And I think that's like the thing is I want people to know that like you can still care for people and you can you're not going to turn into this like cold, bitter, like stay away from me crusty person when you learn boundaries.

Hi, this is Jacob Kahn.

This is the Platinum Giraff and you're listening to the Hair Game podcast.

Hey, Lil'm Eric Taylor. I want to mention something that I'm seeing in the industry right now as well as some other service industries, but particularly ours.

This might be the best time in a long time for getting new clients.

The beauty professionals who are working right now are the busiest that I've seen in a long time for getting new clients. The beauty professionals who are working

right now are the busiest that I've seen in a long time. I think it's a combination of the pent-up

demand for beauty services as clients increasingly are getting vaccinated and getting comfortable

with getting out. More and more people are getting back to the office. More are traveling

and they want to look

their best. It's a combination of that and the number of beauty professionals who are choosing

to work less right now. I've never seen so many people in our industry on vacation.

There were stimulus checks, PPP, there's juice unemployment that many are still collecting

that make it easier to do that.

I've had a lot of conversations in the last several of weeks with clients who are struggling to get in to get services done.

And when they do, they're treated like an inconvenience.

If you're a hairdresser who's willing to put in the effort right now, you can build a book that could be a money machine

for you for many years to come.

Lead with customer service.
