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

Shayna, appreciate you joining us today. If you could go back in time do you wish you had started your business sooner or later

If I could go back in time, I would 100% start my business sooner. When I first had the thought about going into business for myself it was literally the scariest thing I’ve done career wise but in the end it was the best decision for me. I, unfortunately, let the fear of failure keep me front branching out sooner and that will always be a regret for me in my career.

Shayna, before we move on to more of these sorts of questions, can you take some time to bring our readers up to speed on you and what you do?

I’ve always loved the hair industry even when I was a little girl, the creativity of it all. I was enrolled in a community college to start classes for being a school teacher and realized that’s not where my passion was. What I love most about my work is the people, I love interacting with people from all walks of life I want people to be able to feel comfortable in my chair and know that I’ll do my best to deliver their desired end result.
My passion really lies with hair color, especially vivid color. Blues, purples, pinks, you name it I’m open to it all! But I think being open and educated to all types of hair color techniques really helps you thrive in this industry.
For me personally, I want potential clients to know is that I care and I think communication is the most important thing in a stylist/client relationship. If you don’t have good communication, you won’t have a good foundation for that relationship.

What’s been the most effective strategy for growing your clientele?

Honestly, the most effective strategy I’ve found is just being 100% myself. I think authenticity really speaks for itself, you attract what is meant for you and I’ve always believed in that.

Where do you think you get most of your clients from?

Best source for me is my current clients! I’m beyond thankful and blessed that my current clientele feels like I’m worth sharing with their friends and family. I’ve always believed word of mouth is the best source of advertisement.
