EPISODE ONE: Turning Insults Into Ideas with Amanda Craig
On the very first episode of We’re Just Hairdressers, Terra chats with Nashville’s most in demand hairstylist, Amanda Craig.
Amanda is the Co-Owner of Leigh, Edwards & Company and Edward Barber. Shop. She has worked with celebrities like Blake Shelton, Kelly Clarkson, Cassadee Pope, and many more! In this episode, Terra and Amanda dig deeper into the stereotypes surrounding hairdressers, how seriously we take ourselves as stylists, money management, and how to start off on the right foot in your styling career.

AMANDA’S TIPS TO BE TAKEN SERIOUSLY:
Dress for success every day! You need to look in the mirror and ask yourself, “Do I have the right to give beauty advice today? Did I earn that right?”
Always carry yourself in a professional manner.
Be 100% present for yourself and your team. Don’t disappear in the back! Nothing good happens just hanging out in the back room! Have a conversation with your client and give them a great experience. Check your books and think about new ideas and techniques to serve your upcoming clients well!
Work when you’re at work! Unless you are doing something that is bettering your brand and the salon’s brand, you don’t need to be on Instagram at work!
Make the most of every day behind the chair. Even if you only have one or two appointments, don’t move appointments at the last minute!
