text: hairstylist for 3yrs. i cannot seam to keep any clients, i offer free haircuts, with no luck, what to do? i could use some business advice, thanks. maybe ask your customers? they are the best source of information in this case.  i know it may be awkward.  they may be able to help you idenitify a way to differentiate yourself from the competition.  you want to be unique and do things differently than others.  like offering pedicures during the hair cut! do something extra...  also, maybe have policy of guaranteeing satisfaction (within reason-people can be really an al about their hair!)  instead of discounts, maybe have a referral program - for each new referral, a free offer a free hair care product.  best of luck!
