Start with your story

Clients connect with passion. Outline:

  • Your specialty (precision bobs, corrective cuts, textured shags).
  • The tools you trust and why (mention ergonomics, steel, maintenance habits).
  • Your education path and ongoing training.

Weekly marketing rhythm

Day Task Why it matters
Monday Post a quick tip video (30 seconds) about a common shear issue Positions you as the go-to expert
Wednesday Share a client testimonial or before/after Builds trust
Friday Highlight upcoming CE workshops or openings Keeps your calendar full

Use batch creation: film three clips in one session and schedule them.

Visual checklist

  • Record in natural light against a tidy backdrop.
  • Show close-ups of the technique (slide cutting, shear-over-comb).
  • Add captions for viewers watching on mute.

Offer value without sounding salesy

  • Create a “maintenance mini guide” PDF for new clients.
  • Host monthly Q&A on Instagram or salon email list.
  • Partner with educators to co-host demo nights.

Track basics

Fill the Service Pricing Calculator with marketing-driven services (e.g., “Precision Bob Makeover Package”) and monitor how promotions impact bookings.

Consistent, bite-sized storytelling beats sporadic big campaigns—make it a standing appointment just like sanitizing your tools.
