In order to provide the best possible service to clients, a hair stylist should ideally keep their clientele at a manageable level. This allows the stylist to really get to know their clients and their individual hair needs. It also allows for more one-on-one time with each client, leading to better overall results. Of course, every stylist is different and some may be able to handle a larger number of clients than others. Ultimately, it’s up to the stylist to decide what works best for them and their business.
