In episode 7 of The Chair-apist, I'm talking with Ben White of Fancy Hairdressers about the online education they offer, their shears, and life on the road. Fancy Hairdressers is an online education platform that offers hair styling, cutting, and coloring courses.

Figuring out social media can be daunting, and it's easy to feel like you're already behind if you haven't started.

It can feel like you need to be on every platform, but that's not the case. You just need to find the ones that are a good fit for your business.

In this episode of the podcast, we cover how to figure out which platforms are a good fit for your business, and how to start using them effectively.

You've been told that in order to be successful online, you need to use all the different social media platforms. But what if you're just not good at using some of those platforms?

We all know that being a hairstylist is hard work. Your days are long and exhausting between clients, color, cuts, and product education. Not to mention trying to stay on top of all of your every day, life responsibilities. 

Working in a big salon can be great for business, but it also comes with a lot of restrictions.

You may be limited on the days and times you can work, or you might not have control over your schedule. Moving to a suite salon could be the answer.

Working in an industry that is so focused on work, can tend to breed a toxic work environment.

We also chat about current areas of legislation affecting the hair and beauty industry.

Shears are actually the cornerstone of the hair industry, and people don't know it. No one talks about what's a good shear. No one talks about what’s a bad shear and no one talks about how to maintain it.
