Today we’d like to introduce you to Bailey Williamson.
Hi Bailey, we’d love for you to start by introducing yourself.
I became an independent hairstylist only 6 months after graduating cosmetology school, which was a very bold move! I knew I needed to create an environment for people to come as they are, to take a break from life for a bit, to relax and accomplish their goals. Over the last 4 years, I have built an amazing clientele, and beautiful friendships. Navigating the beauty industry in an age where social media constantly changes trends hasn’t been easy, but I have such a transparent relationship with anyone who sits in my chair, which makes honest communication a lot more comfortable. My goal is to give you a color and style that is realistic to your lifestyle and features-that is also easy to maintain! Currently, I am inspiring my clients to love not only their hair, but their health! I have introduced my clients to the newest and simplest way to prioritize their wellness, with the only non-injectable bioactive precision peptides on the market! Paying attention to the products you use is an important part of creating a healthier lifestyle. Blending health and wellness with the beauty industry is a unique way that I can show my clients that I care about them as an overall person, not just clients only during their appointment.
I’m sure it wasn’t obstacle-free, but would you say the journey has been fairly smooth so far?
Since I have my own studio, I wear all of the hats. Learning how to balance the tasks of a business owner, while setting boundaries, has been a huge lesson I’ve learned. Creating policies to protect my business, ended up protecting my peace in my personal life. Making people happy is a huge part of my heart, and it’s a really important part of my job too! Now I have policies in place that kept my salon in order, before my day even starts!
Technology has been a great tool for inspiration, but it doesn’t give everyone a cosmetology license. Sometimes, a client may think they know how I need to do their hair, based on what they’ve seen or heard of online. Luckily, I love to educate each and every client on the steps I take to reach their hair goals. product knowledge, health awareness, and color theory are all things that I have prioritized talking about in the salon. This way, everyone is confident and informed on how I make the magic happen!
Thanks – so what else should our readers know about Cultivate Salon & Co.?
Before I moved to South Carolina when I was in middle school, I lived on a farm in Tennessee. We had goats, pot belly pigs, horses, chickens, a donkey, cats, and dogs. My childhood was very much like Charlotte’s Web! I loved taking care of all of the animals and watching them grow up. I saw the beauty of life from a very young age. Being able to spend so much time outside made me appreciate all of the simple things in life. Id love to have land and be able to live out my childhood with farm animals again!
What was your favorite childhood memory?
I am very strategic in how I price my services, but one thing I do to keep them affordable, is using a unique software. SalonSquare creates an individual profile for each client, where I can calculate each ounce of product I use, and keep track of their personalized formula. this way, I am only charging you for the exact amount of products that I use, rather than charging a price parboil. Everyone’s head size is different, so this keeps it fair and calculated!
