My Journey: From Struggles to Success
Struggling to Stand Out
When I started my career, I worked tirelessly to improve my skills, but I constantly felt invisible in a crowded and competitive industry.
- Clients didn’t value my work, and I rarely felt appreciated.
- I found myself chasing every client, offering discounts to keep them, yet still feeling stuck and unfulfilled.
That’s when I made a pivotal decision to specialize. I became a blonde balayage specialist and developed advanced techniques to solve big client problems, like taking hair from dark to blonde in one session without damage or brassiness. This specialization set me apart and allowed me to create stunning transformations my clients couldn’t find anywhere else.
Challenges as an Immigrant Hairstylist
When I moved to Australia, the challenges became even greater:
- I struggled to learn English and improve my hairdressing skills.
- Clients didn’t trust me because my skills felt average, and I had nothing unique to offer.
Then, one day, my son said, “Mum, I hate school. I don’t want to go to school. Can I stay home with you?” That was a life-changing moment for me.
I realized I needed to create a career that allowed me to work less, earn more, and support my son so he wouldn’t feel like he was struggling.
The Moment Everything Changed
One piece of advice changed everything for me:
“If you want to increase revenue, work less, and earn more, you need to solve big problems for clients and charge premium prices.”
I started listening to my clients and paying attention to their biggest frustrations:
- “I hate my hair! It always turns brassy after a few washes.”
- “The harsh lines are so hard to manage, and my hair feels dry and damaged no matter what I do.”
- One client said, “I’ve been to six salons, and no one can take my hair from dark to blonde in one session. They all said it’s impossible. I don’t have time for multiple appointments—I just want it done before my holiday.”
I realized these were the problems I needed to solve. I became passionate about finding solutions that would not only transform my clients’ hair but also their confidence.
My Solution
Through research, trial, and dedication, I developed a method that:
- Takes hair from dark to blonde in one session without damage or brassiness.
- Creates creamy, low-maintenance blonde tones with soft, natural-looking lines.
- Ensures hair stays beautiful even if clients only use purple shampoo once or twice a month.
This method turned me into a blonde specialist. My boss was thrilled, and I began earning $300 a day plus bonuses.
Transforming My Business
As my skills grew, so did my confidence. I made bold decisions to transform my business and life:
- I Focused on Premium Services: I stopped offering general services and dedicated myself to high-value transformations that made a real impact.
- I Increased My Prices: I switched to charging hourly instead of by service, allowing me to reach my income goals more easily.
- I Worked Smarter, Not Harder: I started working just three days a week while earning more than ever before.
This transformation gave me the freedom to:
- Spend quality time with my kids.
- Attend every school activity and prioritize what mattered most in my life.
- Create a sustainable, fulfilling career that aligned with my values.
