Serve others and give yourself a raise

My life as a hairstylist began over 27 years ago!  Many of those years I did not handle my vocation in a  professional manner.  I have learned over the last 7 years that in order to give my client what they want and me get what I want I must take on the servant attitude.  Christ tells us in the bible that he came to serve, to save that which is lost.  I believe that God wants me to look at each client as His child and serve them.  Many times that is mainly just listening and doing my best to give them what will make them happy!!! (I pray to read their mind LOL)  I feel like that is what I do many days!!!  I have also come to realize that it's ok to charge for my services.  Many people get raises every year and we as hairstylist (especially when we make our own price menu) do not get  raise forever or  maybe every 5 years.  (Now I believe you should educate yourself thoroughly and that you should be professional in all aspects.)  In fact one class I took a few years ago said that every year at the same time you should go up on one service.  So if you choose Oct.  one Oct you could go up $1-$5 on your color, or what ever service you maybe had the most education that year.  Then the next Oct go up on another service.  That way you train yourself and your clients that every year you will get a raise.   Have I done this?  I was faithful for many years and lately I have not done this but I remember it was great when I did.  I just might have to take my own advice!!  Have a blessed profitable day!!
