Hello! My name is Melanie Wesley and welcome to The Salon Social Podcast!
In this episode of Salon Social Podcast, I have a conversation with Mario McDowell, a senior hairstylist and platform artist with over 20 years of experience and fun fact , he was one of my many instructors at the @Aveda.institute.atlanta !
In this episode we discuss the importance of client experience in the salon industry and how beauty schools often focus more on technical skills than on the business aspect.
Mario emphasizes the need for hairstylists to find their own niche and make clients feel special.
We also discuss the challenges and rewards of being a hairstylist, including the importance of passion, dedication, and financial planning. Mario shares his own journey in the industry and offers valuable insights for aspiring hairstylists.
