  • Loved Moselys episode.

    He always inspires me! So happy you featured him again.

    I have to say. I always find that the hair overseas is unimpressive. However. I recently went to Spain and I found that there was a lot of gorgeous styles. Both color and cut. Less balayage. More reds and platinums. Cute bobs and pixies.

    Just had to let you know.

Ep. 439 • Unlock the Data Behind the Beauty Industry w/Alain Audet
Q: Like what is the benefit of the KIM Report to someone?
The KIM Report gives a monthly, standardized view of industry metrics—sales, visits, pricing, and service mix—across cohorts and regions, helping manufacturers, distributors, and salons understand trends, diagnose performance, and plan inventory and promotions with greater confidence.
HIGHLIGHTS • Building a Clientele in the Digital Age w/Kristyn Hamilton
Q: Why was it easy for you to build and keep a clientele versus it might not be so easy for others? What can you tell them that can help them build and keep a clientele?
Kristen explains that most of her clientele came from Instagram through consistent posting, including before/after photos and professional-quality images, plus engaging content. Promotions at another salon helped bring in clients, and diligent prebooking kept clients returning. She emphasizes staying active on social media, seeking content ideas constantly, and nurturing client relationships to sustain bookings.
Ep. 435 • Building a Clientele in the Digital Age w/Kristyn Hamilton
Q: What would you change about the industry if you could wave a wand?
She would address the pervasive hate and stigma around hairstylists charging fair prices, arguing that professionals should be paid what they're worth given the time, skill, and expenses involved.
Ep. 435 • Building a Clientele in the Digital Age w/Kristyn Hamilton
Q: What role do hashtags and local searches play in your strategy?
Local hashtags like Baton Rouge Hair Stylist and Louisiana Hair help attract nearby clients who search for stylists in the area, reinforcing that a moderate follower count can still drive meaningful business.

Q: What ongoing practices help you keep clients coming back?
