Ways to advertise your hair stylist locally.
1) You need to create your cooperate identity with a custom embroidery company. Create your logo and business name on your cooperate apparel.
2) Put the logo on your Auto
3) Make up business cards and hand them out. Every time you see someone you know hand several of them out. When you give people your business card, always give them more than one and ask them to give them to their friends/coworkers, etc. Print up flyers and post them on public boards if there are any near you and post in a forums that related to your location if there are any!
4) The key for this kind of business is word-of-mouth. Think of some clever ways to encourage your existing clients to tell people about you. Perhaps you could start with a friend or family member to be one of your ';spokesperson';. I owned a convenience store for 10 years and a lot of business deals started in the checkout line by strangers. Tell everyone about you and ask if they know anyone that could use your service. Ask for a referral from an existing client
5) Start a website as a way to advertise you. Let your website work for you and your clients swap links. When making your own web site do some research on how to optimize your site so that you get a good ranking with a natural search. You do this by embedding smart key words. Your website could show your community involvement and you could have questions and answers on the site.
6) Look for websites that you can advertise for free. Advertise in the Yahoo local. Find free on-line classified web sites for your community. Typically the local chamber of commerce will offer such a service. You can advertise here for free: http://www.hits2u.com/?149843

Here is a comprehensive list of Classifieds http://answers.yahoo.com/question/?qid=2鈥?/a>Tips on increasing business as a hair stylist or getting freelance work while looking for a career change?
As a hair stylist, you must hear all of your clients health woes. To pick up additional income through your job, you could sell Himalayan GoChi Juice. You can do this in a salon because it is mostly by-appointment-only. You will feel renewed because your clients will come back and thank you for making their lives better!
This just might give you that little extra incentive - helping others feel better.
you can do a ';refer a friend'; promo in which you give existing customers deals for referring friends to you. Maybe 50% off of next service.
Go to area businesses and barter with them. You advertise their store at your place and vise versa. They scratch your back and you'll scratch theirs.
Look for local pages where you can advertise for free or really cheap. Yahoo Local for instance is a good place to start.
