Q&A: Summer's Almost Over 🙊

This episode is very dear and important to us, listen in on how we got down and dirty and are about to be the coolest moms in the IE! boss babies are in full effect here!

You walk down the street and there's barbershop after barbershop- with at least 10 or more barbers in there. Every single barbershop is busy-& everyone has their own clientele, everyone is booked and clientele continues to come in and out. Nobody is worried who's busier than who, sometimes clients jump from barber to barber because they want a specific time, maybe they didn't vibe with you (and to be honest.. who wants to sit in a chair and not vibe), maybe you're not a bad barber and you just don't know how to cut their texture hair- it's not worth belittling yourself as to why someone stopped coming to you. Worry about the clientele you do have and let the others go! Do you think INNOUT is worried what a McDonalds across the street is doing? some people prefer convenience over quality- and that's ok! some prefer McDonalds over InNout& THAT'S OK! remember that its not you, and even if it was you .. Who cares!!! if its meant to be they will come back to you. Repeat after me: I am an amazing ________.(enter profession) I am talented. I am unique. I am one of a kind! -in this podcast we talk a bit of "competition", how to balance work and life and how we came up with with Hot stuff esthetics, Vicious hair 13, and Studio 13 Salon.

If you get hating ass comments- you can tell your mama you made it 🙌 but only after you second think your life existence, career and cry it out in the car. Part of owning a business is having a social media platform. Some spread love with it and some spread hate. The right thing can get taken out of context and all of a sudden everyone is a doctor, a hairstylist or a professional chef with their opinion that no one asked for, a hating ass comment at that. We got to just see past those nasty comments and do what we do best. Whatever that is (hopefully positive stuff) because at the end of the day - those negative comments are coming from people who have a miserable life. Try not to feed into or allow their fears and negative spirit affect you. The right people will continue to support your business 🫶
