10 Mistakes Stylists Make When Cutting Curlies
by CurlStylist on Monday, March 4, 2013
When we asked curly clients for their horror cut-and-blow dry stories, we got an earful!
1. Thinned the hair/used a razor.
2. Gave a blunt cut.
3. Didn’t use a diffuser.
4. Ran fingers through the hair during the blow dry.
5. Dried the head upside down.
6. Cut the hair wet.
7. Cut too much; didn’t consider how much curl takes away from length.
8. Combed the hair while wet.
9. Used a small round brush to blow dry.
10. Used no product.
Now you know what NOT to do, use the education and suggestions in this issue and other texture education to focus on all the positive things you can do to be a curl expert and total beauty resource for your clients!

Business Building Techniques Begin having frequent staff meetings and collaborate on business building techniques used by others that you work with. Every salon has success right inside. Get the top booker to explain how they do it. Pair the weakest with the strongest and let them work next to each other. They can learn from what they hear and see. Do the same with retail sales. Share the ways that the top stay on top. Geno Stampora, Stampora Consulting Inc. |
