Fashion & Personal Stylist - I Make People Look Good

So I asked to work with a stylist for more exposure and experience. However, they couldn't offer me a rate per day I felt made sense to me. I knew he had some work coming in but it was more editorials which doesn't pay. He said, at some point, big jobs will come in but for now he could only offer £20 per day. I had a decision to make. Bearing in mind I was assisting other stylists too (Another tip - assist more than one stylist at the same time) So, I accepted the £20 per day. But on the condition that when those big jobs come I will be paid extra. Few months down the line, those big jobs came. Back to back to back. I got paid well at the time for a few days work. (Check post) 👇🏾 Note* I still worked hard, was polite, never complained, and showed up on time each day. Learned, observed and literally assisted him whenever he needed me. Despite only getting £20 per day. That Is literally the definition of delayed gratification. The Takeaway for Aspiring Stylists: - Assist as many stylists as you can, they all work differently. - Be strategic in your endeavours. Can't work for free forever. - Your soft skills are just as important, if not more important than your hard skills. Styledbytyson.com Peace 💋🤘🏽
