Hair Tattooing

Get your trimmer out and get ready. Hair tattooing is becoming more popular every day. If you are not doing it now, you will. If you are already doing a bit of it, you are an early adopter here in the U.S. You are leading the pack. Get your practice in now and be prepared for the added traffic, sales and new clients it will bring. Just like the ability to cut a strong flattop, crisp, clean and creative trimmer design work will bring new client referrals. My suggestions would be to start simple and work your way t more intricate designs. Start with lines and curves. Work your way up to geometric designs. Be prepared to make the jump to sports team logos, cartoon characters and much more intricate designs. Be ready at the cash register too. Be prepared to charge additionally for this frequently time consuming add-on service. Do not be shy about the $. Use a realistic reflection of the value of your time and efforts. At the Salon international show I described the hair tattooing we were doing on stage as motivational and inspirational. The designs I was creating were motivational, that is to say that show attendees would see me working on a design and say to themselves, “Hey, I can do that”. MK and Kevin’s work was more inspirational, that is to say, an attendee would look at the design work they were doing and say, “some day I MIGHT be able to do that!” practice is the key, along with a host of tricks of the trade that MK was sharing from the platform. I was listening. I cane home both motivated and inspired and have created a few very cool designs in the last 2 weeks.
