Product Knowledge Introduction
This education was specifically created for aspiring, newer, or building bridal hairstylists as we cover foundational knowledge and skills. However, there is also a lot of business information that any bridal hairstylist may find helpful!
After you enroll and create a Thinkific account for free, you'll need a digital device (computer or tablet). You'll login to the Thinkific platform where this education is hosted to access content - it will keep track of your progress as you go.
You get LIFETIME ACCESS to The Stylist Startup and any education/resources you purchase!! And this also means access to any updated versions that are uploaded here.
It is completely self-paced with lifetimes access - so you can take as long or as little time as you need to complete it! It's a lot of information and learning, so feel free to take your time and/or come back to it anytime. You can navigate the modules however makes sense for you, but I do suggest moving in the order they're presented and really taking the time to take notes, study, and practice to get the most out of it!
At this time, you will not receive either. This education does not apply to any other program/education. Completion is done on your own time and though you won't have a certificate, you'll still have SO much knowledge!
Of course, I hope you're happy with the content. But unfortunately due to the digital, instant access of the education, returns or exchanges aren't possible. There is a breakdown of the content above, as well as who it's for, to see if it's a good fit before purchasing and if you have any questions at all, please don't hesitate to reach out [email protected]. If there is an issue with accessing anything within the education, please let me know and we can troubleshoot.
At this time, the education mostly applies to the career or bridal hairstyling, regardless of location. However, the first section "Business Foundations" outline US (specifically California) requirements and laws for schooling, licensing, insurance, working structures, and taxes so this section may not apply to all locations.
Learning how to establish an entire business can definitely feel like a lot! If you're wanting more in-depth support or help with specific topics, please reach out or setup a virtual business or hairstyling session (found with all the other education and resources). I'd love to help!!
A 1.5 hour individual virtual meet and chat to review and walkthrough any business topics for your hairstyling business!
A 2.5 hour individual virtual meet and chat to walkthrough hairstyling techniques and one chosen full hairstyle to elevate your hairstyling skills!
A 3.5 hour individual in studio business and/or hands-on styling session to walkthrough business questions as well as hairstyling techniques and one chosen full hairstyle to elevate your skills! Will be held at my studio in Solano County, CA.
