What you can do better?
Visit the website of Darling Hair Extensions and you will notice they have given their website a better look. In 2016 we noticed they did not keep their blog up to date. But they read our comment and accepted the challenge and now they post new articles on a more regular basis. If you want to share the best information and news about hair and beauty with your clients, make sure you have a regular update of your blog and product descriptions.
Another thing to think of is the product info. Be transparent and share price info about the hair extensions, shipping conditions and all the background you can share about the origin of the hair, the donors if you sell human hair extensions or about the fiber you use if you sell synthetic.
Do not forget to place your client in the middle of your selling process and make sure you have a return policy that proofs you are 100% confident about the quality of your hair extensions and that tells the customer do not worry, if you are not happy, we will accept your return.

Hi Faridah, a very smart way to invest in yourself. Education and training are key for a successful hair extensions business owner. I would put my first focus on the beauty and hair dressing courses. In the meantime, to hit the ground running, I recommend to start to build your network of potential clients. You can give the launch of your business a boost if you have say 100+ people who know about your plans before you open your store. Start talking hair and share business cards today. Note their email address and keep them updated through your own newsletter about hair. A small investment with a huge potential.Let me know about your newsletter I will sign up!
Thanks so much but will you mind if you contact me through email so that I can learn more, my email is Faridahmollie@gmail.com
