This article is all about teaching you how to start your hair company in 2021. We have eight top tips that we would like to share with you. These are things that you must consider and to-do list if you want to start your business this year. And everything that we're listing is not in any particular order, you can do any of these in any order that you choose.

#1 Research Become An Expert

The first thing about this list is a no-brainer and its research. Make sure you are doing your research. So many people start their businesses with no knowledge of their industry.

The wig density, the different types of wig caps, the various laces, and most importantly, the difference between Raw hair, Virgin hair, Remy hair. Know your terminologies, and comprehend what they mean. When you want to start any business, make sure you become an expert in your industry. Because your customers are expecting you to be a hundred percent knowledgeable about the products that you sell. How can you truthfully answer your customer's questions and concerns if you don't know the answers to them yourselves? So definitely research everything last thing that you need to know about your industry.

#2 Pick An Ideal Customer

The second thing is having an understanding of who your target audience is. Who is your ideal customer? Who is it that you want to sell to? Learn everything there is to know about the target audience. Make all the business decisions based on your target audience.

#3 Choose A Business Name

Number three is obvious, if you're starting your hair or wig business this year, you need to come up with a business name. There are a few things that you want to keep in mind when it comes to creating a business name.

The first one is it takes time, you're not going to be able to sit down and come up with a business name within 24 hours. It may take weeks until you can nail down the perfect name. Do your research to make sure the name you choose is not already been taken. It’s best to check in with the trademark system, local database, the domain name online and even the social media handle just to be sure. 

Take your time when it comes to finding a business name. It's not going to be a quick and easy process. It is going to take time, you can brainstorm and come up with ideas it might pop up to you. But probably stay away from words like doll, looks, glam, crown, luxury, etc. Nine out of ten chances that name is already taken.

#4 Get Registered

Registering your business and doing everything legally. Register at the local state or government and make sure you register your business with the IRS by getting your EIN, that is extremely important. Every state has different rules, go to the IRS website and they will tell you how to do it.

#5 Create Social Media Pages

Once you come up with the name, go ahead and create the social media pages. That way no one else comes up with the same business name that you have and then takes the business name before you. This is the easiest part of the list you can tick off the box.

#6 Find Vendor and Test Hair

Number six is if you plan on starting a hair or wig business you got to find a vendor. This is another step in the process that will be taking a long time. Like coming up with your name, it is not going to be an overnight process. How much money you need is determined by how much the vendors charge and how many vendors you have to go through. It's going to require some sort of investment. If this is a business that you want to do and this is something that you're passionate about, you'll have to work hard and save up money so that you can test out those vendors.

#7 Take Photos And Videos

Take a lot of pictures! When you purchase that hair from your vendors, take as many pictures of the hair as possible and install it. Have your best friend wear it. People can't purchase something that they can't see, the more the merrier.

#8 Invest In Yourself and Your Business

If you are starting a business, this is one of the most important things that you need to do. You need to invest in yourself, invest in your business, but most importantly invest in learning. Always utilize your free resources, so we have Google and we have Youtube, those are free resources. When we say read every article and look at every video, make sure you do that. Because that's free, but you're going to get to a point where you realize free can't take you that far like if everybody could get the information from free and become a millionaire, everybody would be a millionaire. It’s impossible if you could build a million-dollar company with free information.

Start paying for the things that you want to know and when you are paying for it, that is when you learn the knowledge that you could not find out for free and you take that information and you apply it to your business. Money starts flowing in. You can't be scared to spend money, but you also have to understand you don't know what you don't know. So if there's something that you struggle with, you need to learn it to turn that weakness into a strength.
