We recently connected with Amani Ferguson and have shared our conversation below.
Hi Amani, thanks for joining us today. What’s been the best thing you’ve ever seen (or done yourself) to show a customer that you appreciate them?
I feel as though in my industry alot of stylists have amazing clients and even when they constantly support us I dont see it retaliated . One of the main things i have made it important to do during , before or after appointments , is let them know i I appreciate them , give them discounts and during the holidays or just because im in a good mood i would do gift baskets ! i have seen it make a difference in my clients attitudes and i appreciate that !
Amani, love having you share your insights with us. Before we ask you more questions, maybe you can take a moment to introduce yourself to our readers who might have missed our earlier conversations?
Wow , so i actually got into cosmetology maybe on accident my first passion was always music which i still do do . But cosmetology was never far behind . I always knew i wanted to be in the entertainment industry and as you can see the things ive chosen gave me 1 of 2 ways to get there . I went to aveda institute in chapel hill and completed my hours . From there i worked in a natural hair care salon where i really found that i loved talking and hearing peoples stories . I became their therapist and friend not just a cosmetologist I’ve encouraged more than just hair and make up with them where i now like to use the term self love ambassador where we go over stress free methods and fun crafty things ! I provide the services make up , hair , skincare , waxing and hair products That ive made naturally But i also provide friend advice , love advice , food receipes and favorite shows ! I believe thats what sets me apart from other stylists , i care more about the inner you as well and just happen to make it match the outer you . I go above and beyond when i can ! Ive started my clothing brand and even let my loyal clients get samples ! And travel size hair products ! I absolutely love what i do it is more than money for me , its also my happy place .
We’d love to hear about you met your business partner.
Wow ! I remember the first time i met my best friend and business partner we actually met at zaxbys ! Yes the fast food restaurant ! We automatically clicked we are so similar some days it’s absolutely crazy ! From zaxbys we have had so many innovative ideas but we have actually decided to put them to work ! And its been an amazing journey so far that i can not wait for you all to see and love ! The things we have in store for you is a sight to see !
We often hear about learning lessons – but just as important is unlearning lessons. Have you ever had to unlearn a lesson?
One thing i had to learn was i am not meant for everyone and everyone is not mesnt for me , it was upsetting in the beginning for me to realize but i ultimately accepted it and loved it ! I try to refer them to people that may better fit their needs ! People are everchanging so its absolutely okay for someone not to be for me
