“Constantly posting is essential, and adding the right hashtags also helps more clients see your posts.”

“Make sure your pictures are in high definition and well-lit to showcase your work. Before-and-after pictures are very impactful and a great way to promote a service. Most social media platforms can provide insight on what your followers are looking at, and you can use that as a guide to what you’re posting.”
—Mehae Kim, senior artist, Damone Roberts Beverly Hills (CA)
“Post lots of before-and-after pictures and videos of successful services you have performed, share your reviews, and use as many hashtags as possible. It’s important for potential clients to get to know your brand through your social presence before they come in.”
—Shobha Tummala, founder and CEO, Shobha (multiple locations)
