The reality of finding customers for hairdressers in places like Peckham, Lewisham, Woolwich
Outside the shops. Handing out cards. Trying to find clients for the day. Skilled Afro hairdressers are doing hard, invisible work just to stay booked. Here is what it looks like, and where all done. fits in.
If you’ve spent time in places like Peckham, Lewisham, or Woolwich, you’ve probably seen this before. Hairdressers outside. Handing out cards. Speaking to people passing by. Trying to find clients for the day.
For many, this is part of the reality of the job. And behind it, there’s a lot people don’t always see.
Skilled professionals, quietly working hard
These are skilled professionals. Braiders, wig specialists, locticians. People with real talent and experience. But finding consistent clients isn’t always straightforward.
- Some rely on walk-ins.
- Some rely on word of mouth.
- Many rely on Instagram.
And while Instagram works for some, it doesn’t work for everyone. If your content isn’t pushed by the algorithm, or you don’t already have a large following, it becomes harder for new clients to find you.
And for clients, it’s not always easy either
Scrolling, messaging, waiting, and still not knowing who is available. It can take time on both sides.
“Not based on who appears first. Not based on luck.”
This is where all done. comes in
A platform designed to make things more structured and accessible. A place where stylists can clearly list their services, their pricing, and their availability. And where clients can find and book based on what they actually need.
Whether it’s helping stylists get discovered, or helping fill last-minute gaps, it’s about creating a smoother experience for everyone. Because when the process works better, everyone benefits.
