But before you start this journey, you need to know this business fully and gather relevant information as much as you can. Are you excited of becoming a hair extension tycoon? If your answer is yes, what are you waiting for? Let’s go. Today I will show you the steps you need to take to turn the thoughts in your head into reality and build your own hair extension brand.

Define Your Brand Identity

First things first – What is the name of your hair extension brand? You should answer this question prudently because your brand name reflects your brand identity. And you should also think about what’s your brand all about? Are your brand all about luxury, or do you cater to the everyday gal? The first thing you should do is to take some time to think about your brand’s style, values, and target customer base. Once you make out a complete plan of these things, the second thing you should do is to come up with a name, I think the importance of brand names can never be overstated. Third, design a fashionable and attractive logo. And fourth, don’t forget the brand story. A good brand story can attract more customers.

Don’t think building a brand is all about providing good products. The time, energy and money you invested in your brand name and logo can also serve as a sign of how much you care for your customers. Trust me, people would be attracted by good names and attentively designed logos. If you feel that you are not good at naming or designing logos, you should hire an expert to do this for you. But you should never be sloppy in this.

Conduct Market Research

Alright, high fives all around because you’ve conquered the first step in building your hair extension brand! Now, let’s tackle the next phase – research time! Picture yourself as a detective, except instead of finding criminals, you’re investigating the hair extension market. The first thing you should do is to see what other hair extension brands are doing. What styles do they offer? How do they market themselves? And most importantly, what’s their advantage?

Second, you should investigate the market trends. What’s popular right now in hair extensions market? You don’t want to provide outdated products for your customers, right?

Third, you should do some research of your customers. Basically is who are they? And what do they want?

Create a Business Plan

The first step is also easy, set these ideas into a paper or type them in your computer. Make an outline of your objectives, target market, marketing strategies, sales and financial projections. Ask your friends and family to take a look at your plan or even consult a specialist if you like. And remember, look at your budget carefully, including everything from product development to marketing to operations – every penny counts!

Register Your Business

After making a detailed plan, it’s time to make things formal. The first thing you should do is to choose a legal structure for your brand, for example, a sole proprietorship or partnership. Second, register your business name. And third, prepare all the necessary permits and licenses that are required to operate your company legally. This is an exciting moment for you, meaning the start of a new business empire.

Develop Your Product Line

Having found a reliable source supplier, it’s time to get down to the establishment of your product line. The kind of product line you want to establish must be align with your brand’s identity and cater to your customers’ needs. Think about materials, styles, types, and pricing – and don’t forget to throw in a little extra sparkle to make your products stand out from the crowd. If it’s the first time you test water in this business, I strongly suggest you to cooperate with a matured hair extension factory-maybe you can rent a product line in the factory at the beginning.

Build Your Online Presence

In the contemporary world, no business can be successful without the Internet. You should also build your own website that shows the advantages of your products and the story of your brand.

And don’t forget about offline sales opportunities – think pop-up shops, trade shows, and collaborations with retailers.

Nurture Your Brand

Last but not least, don’t forget to nurture your brand after it’s been established. Nurturing your brand and building your brand are equally important. Sometimes, nurturing your hair extension brand is more important than building your brand. Here are the things you should do: Keep exploring new customers, you can do that through social media, email newsletters, and other marketing channels.
