Hi I’m New Here…

 Whoa… my very first blog post ever. I have no idea what I’m doing exactly- other than finding new and exciting ways to grow my barbershop business.

I run a solo barber suite called Wild Wolf Barbershop, in Acworth Ga. I’m not new to working for myself - but I’m brand new to completely working by myself. I had a partner up until about 5 months ago or so. We parted ways (maybe a future blog post for itself) and I moved into my own barber suite. Less than a week later, I was having carpal tunnel and cubital tunnel surgery. 3 total procedures on my left hand/arm… which left me out of work for a total of two months. Two months out of work sounds like a vacation to a lot of people but I was completely unprepared financially and emotionally to be out of work for that long. I never received a clear picture prior to surgery on exactly what recovery was going to look like. Many people told me they were driving the next day… it took me four weeks to be able to drive. One finger incision infection, a bought of anxiety and seven weeks later I was finally back to taking clients again. Going back to work felt like completely uncharted waters because I was technically in a brand new suite, I was still in PT for my hand/arm and I wasn’t able to take on a full work load for some time. All of these things combined ultimately led to my clientele to shrink… not exactly what I was hoping for after not working for 2 months.

All of that being said- I’m absolutely embracing this time I have on my hands to learn as much as I possibly can. I’ve dove off into the rabbit hole of learning SEO, consuming small business podcasts left and right and I’m even considering adding a completely new service- SMP (more blogs to come) to my business. And here I am- blogging…

My faith in God and my drive to provide for my family are so strong and the fuel to my fire. I’m not sure what I have in mind for this blog but here we go!

Skincare & Grooming Services for Men at Wild Wolf Barbershop

All skincare services mentioned are preformed in shop. I love skincare… it’s not just a routine for me- it’s a lifestyle. Here in Acworth, I have noticed my clients fall into a very wide range when it comes to skincare. Some guys never touch a drop of skincare on a daily basis…  while some of my clients are well versed in products, routines and skincare brands. I really want to offer a couple of tailored skincare treatments for my clients. Getting a facial is one of the most relaxing and refreshing services you can receive. I am so excited to take a Dermalogica class soon, so that I can further my education in skincare. I’m doing a deep dive on the perfect products to complement the services I want to offer. Dermalogica is a leading brand in skincare for at home use and professional settings. Keep an eye on my website for pricing and service details- so you can book a facial when they become available! Update:  I have now added the Pro Calm 10 facial to my list of services at...

Wild Wolf Barbershop- Sustainable Barbering Practices

Composting Blog: Where Nature and Wild Wolf Barbershop Come Together  I think I am truly just a grandma at heart. When I’m not inside Wild Wolf Barbershop producing men’s haircuts and beard trims- I have a couple hobbies. I love plants, yard work, our little goldfish pond and just being outside as much as possible. The climate in Acworth, Ga is so ideal for outdoor activities!  I decided to try my hand at growing some fruits and veggies this year. We even plan on starting our own little flock of quail for eggs and meat (which will probably be its own post). Naturally fertilizing a garden leads us down the path of composting- the best way to have organic fertilizer on hand for our garden. I started our compost pile about a month ago and wow- it can really be a whole science. Composting is great for our soil health, our environment and cutting down on what’s sitting in our landfills. https://www.epa.gov/sustainable-management-food/composting I realized that I have a plethora of ...
