We were lucky to catch up with Lindsay Gordon recently and have shared our conversation below.

Lindsay, looking forward to hearing all of your stories today. Owning a business isn’t always glamorous and so most business owners we’ve connected with have shared that on tough days they sometimes wonder what it would have been like to have just had a regular job instead of all the responsibility of running a business. Have you ever felt that way?

Owning you own business is so rewarding and so fulfilling and so much work all at the same time. I would not trade it in and go back to work for someone else ever again. If owning your own business was easy everyone would do it. Not everyone has the mindset to lead or to run a successful business!

Great, appreciate you sharing that with us. Before we ask you to share more of your insights, can you take a moment to introduce yourself and how you got to where you are today to our readers

Since the 7th grade I was the go to girl for styling hair among my friends.

After attending college, the small town girl from Kansas decided to pack up and move to the big city of Dallas to pursue my dreams of doing hair and having my own salon.

Upon completing cosmetology school at Paul Mitchell, I decided to capitalize on my strength of coloring hair and took a position as a color assistant in a high end salon where I perfected my craft in customizing color to compliment each client and installing seamless extensions to achieve a desired look.

Through hard work, discipline and talent I built a strong clientele that has remained loyal and supportive which motivated me to take it to the next level and open my own salon.

I believe that beauty comes from within: If you look good, you feel good, and you exude confidence and positive energy! And because of that, I stand by my motto of “beautiful hair is contagious.”

Any fun sales or marketing stories?

At the previous salon I worked at we sponsored the Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders. I participated on their reality show on CMT: Making the Team. Because of this show and being the sponsor helped me build my clientele quickly and bring new faces to the salon. Once I built my clientele to the fullest I opened my own salon down the street! Still to this day I have a large DCC following which is my “marketing” for now.

Can you tell us about what’s worked well for you in terms of growing your clientele?

I would say the best advice I would give somebody who is trying to build a clientele ,of any sort, is staying consistent, great customer service and doing a great job on the clients you do get so they become return customers
