“Are you working today, Gina?” This question, often asked by my friends, family, and fiancé, might seem straightforward, but the answer is more layered than it appears. As a hairstylist and entrepreneur, my work extends far beyond the salon chair. Let’s dive into what a typical day looks like for me when I’m not directly styling hair.
Yes, there are days dedicated to styling clients, which is a clear “Yes, I’m working.” But even on days without a client in sight, my work is in full swing. In those rare moments of quiet – when my daughter Olivia is settled, household chores are done, and dinner is prepped – I delve into the core of my business.Here’s a glimpse into my daily hustle:
Prepping for Classes: I spend time preparing for upcoming classes in my online programs, ensuring each session is tailored and valuable.
Staying Connected: Responding to emails, DMs, texts, and phone calls is a constant. Communication is key in maintaining relationships and growing my network.
Content Creation: Crafting Instagram Reels and other content to attract my ideal clients is a creative process that helps grow my business.
Engaging My Audience: I create content for weekly emails to my subscribers, keeping them informed and engaged.
Podcasting: Writing and recording podcast episodes allows me to share my knowledge and experiences with a broader audience.
Continuous Learning: I’m always learning from online classes to enhance my business acumen and creativity.
Mentoring: Regular check-ins with members of my online programs, usually via voice text, help me mentor effectively and stay connected.
Summing up my work can be challenging when it’s not directly related to styling hair. However, these behind-the-scenes efforts are what keep my business thriving and evolving.
Curious about how I stay organized, why I ventured into online business, or what I love (and don’t love) about running my business? I’m open to sharing my journey and insights. Feel free to reach out, and let’s discuss the multifaceted world of a hairstylist entrepreneur.
