Courtney Winters | Blonding Specialist

Courtney is Kuene haircolor + blonding specialist at Blue Sky Salon Suites in Overland Park, Kansas. From school she went straight to Super Cuts for 6mo then Fantastic Sams where she did a lot of color and learned a lot! She then had a not so great commission salon experience before another 3 years at commission salon that gave her foundation to be an independent stylist! Her dream day: 2, 4-hr foils + balyage appointments Obsessed with:  building my dream clientele and dream schedule! Hanging out with my two cats, living life with my partner, hanging out with friends, watching Netflix/reading or hanging out with my little sisters  Pro Tip #1:  Find ''your people'' make legitimate connections—— people you can connect with on a personal level in Facebook groups and let them know you can help them with their hair! For example: Courtney loves ''My Favorite Murder'' podcast and listeners refer to themselves as ''Murderinos'' and there is a local Facebook group for fans she posted in and the salon had 35 calls following! Pro Tip #2:  posting on social media is you #1 best friend and be consistent!!! Pro Tip #3: next door app (75% of clients from there). Just get on there "hey, I’m a stylist building my clientele" and offer $10 of first visit $20 off 2nd visit because they say they’re hooked if they come to you 3x. And ask for referrals!
