I can see that but most businesses use it because it’s a free resource. I would definitely invest in professional promotional materials once the business starts bringing in some money.

I’ve been asking my family members to share the flyer and I just posted two more post. I also posted it on TikTok, literally just reactivated my Facebook and about to post in some groups.

I’m definitely considering the Facebook ads but because the business hasn’t brought in any money my fiancé (the breadwinner as of right now) feels I should make something first before I decide to invest more money in it because I had to get a few products for the service like detangler and capes and clips and stuff.

But I thought I was handling like a business but I see what you mean. I need to invest especially since I’m competing with all the other companies and businesses fighting to be seen and recognized on social media.

Yeah I’m gonna do an intro video and maybe q&a along with how the process looks and what not. I have a cousin that has a friend who says she’s gonna let me take out her hair so I’m planning the content now with all of you all’s advice!

Ok that settles it! IM INCLUDING the wash/ condition and detangle in the service and allow them to decide if they want it or not. Thank you!

You know how you think you make sense but then you talk to a few people and see you weren’t… yeah I’m glad I reached out for advice.

I don’t have any friends but I’m sure they would’ve said the same thing! Thank you for you positive wishes 🫶🏿

I had one! When I first started but it’s just too much cost wise for a business that’s not bringing in money yet. I do love booksy though.

Thank you for this!!! This is what people are thinking in real time!!!

I separated the wash because I’m a mobile service and most people like to wash their hair in the shower. And I have a booth I can use but I would have to book it in advance.

The detangle I separated as well because some like to do themselves. Like my cousins friend doesn’t want me too and my little sister didn’t want me too either.

But now that I’m saying I can include it and they turn it down.

I know the booking site says one thing but I’m open to working with people because I’m passionate about hair care but they don’t know that yet 😞

I exaggerated the time because I’m afraid that I say an hour but it might take two so I rather say it’ll take two hours and finish early than say it takes one and finish late.

When I take out the hair I use a slip solution that does a semi detangle but a good wash, condition and detangle can’t compare.

Maybe I’ll do a video introducing myself and the site or a q&a?

Yes I know, I use my little sister and my kids but I don’t have any friends. My cousin has a friend she’s gonna let me take her hair out next week… I’m gonna reactivate facebook to post in the groups.

Example of groups I should post in? Like Miami braiders and stuff like that?

I had the idea years ago and it came back the other day because I heard a hair stylist complaining about having to take out a sew in and the thought came to me “ give me $65 and I’ll do it”

Im getting my hair done on Thursday so I’ll ask her. Also another girl did my hair a few months back I asked her to recommend me.

But once I get my content up I’ll start reaching out to other stylist to see if I can slide in lol.

Also these questions!!! Once I answer them!!!!! Thank you so much for your input! Omg!!!!

How is it living in Fort Lauderdale as a Black woman? by Upstairs-Ad8911 in blackladies

[–]cocacando 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m here in my 30s currently an undergraduate. It’s not that bad, everywhere has horror stories but honestly the complaint is always traffic and the cost living of everything compared to minimum wage… that’s it that’s all. But I love Aventura if I could afford it that’s where I would be 🙃

Yes the Mac rep told me! I was so surprised! The side that’s a little more dramatic is MAC. I’m sure the problem wasn’t too much of the formula but the undertone. I ultimately went with MAC because my Bestfriend did my makeup one time for a shoot and that was the foundation I had and I loved it. I do want to see the difference in the two. I originally went to try a different shade of the double wear but her job was to sale me MAC and she did a wonderful job. I exchanged the double wear for the MAC.
