If you’ve been noticing fewer appointments, gaps in your schedule, or wondering if the economy is the reason your clientele isn’t growing… You’re not alone. But here’s the truth most hairstylists aren’t talking about: It’s not just the economy. In this episode of Cutting Through It, I’m sharing a different perspective on why some hairstylists continue to stay fully booked — even when others are struggling with slow books.
