If you’re really trying to elevate your clientele in 2025, here are some gems straight from my own experience: ✨
Not just the cute tips… but the REAL details that make clients feel at home with you.
• Feed your clients — literally.
I don’t just hand them a snack and walk away. If the vibe is right, we’ll order food together, laugh, talk, and make it a moment.
When clients feel like they’re getting their hair done and hanging with someone who actually cares about them, they come back every time.
-
• Make your space feel like a safe little escape.
It doesn’t have to be the biggest or the fanciest studio. Warm lighting, a clean setup, soft music, candles that smell like vanilla and boss energy… these little things make clients feel relaxed the second they sit down.
-
• Talk to your clients, not at them.
Ask about their hair goals, their lifestyle, their insecurities, what they love. People remember when you listen. It makes them trust your hands AND your brand.
-
• Be consistent with YOUR energy.
Clients should never have to guess who they’re walking into. Whether I’m tired, booked, or busy, I still give grace, softness, professionalism, and a smile. Energy is a part of the service.
-
• Educate them like they’re family.
Don’t gatekeep. Tell them what products will help, what routines matter, and what to avoid. When you genuinely pour into clients, word of mouth becomes automatic.
-
• Make everything feel intentional.
From the way you drape your cape… to how you prep their hair… to offering a warm towel… to sending them home with a maintenance card.
Details build loyalty more than discounts ever will.
-
• Show the human side of your business.
Post your work, yes—but also post the moments. The laughs. The aesthetics. The experience. People book people, not just pictures.
