Hi this is kindone of a continuation or my last trend I've looked and looked and salon just isn't coming my way but I don't want to sit on my hands I don't feel people ready yet so what do I do??
After nearly 2000 on a course and I'm feeling worried my game is off since I've started taking hairdressing seriously I can do my hair and my daughters hair fine but anyone else I go to pieces I know it's confidence I have 2 salons offering me space but nobody to work under or learn from I'd like to try but not yet are these online training sites like my hairdresser.com any good? I finish college in September and I want to continue but without and one to work under do I just stay home and practice my cuts and styling until I'm doing them in my sleep and just go it alone.
Also how do you get people to let you even do there hair?? That's part of what's taken my confidence since starting college when you say to people "I've been at college to get my hairdressing qualifications it's like a turn off I'm finding people very reluctant but are happy to go to the unqualified hairsalon down the high street im not knocking it but it's like how do u start out getting people to trust you I've not had time to maintain my look as I've been at college do I need to have a make over and spend a few months as I said practicing on blocks and myself and building up photos to show people?? I'm so confused I'm a messy creative type I love colour and moving towards hair extensions and hair replacement but these things are bothering me I'm not sure how to go foward money is tight as this has been a career change I've been selling human hair since 2013 but stopped to go to college as I would like to eventually open a salon but the way things are I don't know if that was the right thing to do as I'm now struggling to relaunch myself as a haidresser and the ltitle budget I had went on the course any advice would be appreciated
