Recommend you introduce yourself to successful salons in your area. Ask questions of the salon owners on their experience in building their clientele. You may find a salon that reflects the type of clients you are looking for, hair stylists that you can learn from and experience for your resume.
This was super helpful, thank you!

Post your work on social media - If you can't afford to hire models for your work, maybe do a free service with an exchange for photos as payment. Hope this helps!
Thank you, Tania for the advice.

Hi Taryn!
My advice is to get on social media as much as you can. Post your talents and prices, I personally am more likely to reach out if I see a price up front. Maybe you can work with a photographer in the area - family, boudoir, senior pictures, etc. Find events that people like to get their hair done for and post your services physically at those places if you can, and online. Maybe you can make a flyer or business cards to take around and share your business? Hope something helps!
