@cutzbykeegz: 3 things I wish I knew before becoming a barber 1. Being good at cutting hair isn't enough. You also have to learn how to build a clientele, market yourself, and run a business. 2. Your first year is going to be humbling. You're going to mess up. You're going to get rejected. You're going to question yourself. Keep going. 3. Your clients are your business. Treat every person in your chair like they're your most important client. One great experience can turn into years of loyalty. You can't start at the top. You just have to stay consistent long enough to get there.
