Showcase Your Skills

Show all ages so people know you can service both genders and all ages. Think about what sets you apart and show that off.
Make it Personal
It’s hard not to get personal with someone who is a regular client and sitting in your chair every few weeks. You get to know the ins and outs of their lives and the relationship turns from a professional relationship to one that is more personal in nature. Is your client coming in for an awesome, updated back to school ‘do? Post a pic (with their permission) wishing them best of luck on their first day back to school. Feeling really grateful for your clients? Let them feel the love by posting what amazing clients you have and how you are thankful for them each and every day.
Share Useful Info
Your clients look at you because you are the expert. You surely have tips and trick that could help them maintain their style, make a blowout last longer, or keep their hair healthy. Share those fun little tidbits off and on. You want to give people something of value so that they stay engaged with your posts. This is a great way to do that.
Brag a Little (or a lot!)
Do you have some clients that you’ve obtained shining testimonials from? With their permission, share those occasionally on your page. People want to believe you when you say how wonderful you are and show off your skills, but they really will take the word of others so share testimonials now and again.
