5 Easy Instagram Reel Ideas For Hairstylists And Salons | Attract More Followers And Clients In 2021

Oh all, right guys welcome to today's video. I am really excited to be sitting down and making this video, because this has been a video that so many of you have requested, especially those of you who have come over from instagram. A lot of you have asked about instagram reels, and i know for so many of us. We just need some different ideas for instagram reels, and i don't know about you, but i know that instagram reels can sometimes feel really daunting. It can feel like a lot of work, and sometimes the last thing we want to even think about doing is creating another video or creating a different piece of content, especially if you haven't created one before so. I just wanted to make this quick, concise video, to show you how you can make really easy instagram reels that don't require a ton of editing that don't require this huge moving parts of like all these different clips and things being put together, complicated, sound bites. I wanted to make something that was really simple, and i also wanted to make sure that it didn't require any like crazy lip, syncing or dance moves like you're, seeing a lot of the videos have, but if this is our first time hanging out uh welcome to My channel, my name, is jamie dana. I help hair stylists and salon owners. Just like you grow your business on instagram and if we have hung out before you might have noticed, something is a little bit different uh. Yes, i went blonde. I decided to change up my hair. It has been four years since i've done anything different to my hair over four years. I don't even know i've been rose gold for like a very long time, and before that i was like pastel purple. So if you are an og that remembers me from like the pastel purple days, it's been a while um and it's literally been forever since i've been blonde. So i just wanted to change it up, do something fun and we also got new glasses. So hey uh, you know same jamie just a little bit different of a look here but anyways enough about me. Let'S jump into today's video all about instagram reels, so you might have noticed, there's been a lot of buzz on instagram about instagram reels, especially when they first came out eight months ago, and it's only gotten increasingly more um talked about throughout instagram, especially if you follow Any other instagram educators or people, not even in the hair world, but just people who teach instagram most likely. You have probably heard them say that instagram reels is where it's at and i have to agree. If you want to grow your follower count on instagram. Unfortunately, you have to be using instagram reels. If that is a goal of yours, you want to get more followers you actually want to hit a certain follower account number instagram. Reels is really going to be where you can actually get a lot more followers, because it's the type of content that instagram is currently pushing out to the algorithm and promoting way more than any other piece of content, and just to be honest, they work. I'Ve noticed it on my page. I get a significant higher amount of views or people coming over to my content, a lot more comments and interactions with the piece of content. So again, if this is a big goal that you have to grow, that follower account instagram reels is something you really want to put some time and effort into now. Of course, if you've been around my channel for long enough or you've been on my instagram for a while, you know that i don't necessarily preach growing. Your follower account and i actually talk a lot about how your follower account doesn't really matter. If you want to just grow your business on instagram, but i know for some of you, there is a deeper purpose of why you might want to grow. Your follower account. Maybe it's to go into education or that's just a big goal that you have. You want to be able to have the swipe up feature or whatever the case might be, and if that's a goal for you, like i said, instagram rails is going to be something you really want to put effort into, and i know for a lot of us. One of the reasons why we're not creating instagram reels is because they can feel like a lot of work, or they can feel a little overwhelming trying to figure out how to create this new piece of content. Which is why i wanted to make this video to show you that it didn't have to be super complicated. It didn't have to be this massive thing, and this is actually something that i've been challenging myself in, because i always think that instagram reels have to be this like huge production. It has to be all this editing and stuff and in fact, a lot of the instagram reels that i have created required, hardly any editing or no editing at all, just a little bit of text. So i wanted to share with you some easy ways and give you some examples of true life: real life hairstyles who are creating content like you that are killing it on instagram reels. So, let's get into it five easy instagram, real ideas for hairstylists and salon owners. Just like you, alright, so real idea, number one is the relatable real. Now i love kylie's video she's done a really fun job of incorporating this relatability with her and her clients. Now one thing i will mention. Obviously, all of these have the sound off because, unfortunately, on youtube, i will get busted if i play the sound. So if you want to check these out, i will link them all in the description box below you can go watch them. I will link it directly to the creators instagram page, so you can go see them over there, but, as you can see, kylie has created these really fun, instagram reels that is relatable to her clients and to her clientele. It'S something that your clients already thinking and you're, saying it for them, so she's found some different sound bites, and a lot of these are just really creative sound bites that she's used to create something that their client would relate to all right. Real idea, number two is myth versus fact real. So this could be a question or a myth that your clients are consistently saying, and so i love this one by ashley. I think that she does a really fun job of just kind of incorporating the hair mythbusters idea into her instagram reel. But this is clearly something that her clients have either said to her or something that comes up in her dms a lot. And so she created an instagram reel about it. Here'S another example of a really simple instagram reel like literally this required. No editing, it just was the sound effect and then they added text over the instagram reel. So again they don't have to be really complicated. It can just be something very clever and you're just dispelling a myth versus a fact or calling something out or answering a question that your clients are constantly happy idea. Number three is info: your clients need to know real, so this is again could be questions that your clients are always asking, or it could be something that you realize your clients have no idea about. I love these two instagram reels from darcy she's done just a really great job of adding in the humor and the relatability, with these sound bites, but she's also giving information and sharing something valuable that maybe her clients don't know about, or maybe a potential client who's. Following her doesn't know as well, so this is valuable content and of course, you can always expand on this in the caption, but the instagram reel really sets the tone and gets people to watch your content. The fourth idea is client appreciation reels. I love this one by hannah. She just did a really fun job with her client and, to be honest, i actually don't know if this is actually one of her clients, or this is just another stylist that she works with or a model or her sister or whatever the case might be. So you can do instagram reels with things like this, and actually you don't even need to necessarily have another human being. You could use a doll head or mannequin head, and this is kind of a trend that people are doing on tiktok and instagram reels. So it doesn't have to necessarily be a human body sitting in your chair. You can reenact this with a doll head and a doll, headstand or um yourself. You could be the client right, but client, appreciation kinds of reels are really fun and again you can also expand on this in the caption as well and, lastly, idea number five is hairstylist thoughts reels, so these are thoughts that you have as a hair stylist. Maybe it's in the salon, maybe in the shampoo bowl, maybe it's just when you're sitting at home on your couch after a long salon day. What are the thoughts that are going through your head? That you can make an instagram reel about and as a client, this content is still relatable to them, because it's still something that's like just a sneak peek into your mind. This isn't something that's necessarily making fun of clients, so you do want to be careful that you're not making fun of your clients in a bad kind of way, because this could put a bad taste in a potential client's mouth and maybe cause them to not come To you, so you do want to make sure that you're being careful about these types of instagram reels. But i also think that it is fun to have these different thoughts that are going throughout your head and making a funny or relatable instagram reel to it. And this last one from desiree. I just think that it is fun now, of course, this one did have a little bit more editing and a little bit more clips put together, but it still wasn't something that was extremely crazy and, yes, she did add a little bit of dancing, but you don't Have to uh this is just an idea that you can take and create your own instagram reels with. So obviously those are just five easy ideas that you can use, and i really want to encourage you to just kind of get in the mode of watching instagram. Real, seeing what sound bites people are using seeing what's trending, seeing how people are putting these videos together and again, don't overthink it. It doesn't have to be this massively edited video. It could be something simple, just finding the right, sound bite and adding the right text to go along with it. So obviously today's video was just some simple ideas, but i'm curious: would you want me to create a more in-depth youtube? Video sharing some of my favorite instagram, real tips and editing tips. If so, let me know in the comments below just say yes make that video um and if you have any questions about instagram reels, also add those into the comments down below, because that way i can answer those questions in that youtube. Video now, like i mentioned at the beginning of this video of course, growing your follower account can feel really awesome and it can feel super fun um. But of course, you still want to make sure that you're still growing your business on instagram too, and that's why again i talk so much about actually growing your business on instagram and not just growing. The follower account to have this vanity metric of, like oh, my gosh. Look at how many thousands of followers i have, but in reality, you're actually not getting clients from instagram. My goal is for you to get clients from instagram and not just get any clients. I want you getting dream clients from instagram, so one of the things that i'm always talking about is making sure that you have a strategy and a plan with your instagram. And so yes, instagram reels is an important part of your strategy, but it's just a little teeny tiny part of your entire instagram strategy and if you feel like, maybe you don't have the rest of your instagram strategy figured out, or maybe you feel like you're starting Down the right direction, but you don't have it all the way figured out or you still feel like you're missing some pieces on it.
