Now, thanks to social media, there are so many more career avenues open to the industry, from education all the way to being an influencer. The thing that remains consistent and hasn\u2019t changed is that the first few years are hard work. You have to graft to reach your full potential. But there are things that if you put in place at the start of your career, they will protect you in the future.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Number one<\/strong>, this is a non-negotiable: boundaries. Your time is your time, it is okay to not respond to a client at 9pm on a Saturday evening. With social media so prevalent and accessible, it also makes us accessible. Set up an automatic response that is polite but firm: &#8216;Thank you for reaching out, I will reply to your message when I return to work.&#8217; If you work in a salon with a front of house, speak with your manager regarding salon policies on appointments and direct clients to the salon website or phone.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Number two<\/strong>, know your worth. Do not discount your work ever. Does your doctor, physio, dentist, therapist, landlord or bank give you a discount? So why as an industry do we feel this need to discount our work? This is work that we have upskilled and spent our own time developing. It is your craft that you have honed and perfected.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Number three<\/strong>, research your place of work.
