We’re excited to introduce you to the always interesting and insightful Andy James. We hope you’ll enjoy our conversation with Andy below.

Andy, thanks for taking the time to share your stories with us today Covid has brought about so many changes – has your business model changed?

As scary as Covid was, it has really helped us as hairdressers, make deeper connections with our clients, and really shown us our true potential to operate and find success as a single unit.

Andy, 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?

I’ve been a hairdresser for the past 20 years. Started doin it at 15 years old. It’s definitely a passion of mine. I love the connections I get to make with people while I’m making them feel like their best selves. I’m currently working out of West Hollywood where I specialize in hair color.

What’s worked well for you in terms of a source for new clients?

Honestly the best source for clients is always going to be through referrals. There’s already a sense of trust as well as in person visualization of your work on somebody’s hair.

Can you tell us about a time you’ve had to pivot?

Covid was definitely a very pivotal point in not only my career but the entire world. This is when we realize as hairdressers that We do bring something great to this world. We helped our clients Feel some sort of remnants to normality and make them feel beautiful while we were going to this terrible time.
