The Stylist chooses an assortment of shoes, outerwear and accessories that are suited to each client's preferences and situational requirements. Their role is meeting with clients to determine the most appropriate clothing and pieces, and advising on possible combinations of items to demonstrate their versatility. Their responsibilities are fulfilling specific requests such as the sourcing of local, environmentally friendly, or collector's items, scouting for tough-to-find items, purchasing and storing a range of suitable products ahead of each fitting, receiving payment for the items that clients would like to purchase, returning unwanted items for a full refund, and ensuring that client...
Steps to take to start your career as a Stylist and other jobs like it
- In this line of work, you will likely need to apply, attend and graduate from an appropriate school. Each state requires different hours and regulations, so make sure your school will get you the requirements needed to practice in your area.
- In addition to the core skills needed to treat your clients, good listening skills, time management, self care and proper hygiene are essential when working with clients.
- Consider starting with a well established business to gain experience in your field. Over time, you will have the experience needed to take on your own clients and perhaps start your own business.
- This line of work is laborious, and can be hard on your body. Taking the time to make sure your body is healthy will ensure longevity in your career. Consider regular Massage, Chiropractic work and/or alternative modalities to stay healthy.
Career Requirements:
So tips I'd have for someone that's thinking about getting into massage is to look at your state's regulations and make sure that you know what to expect going forward. It's probably going to take at least a year from start to finish until you're actually working as a massage therapist.
Avoid Burnout:
One of the biggest things that happen in massage is the burnout. It's laborious work and if you're not taking care of your body and you're not really doing self care, it can really hurt your body and you won't be able to do the work anymore.
Major Perks:
People might not really think about and really this goes for any trade type of work is the fact that you can use your services for other goods and services. So for example, I give someone a massage who happens to do hair and that person will do my hair. I haven't paid for hair in over 10 years. That's amazing. Some of the other fun things that I've traded for are Scotch, specialty wine, electrical work for my house and an array of other amazing things. Things you wouldn't even expect.
Salary Tips:
If you really want to succeed as a massage therapist and really just make as much money as you can, I would suggest opening your own place. Work as a massage therapist yourself but run a business with other people working for you. But just working on your own, you'll do well but you're not going to make a lot of money.
