We’re going to be straight with you: confidence is one of the most common things we see holding new stylists back. Not skill. Not talent. Confidence.

And here’s what makes it tricky. You can be overconfident, or you can be not confident enough. Both get in the way. What you’re looking for is that grounded, growing confidence that comes from doing the actual work. Here’s how to build it.

Confidence comes from repetition, not feelings

The more you work behind the chair, the more confident you get. It really is that simple. 

The more hours you put in, the more nights and weekends you work, the more clients you see, that’s where confidence comes from. Each head of hair is different, and that’s where you learn.

Take every walk-in. Take every client you can possibly get. Say yes whenever someone needs a bang trim, an eyebrow wax, anything, be the first one to step up and say yes. That’s how you build your confidence and your clientele at the same time.
