People who invest in the stock market tend to do better with a plan. A clear, consistent investment strategy. Those who go on emotion, who get excited and either dump money in or out of the market based on feelings, tend to lose in the long run.
What does this have to do with your hair? I will tell you.
I have been in the beauty business over thirty years and I still see people making the same mistakes. Like emotional investors, they start calling around desperate the day their hair implodes. If they cannot find a salon that will take them that very day, they sometimes take matters into their own hands.
Out come the scissors. Out comes the box dye that had been sitting in the closet.
How hard can this be, they think to themselves. A little snip here. A few dashes of color there. Maybe some bangs?
Next thing they know, things have gone horribly wrong. Like the emotional investor, they went big on a feeling and now they are dealing with the fallout. Before they know it, they have created a problem that may take hundreds of dollars to fix.
The savvy customer takes a different approach. Like successful investors, they first find an advisor they can trust.
Here at Hair By Joey, we have a team of pro level hairstylists from top tier cities all over the United States. I will not tell you my secrets of finding this level of talent in our little town. But trust me, these guys and gals bring LA, New York and Dallas level designs to Prescott and Prescott Valley people all day long.
Now, once you have your stylist, there are still important things for you to do.
Taking time to find looks you like is key. Great stylists love inspiration pics. It helps us zero in on where your head is at, what you love and what you do not. Great stylists can translate pretty pictures into shapes that work for your face.
Once you have that great cut, spend a few bucks on the products the stylist used to create the look. A great cut or color treated with grocery store shampoo is going to degrade quickly. That little bit of extra expense for the right product, which amounts to about thirty to fifty cents a day, makes a tremendous difference in the way your style works. Spend a little extra, use it daily, and watch the compliments come in.
Lastly, seasoned investors know that investing on a schedule is the fastest way to build consistent wealth. It is no different with hair maintenance.
Talk to your stylist, but in my experience the optimal schedule for trims with a cut you love is about every six weeks for women and every four for men. Root colors need to be done every four to six weeks. Highlights can typically stretch into the eight to twelve week range between touch ups.
If you have found a stylist and a style you love, chances are they are busy. So prebook your next appointment before you leave. Every single time. This will ensure that just when your look starts falling apart, you already have an appointment booked with the advisor you know and trust.
Plan ahead. Like the savvy investor, consider setting aside a little every day for your hair investment. Make it part of your lifestyle.
