Top 5 Ways to Get More Clients as a Barber, Nail Tech, Lash Artist, or Makeup Artist

If you want to get more clients as a barber, nail tech, lash artist, or makeup artist, you’re competing in a fast-growing industry. According to Statista, the global beauty market continues to expand every year, which means more opportunity, but also more competition. And that is why it is even more crucial to be unique.

So how do you attract more clients, gain loyalty, and stay fully booked?

Here are five proven strategies that will help you grow your beauty business, increase visibility, and give clients  more reasons to choose you.


1. Build a Strong Online Presence

Your social media and online presence are your digital storefront. Before booking, clients check your work, captions, reviews, and vibe; and they make decisions fast. A clean, consistent, and trustworthy online image instantly boosts your chances of getting booked.

To stay ahead, focus on:

  • Posting 3–5 times per week
  • Sharing clear before/after photos
  • Adding educational content (care tips, product suggestions)
  • Using a strong bio with your niche (ex: Toronto Lash Artist | Hybrid & Volume Sets)

 

A strong online presence doesn’t just look professional, it drives traffic, boosts discovery, and builds trust. For more on why online presence matters, HubSpot explains it well in this article: Why Your Online Presence is Important


2. Use Social Proof to Build Trust

Clients feel confident booking when they see proof that others already trust you.

Social proof can include:

  • Google reviews
  • Testimonial posts
  • Before/after transformations
  • Client selfies
  • Story highlights

 

Right after appointments, ask clients to leave a review. You can even offer:
“Share a review for 10% off your next visit.”

The more proof you display, the more bookings you close ~without saying a word.


3. Make Booking Easy and Professional

A complicated booking process causes you to lose clients. If someone must DM, wait, ask questions, or go back and forth, many will simply give up. Clients expect fast, simple, 24/7 booking.

Make it easy by:

  • Adding a Book Now link in your bio
  • Displaying your prices and policies clearly
  • Sending reminders
  • Letting clients self-book online

 

Tools like Prolyncs help beauty professionals reduce no-shows, automate reminders, and keep bookings organized; giving clients a smoother experience and giving you more control over your schedule.


4. Encourage Referrals and Reward Loyalty

Your best marketing comes from your existing clients. When they love your work, they will naturally share it but a reward can motivate them to do it faster.

Try:

  • Loyalty cards
  • “Bring a friend” offers
  • Referral codes
  • VIP client perks

 

When clients feel valued, they return more often and refer more people.


5. Build a Personal Brand

Clients don’t just choose services ~they choose people. Your personality, your tone, and your unique style are part of your brand.

Show your story and your voice through:

  • Relatable captions
  • Behind-the-scenes clips
  • Educational posts
  • Personal insights or humor

 

When clients feel connected to you, price becomes less important. They book for you.


FINAL THOUGHTS

Growing your client list takes consistency - not perfection. When you stay visible, build trust, and create a smooth booking experience, your beauty business will grow naturally.

You deserve a business that stays booked & appreciated. And when you’re ready to make booking simpler for both you and your clients, tools like Prolyncs are here to support your journey ~no pressure, just possibilities. <3
