5 Hairstyles That Made Me $250 in One Weekend
I’ve built businesses, negotiated capital, and watched service income outperform retail time and time again. Hair styling is no different—low overhead, high demand, instant payout. One weekend of booking, marketing, and quick-turn services earned me $250, no salon, no payroll, just skill leveraged like a revenue engine.
1. Beach Waves & Soft Curls
Price: $25–$40 per client
Time: 20–25 minutes
Versatile for brunches, parties, date nights—clients book fast.
Four appointments alone put $120 in my pocket.
2. Sleek Ponytails
Price: $20–$35
Minimal tools, polished finish, high turnover.
Three ponytail sessions = another $60+.
3. Dutch & French Braids
Price: $15–$30
Kids, dancers, athletes = recurring customers every week.
Two braid bookings gave me $40 in under an hour.
4. Half-Up Twist Styles

One appointment added $35 to the weekend total.
5. Classic Blowouts
Price: $25–$35

One blowout Sunday morning sealed the week at $250+.
Quick Math — How the Money Stacked Up
• 4 curls × $30 = $120
• 3 ponytails × $25 = $75
• 2 braids × $20 = $40
• 1 twist × $35 = $35
Total: $270 earned in 2 days.
Simple. Structured. Scalable.
Final Word — From a Man Who Studies Margin Like Market Charts
This wasn’t luck—it was pricing discipline + fast execution + repeat clients. You don’t need 50 bookings. You need five profitable ones. Choose services with speed, demand, and return rate—and treat hair like a micro-business, not a hobby.
