At back-to-school time, young clients come into the salon wanting a fresh
hair cut or cool
long-hair style and, unlike your other guests, they may be hoping that the new look helps them appear
older! You probably have clients entering high school, going off to their freshman year at college or, for the first time, starting fall at a job instead of in school. A little sophistication may be in order.
Even just from the ads for “The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants 2” you can tell that the four actresses have a wisdom about them that was missing in the first “Pants” movie. They’re supposed to be college-age girls, and that’s a stage that runs the gamut of hair. A lot of girls want to keep their hair long, but offering them some texture options, grown-up fringe or
subtle, less chunky highlights may hit the mark of their increasing sense of maturity.
I overheard a mid-20s woman complain about the excessive number of photos some Facebook members are posting of their babies.
Their babies? Wow, time flies. These young moms are at that next stage—fitting into the world of work and motherhood while still holding on to their youthfulness. You can help them transition to a hair cut that bridges the gap between girl and ma’am. And just like the four sharers of the “Traveling Pants,” every client has a unique hair texture, lifestyle and twist on what looking great at that age means for her.
