Many experienced hairdresser think that the only answer to earning more money and having more freedom is to go self employed but they soon find out this isnβt always the reality of what happens!
You may have more instant cash available as payments come in direct to you more frequently than with employed, because those employed usually get paid once or twice a month, but the reality is many self employed stylists end up here:
- Not budgeting your cash flow
- Overspending without really understanding your earnings
- Getting hit with Tax bills you canβt afford
- Stressed doing your own paper work , accounts , stock orders , marketing
- The pressure of finding clients to build your own column
- The stress of seeing white space knowing you donβt get paid during these hours
- Finding it difficult to get credit or loans (for example a mortgage) as you donβt have secure predictable income.
Then thereβs the time factor!!
You go self employed with the dream of being your own boss to enjoy more freedom BUT the opposite more often than not happens!
You need the cash so you start to take appointments at times that suit your client rather than you, so you can end up
- working even more nights than before
- answering enquiries into the small hours
Then thereβs the overlooked things you didnβt think of likeβ¦
You donβt get paid for holidays so most self employed end up taking LESS holidays than their employed peers enjoy .
Then often the time off you do get is Spent
- Calling clients back
- Managing your diary
- Stock ordering
- Editing social images and videos in canva for hours at a time
- Trawling industry groups to get advice (which usually comes from peers who have nothing more than their opinion rather than business expertise )
- Spending your free time jumping from free course to free course getting morsels of info to try to grow your business
Can you also relate to this?
You want to do more training but you donβt have the money to invest so your skills can gradually fade without you even realising.
You can become scared to increase your prices so as time goes on your pay rises less while your expenses grow more than ever.
Your earnings can grow LESS year to year than that of employed stylists whose minimum wage thresholds have grown to record highs year to year recently.
You can often miss the unique team vibe that comes from the energy of an employee team that gels together.
The self employed dream can quickly become exhausting, especially when you look at the reality of what you earned after paying your taxes and rapidly growing expenses, as itβs often not as much as you dreamed .
But what if I told you there is another way?
A NEW way where you get the benefit of both employed AND self employed combined ?
Iβm Caroline Sanderson owner and director of Ego Hair Design in Inverness Scotland and before I tell you about this NEW way that is going to change our industry and your earning and freedom potential, let me introduce myself.
Iβve experienced it all
Iβve been an employee hairdresser and a self employed chair renter hairdresser.
And as a Salon owner of 20 years Iβve rented chairs only, then mixed chair rent with employment, and I now exclusively employ my team. So Iβve seen and done it all!
I know Salon Business inside out
Iβm Creative Head Magazines most wanted business thinker legend winner and Iβm a consultant to thousands of salon business owners of all shapes and sizes so I have the knowledge and expertise to share . Iβm also about to collect my Hall of Fame Award for the British Hairdressing Awards this year for winning Scottish Hairdresser of the Year 3 times.
But thatβs enough about me,
Let me explain how the NEW model works which I call β The Employed Entrepreneur Model
This is, in my opinion, the new way forward for those hairdressers with the ambition of making more money and enjoying more time freedom without having to step into the often insecure space of self employment.
Becoming an employed entrepreneur gives you the benefits of:
- Paid holidays
- Paid Pension Contributions
- Paid Training
- Paid tax and NI contributions as you go
- Stronger credit position being in secure employment
- Paid support team around you like assistants , front of house and mentors
- Paid stock/ equipment supplied
- Paid marketing to build your reputation and positioning
- Paid opportunities to enter awards and participate in photoshoots ( paid by the company )
- Paid done for you marketing to fill your column and build you as an expert
You do not need to worry about
- Accounts
- Tax returns
- Managing Stock
- Booking appointments
- Taking your own bills
- Dealing with client enquires
- Marketing and design
- Becoming stagnant in your skills
Now hereβs where it gets even better
You can enjoy the perks of the self employed by choosing the time and money you want , YOU are in control except you get expert support to help you achieve it.
There are:
- NO earnings cap
- NO minimum hours you must work , itβs your choice.
Want to work 3,4 or 5 days? You can.
Want to work around school hours? You can
Want to work 6 days at times you want to earn more? You can
Want to work longer hours in fewer days? You can
You also get a host of other perks like 6 weeks paid holidays a year which includes:
- Your birthday off GUARANTEED or double time if you want to work it
- A week off during Christmas / New year holidays GUARANTEED
- Christmas Eve off every year GUARANTEED
(you can read more of the perks below)
Then thereβs the earnings potential WOW! You get what I call an earnings GUARANTEE
You get a basic rate while you grow your earnings so you have the security of never dipping below it.
But we donβt want you earning basic, We want to help you step into your entrepreneur shoes to earn your DREAM EARNINGS!
Do you want to earn Β£30k, Β£40k , Β£50k?
Heck even Β£80-100k?
We advise you and support you on your path to making your dream income become a reality.
Imagine knowing that as a minimum earnings guarantee where you can make Β£23,500, but also have a path and a plan that is guaranteed to make you Β£30,000+ and beyond if you execute the plan.
Self employment CANT offer you an earnings guarantee as a security security blanket…
WE CAN!
