swivel-Thumb texturizer. This is the smoothest pair of texturizing shears we’ve had the privilege of offering. Follow us on Facebook for deals and offers!
