We recently connected with Madison Sizemore and have shared our conversation below.
Madison, looking forward to hearing all of your stories today. We’d love to go back in time and hear the story of how you came up with the name of your brand?
This is one of my favorite stories to tell. My brand name CactusCoolHair originated from being raised in the desert. I am from Arizona and one of the drinks we have out there is called Cactus Cooler. It’s a fruity soda. One day I was drinking it and I was like hmmm I love this name. It’s so unique and then it just clicked. CactusCoolHair was invented.
Awesome – so before we get into the rest of our questions, can you briefly introduce yourself to our readers.
Before doing hair I was in the military. Shortly after joining I knew this wasn’t the career field for me. I was grateful for the experience but saw a different future. I then decided I wanted to go to hair school because I have always wanted to be a mom. So I knew I needed a job that could give me flexible hours. Once I joined the industry my eyes opened to the limitless possibilities of this field. I then realized I wanted to be more than a hairstylist. I wanted to be a business owner, an educator, a content creator etc. and I want to be big. This is what my goal still is because I am no where near my dreams yet.
What’s been the most effective strategy for growing your clientele?
To be 100% yourself. The way you are with clients will reflect the clientele you receive. I can proudly say I love each and every client I have. I am very picky when it comes to who is sitting in my chair because to me, it’s more than money. It’s a relationship. I learn more about my clients than I think some of their friends/family do. So if we don’t have good vibes all around I won’t take you on as a client.
Where do you think you get most of your clients from?
Social media is the #1 FREE marketing tool. If you are consistent then you will reap the benefits. Regardless of how “talented” you are. Consistency is key.
