KEY TAKEAWAYS:

Ivis learned his work ethic from his father, and that enabled him to build his career.
By focusing on work that other people in the salon did not want to do, Ivis got clients quickly, & those clients sent him their relatives & friends!
RISING STYLISTS: Change your mindset from thinking about assisting at a salon to honing in on the foundations. Learn to do good shampoos and connect with the customer so they know and trust you. They may end up in your chair & give you incredible tips!
Only a small amount of people will be able to build a clientele right out of school. Go to a salon, get further training, and build a book there.
Becoming a stage educator before social media required being in the "in-crowd." Now, you have to build a social media following & produce good content
SALON OWNERS: a lot of stylists leave salons because they feel like they stopped growing, not necessarily b/c of money
If it's all about money & not learning or growing in other ways, the stylists will keep needing more & more until you cannot provide. Then, they'll leave for the money.
