How The Traveling Hairstylists Began

We know that there are not many resources for stylists currently and being a client based business requires a unique solution.

This is why the industry needed a real resource that genuinely understands the hurdles stylists face when approaching a leave. This is where The Traveling Hair Stylists was born.

So if you have a leave coming up and are interested in learning more about what this looks like for you, then let's chat in the DM's👏

We are so happy to have you🖤

People who work in creative fields tend to have higher chances of experiencing things like anxiety or depression at moments in life.

Specifically for Hairstylists, we pour ourselves into our businesses with several different roles to play. We work with people and their energy all day. At times, we are transforming clients' hair that can bring an emotional experience with it.

And yet, when we are going through heavy times or trying to navigate tough situations, it can be really difficult to do this fully when we still have a business to run.

So whether you need a mental health break for a month, need some time to grieve, or need some time to care for a sick family member.

Whatever that situation might be, we are here to cover your business and care for your clients to keep business going as usual. We can help support you so that you can take the time you need🖤

You know what I think is f*cked up that happens in the hair industry?

When stylists are scared to take longer than a few weeks for their maternity leaves.

When stylists push off a needed surgery because they would have to be away from the chair for a few months.

When stylists feel like they can't take too much time for a dream trip because clients will need in.

This is why we do what we do. Stylists deserve more, and that's exactly what we are trying to bring to the industry by breaking the mold and changing the way we do things.

You work hard and deserve to have better resources to take proper time off without the fear and worry of your business.

The Traveling Hairstylists are here to help🖤

Here's why understanding your experience matters...

Something we like to dive into before we come to cover your clients for your maternity or medical leave is to know the ins and outs of your client experience because we know these things matter to your clients.🙌

As the stylist who is there to care for your clients and space while you are gone, we want to re-create this as much as possible to give a seamless experience that will nurture your clientele.

We are talking about seasonal drinks, snacks, treatments, hot towels, etc.🍷

This all matters because bringing our services into your business is a way to indirectly care for your clients in order to maximize rentention upon your return, and this is our ultimate goal for you!

We are so excited to welcome Beth to the Traveling Hair Stylists team👏

Beth is starting a new adventure on the road, traveling and exploring while living in an RV🚌

She brings 20+ years of experience with her and especially excels at blonding, lived-in color, and extensions. She loves meeting new people and looking forward to experiencing new places.

We are so happy to have her🖤

》PART 13《

The purpose of this is to give a glimpse of what it is like working and running the business of The Traveling Hair Stylists.

This is the start of a new contract and how it feels to get started in a new space with new clients. Stay for the end to get a sneak peek into something new that is in the works👀

Let me know what you want to see more of below⬇️⬇️

We typically work with all kinds of suite stylists like Sola, Phenix, or even individual leased spaces.

But what we have also been seeing a lot of is home based salons.

This isn't what you might be thinking of, these are built out, well designed, spacious entities that are located on the stylists' home property but still private.

Honestly, we love working with these type of stylists, and they specifically need help like ours to care for their clients during their leaves.

I think it's fascinating to see more and more stylists take this career path and do it well.

I'm curious if you all are seeing this yet or have even considered building something like this for yourself?

Our services are truly to support the stylist and their businesses that they have worked hard for.

DM us with any questions you have🖤

There's a different energy when you hire and work with someone who is specifically there to support and care for your clients while you are on leave versus referring them out to other stylists.

Why?

Because we have taken the time to understand your business, adapt to your techniques with our own flair, of course, and we have access to their formulas and hair history.

We aren't trying to make them our own or have them crunch into an already busy schedule.

We want to provide a seamless experience that they already know and love. It's all about giving our best to support your business while you are out😊

Let's face it, it's scary to think about planning for a maternity leave when you have built a booked and busy business.

So what happens instead is that stylists take the minimum amount of time and continue to play receptionist during their entire leave.

Almost every time I hear stylists who did this very thing say how much they regretted it. They just didn't know there was another choice.

Hiring our services allows you to take as much time as you would like off because we come to your space, care for your clientele, and cover your rent. Think of it like hiring a sub for your business that follows your guidance for your clients.

This allows everything to continue to flow in your business as if there were no interruptions. We want to support you and give you the time to savor every little moment on your leave.

We got your business covered😉

15 years ago, I received my cosmetology license✨️🖤

I was only a high school student when I went to state boards and started in the salon soon after. I've done so much in this industry from working on photo sets, opening a suite, working with a team, creating looks for local shows, building a wonderful clientele, and now running my dream business of The Traveling Hair Stylists.

I love what I do, and I couldn't imagine doing anything else. This business is my way of giving back to this industry, so here's to 15 years🥂

P.S. make sure to scroll to see my the photo that was taken for my first license, it was 2011 guys😅

The purpose of this is to give a glimpse of what it is like working and running the business of The Traveling Hair Stylists.

This has been a very different month than usual because I wasn't in the salon at all! It was so filled with lots of behind the scenes, new offers, and so much growth and inquiries flowing in which is so exciting for the team and I!

Our time in Colorado has come to an end and it was time to pack everything up and head back to the east coast to North Carolina where I will be starting at the new salon very soon so stay tuned!

Let me know what you want to see more of below⬇️⬇️

Our services of caring for the clients of the stylists going on a leave is the biggest way to nurture that clientele indirectly.

Your clients continue to see you and trust you, so making sure to set them up while you are away is important. Setting them up with services like ours gives them as much of an extension of you as possible because of how adaptable we become to your business.

And just like this client said, it gives you the peace of mind to have 1 stylist caring for them in the same place they already know and love because we travel directly to your space.

It's also so fun to see how clients get excited to learn more about how we do what we do😁

DM us with any questions you might have!

Hiring our services to cover your leave while you are out of the salon is a way to support you and your clients🙌

It's a way to really nurture your clients to ensure they are taken care of because we are traveling directly to you and your space to do so. We are there solely for your clients so that they don't have to get used to a whole new space and system.

Not only that, but because of the prep we do with you, your clients can receive their "usual" in the most seamless way possible.

Reach out to us in the DM's with any questions you have!

Time is truly the best gift we can ask for✨️

By hiring The Traveling Hair Stylists to cover your leave, not only are you getting true support, but you are also getting time.

So many stylists in this industry have taken short or non-existent maternity and medical leaves because they felt that it would cost them their business and scared to lose clients.

We solve this problem by retaining your clientele, covering your rent, and maintaining your space so that you can take as much time as you need.

In my opinion, that's the best gift we give🖤

You deserve to take as much time as you need and want, but many stylists feel the stress of what that could mean for their business upon returning.

Yes, clients don't always stay with you forever, but unfortunately, many stylists can experience significant loss in their clientele after taking time off, like maternity or a medical leave.

This is the biggest way we can help you at The Traveling Hair Stylists by maximizing rentention🎉

We travel directly to you, care for your clientele, and maintain your business for however long you need. We aren't there to poach clients because we come from all over the country. We are purely there to support you and all stylists who are taking time off from behind the chair🙌

If you are curious about how this all works, drop your questions in the DM's!

This is what stylists have been seeking when it comes to taking any form of leave in the salon.

Hiring us means having an experienced stylist travel directly to you to cover not only your clients but also your rent while you are out. This ensures that your clients are being taken care of and maximizing your business upon your return.

This can ultimately help stylists and salon in many different and unique ways, just like we listed above.🙌

We are a team of stylists who love to travel, enjoy the flexibility of this lifestyle, and are fulfilled to give back to our industry in a way that can directly impact stylists while on leave.

DM us if you are currently planning for a salon leave!

#travelinghairstylists #stylistonthego #hairstylistcommunity

This can be one of the biggest stresses for any stylist who is going out on a leave is how am I going to afford my rent while I'm gone.

Even if you are offered a few weeks free of rent for maternity or medical leave, most salons aren't able to cover you for a full 8, 10, or 12 weeks of time.

And this is even IF you are given any time at all.

So our solution as The Traveling Hair Stylists is our service of traveling directly to you and your space to not only care for your clients but also cover 100% of your rent.

We are there to maximize rentention because we aren't local to you, and we are there to give financial support because we are doing business as usual🤌

Don't hesitate to reach out to us in the DM's

Just some of my vulnerable Sunday thoughts🖤

I saw all these things above while having so much gratitude for the current place I am in and growing something that I feel is so special for the industry.

Growth and lessons are inevitable, and I'm glad to always be in a state of learning.

Hiring the Traveling Hair Stylists is a way for you to temporarily have someone running your business so that you can completely enjoy your maternity leave and new little one!🖤

We come directly to you and care for your clients, we take care of your space, and we pay for your rent while you are gone.

We also handle the little things like handling client communications, getting you updated with your clients as needed, and also gearing them up for your return. 🙌

There aren't many instances where you can truly disconnect from your business to be 100% present in your leave, but having us there can give you the peace of mind to do exactly that!

This also makes planning for your maternity leave so much easier and stress free! So make sure to save this post if you plan on taking a leave soon!

We are so excited to welcome Patrick to the Traveling Hairstylists team!👏

Patrick is currently based out of Colorado with over 10 years of experience with both hair and makeup.

We can't wait for Patrick to bring his skills of precision cutting, coloring, and true artistry to future contracts. With salon expertise and production set experience, he is truly all about enhancing your appearance so you feel your best.

Welcome to the team Patrick!

Once you learn more about everything we do and care for when we cover for a stylists maternity, medical, or personal leave, then you would probably wonder this same thing.

"This is a no-brainer, so why wouldn't someone not hire us?"

There is mainly one answer to this, and that is that you are still building. We focus on caring for your clients. We aren't there to bring you new clients.

So if you are newer in the industry or still establishing yourself, then we may not be the answer for you. However, we can still guide you with strategies to navigate your leave and help you not feel alone.

But for the established stylists feeling the fear of taking time away from a decently full clientele that you have worked hard to build, we are here for you!👏

#travelhairstylist #hairstylistcommunity

We know how hard you have worked to open that space up, curate the details that matter, and build the clientele.

We see the dedication.

This is why it's important that we preserve it exactly how it should be. How your clients expect it to be. We truly care, and that in itself is why The Traveling Hairstylists is so different because we aren't there to take your clients or space. Only nurture it!

If you are out on a medical/maternity/travel leave, then trusting someone with your space and to care for your clients when you're gone is major.

There is no need to feel that here. In fact, we want you to come back to it better than ever and filled with grateful energy✨️

👉Make sure to share with a stylist friend who might need it!
