Quit Doing What You Hate & Watch What Happens | ft. Jules Heron
In this episode of Kim's Chair, Jules Heron of Hair for Humans in Portland, Oregon gets real about why so many clients leave the salon without getting what they asked for, why quitting color was the best business decision they ever made, and how going all in on what they actually love led to 750,000 followers across four platforms and $12,000 months on Facebook.Jules also breaks down the Facebook reposting strategy that changed everything, why consistency and authenticity will always outperform perfection, and what it really means to build a clientele around your strengths rather than what you think you're supposed to be doing.This one is for every stylist who has ever felt stuck doing something they hate just because they thought they had to.✨ Jules Heron – Hairstylist, Hair Educator & Owner of Hair For HumansBased in Portland, ORIG: @hairforhumansTikTok: @hairforhumansYouTube: Hair For HumansWebsite: https://www.hairforhumans.com🛍️ Shop Virtue Labs through my link:https://www.virtuelabs.com/en/stylist/Kim-Allison✅ Subscribe for more conversations with the voices reshaping the beauty industry.Click Here For More Info: https://linktr.ee/TrendywithKimAllison– Listen on Spotify, Apple, and all podcast platforms.– Follow @trendywkimallison on Instagram and TikTok.TIME STAMPS:00:00 – Intro & Welcome00:59 – How Hair Found Jules02:35 – Why Clients Don't Get What They Asked For06:33 – Trans Identity & The Hair Industry10:01 – Is the Hair Industry Actually Inclusive?17:27 – How Long Jules Has Been in the Industry18:20 – The $12K Month on Facebook19:06 – Why Jules Quit Color & What Happened Next24:17 – Content Creation & Growing to 750K Followers27:05 – The Facebook Reposting Strategy32:17 – Consistency Over Perfection36:14 – The Power of the Consultation40:07 – 60 Second Blowout Game43:04 – Where to Find JulesSubscribe to stay in the know.
