Part of being successful in a career in cosmetology is networking. How can people use your services if they don’t know you? We teach our students all about marketing themselves and marketing their services.

Students will learn how they can take advantage of all TSPA Evansville has to offer. You can get involved with campus events to help get your name out there and find the private salon of your dreams.

Students will also learn about booking and prescribing products as they go through all 4 levels of our top-notch curriculum. Our goal here is for our students to leave TSPA Evansville ready to run a business. And, there is much more to that than just providing beauty services.

We’ve worked with Redken to make sure you get everything you need to graduate salon ready!

Grow and Handle Your Book of Business

Getting clients is only one-half of the story. Keeping them is another. We teach our students cutting-edge marketing strategies to help grow their salons. We also teach them everything they need to know to keep customers coming back for more.

It takes more than a great haircut or beauty treatment to keep recurring clients happy. Learn all that and more as we teach you “your book of business 101“.

Beauty for the Modern Age

The beauty landscape is constantly changing. And, unlike most industries, it’s changing on multiple fronts. New hairstyles and treatments are constantly coming out.

Our instructors are trained in the latest styles and trends to help you make your mark in the industry right after graduation.

Technology is also changing the way the beauty industry works. Some of the biggest names in the industry like Huda and Sephora have started from humble beginnings in the “beauty blogosphere”. You’ll have the opportunity to learn alternate avenues in the beauty industry you may not have thought of.

Our goal is to help you conceptualize your role within our amazing industry. We’re going to get you ready for the beauty revolution!

Expanding on the critical topic of getting to know your client includes unpacking a fascinating list of soft skills that you can develop to grow within your chosen field. Soft skills are patterns of behavior that dictate how you deal with people and pressure. Many of these highlighted below can propel your beauty career to new heights if you diligently pursue them.

Superior Communication

Active listening means being engaged and present with your client. It involves hearing what they are saying, but also what they’re not saying. Pay attention to body language, voice tone, eye contact, and word choice. These cues come together to give you a thorough understanding of who they are and what they want. 

In the same way, communication from your side during an appointment, such as telling your client what you’re doing and why, tends to build trust and rapport. It also positions you as an authority in your field and a consummate professional.

This makes a beauty consultation meaningful and helps you to deliver exactly what your client wants.

Constant Learning

The beauty industry moves quickly and trends shift swiftly. With new products and techniques becoming available almost daily, it pays to embrace a mission of lifetime learning. Advanced training to upskill, thoroughly understand and prescribe products, and expand your beauty portfolio makes you valuable to your clients and your team.

Being the best you is to focus on continual growth and learning. Take time to join and participate in courses that challenge you, meet like-minded people, and share your knowledge and insights. 

Personal Management

Here are soft skills that are not industry-specific but that make you an invaluable team member and the best in your field:

  • Excellent time management 
  • Honesty and transparency
  • Adaptability
  • Organization
  • Collaboration
  • Problem-solving

Marketing Your Business

You may offer the finest beauty services in your area, but if nobody knows about you, then you’re winking in the dark, so to speak.

Successful marketing entails knowing your audience and creating regular, engaging content to pique their interest. Today’s host of social platforms offer an excellent way to build your brand and display your personality in a fun, appealing, and professional way. 

The Best Career Starts Here

Beauty is simply the best career for artists who are keenly focused on changing their clients’ lives for the better, and who want to make a tangible difference to people.

Whether you’re new to the beauty industry or you’re considering upskilling yourself, you’ll agree that it all starts with a proper training foundation with a reputable academy. TSPA programs prepare students for much more than passing state boards. In addition to the salon training that we offer, we also provide the business and marketing skills that top salons and spas are looking for.
