Hi
I'm looking for some advice.. serious advice please!
So back in Oct 16 I finally have enough pennies to train in hair extensions which was something I had always wanted to specialise in since I was about 16.
I'm so passionate about hairdressing and to me I thought it would be a great investment and a good way to be able to work for myself as I have children and haven't been working in a salon for a while due to being crippled by childcare costs!
I have now been advertising for a few months and had nothing I haven't even had people willing to be models (including friends and family!) all I have to reference my work are before and after photos of my block head..
I have paid out a fair amount of money on advertising, insurance, training, colour rings etc. So I don't want to give up this early (been advertising since Dec 2016) but it dawned on me the other day- whenever I see wanted advertisements on Facebook or anywhere else there's literally hundreds of hair extension techs in the area replying to it.. I feel like I've got no hope and that it's a way too oversaturated market in this area?
I've tried to stay positive and really get out there to make a name for myself and gain a good reputation but I never thought it would be this hard! I have one consultation booked for later this month.. apart from that I'm seriously considering giving it all up as I won't be relocating anytime soon
What would you do? Please be kind lol xx
