Learn how the Hairstory affiliate program helps hairdressers and salon professionals earn passive income — whether they're behind the chair or on vacation. In this video, Hairstory's friend Romi explains how stylists can sign up for the affiliate program, share a personalized referral link with clients, and earn 25% commission on every purchase made through that link — for life.

The program is designed for everyone, from social media-savvy stylists who already know how to leverage affiliate marketing, to hairdressers who prefer a hands-on approach and simply sign clients up during their appointment. Instead of relying on retail inventory sitting on salon shelves, stylists can recommend Hairstory products like New Wash during consultations and have clients create an account through their personal link right from the salon chair.

Romi also shares practical tips for promoting your affiliate link on social media: keep it in your Instagram bio and link tree, add it to stories when featuring products or before-and-after transformations, and always include a clear call to action like "shop my link" on posts, reels, and TikToks. The key takeaway — make it easy for clients to find your link so you never miss out on commission from the sales you're already driving through your work and content.

How to Set Up and Promote Your Hairstory Affiliate Link

A beginner's guide for hairdressers and salon professionals to start earning passive income through the Hairstory affiliate program. Learn how to sign clients up, place your link for maximum visibility, and promote it on social media to earn 25% commission on every sale.

Sign Up for the Hairstory Affiliate Program

Register for a Hairstory affiliate account to receive your personalized referral link. This link is unique to you and tracks every client purchase back to your account so you earn 25% commission on each sale.

Pro Tip: The affiliate program is designed for everyone — whether you're a social media pro or prefer working one-on-one with clients in the chair.

Add Your Affiliate Link to Your Bio and Link Tree

Place your personalized Hairstory affiliate link in your Instagram bio and link tree. This should be a permanent fixture — not something you add and remove. When potential customers visit your profile and browse your content, your link needs to be immediately accessible so they can shop directly through you.

Pro Tip: If you don't put your link in your bio, visitors will go to the Hairstory website and shop directly — and you won't get your commission.

Sign Clients Up in the Chair

While your client is in the salon, have them create an account through your affiliate link right from their phone. They're already sitting there with time to spare. Walk them through the products you're using on their hair and explain how to recreate the look at home. Then have them sign up under your link so they can order those exact products through you whenever they need them.

Pro Tip: This is your most effective conversion moment — you're demonstrating the products in real time, and the client can sign up before they even leave the salon.

Share Your Link in Social Media Stories

When you post Instagram stories or TikTok content featuring Hairstory products — whether it's a before-and-after, a product of the week, or a styling tutorial — add your affiliate link directly to the story using the link sticker. Make it easy for viewers to tap and shop in the moment.

Pro Tip: People don't want to search around to find where to buy. If the link is right there in your story, they'll use it.

Include a Call to Action in Posts, Reels, and TikToks

Every time you create a post, reel, or TikTok that features Hairstory products or results, include a clear call to action directing your audience to your affiliate link. Use phrases like 'link in bio,' 'shop my link,' or 'tap the link in my bio to shop.' Be very clear with your audience where they need to go to purchase.

Pro Tip: Consistency is key — make 'shop my link' part of your regular content routine so your audience always knows where to find your products.

Earn Commission While You Sleep

Once your clients are signed up under your link and your social presence is driving traffic, you'll earn 25% commission on every purchase — for life. You don't need to be in the salon, you don't need inventory on the shelf, and if something is out of stock at your location, clients can still order through your link. You're earning income whether you're working, traveling, or off with your family.

Pro Tip: Think of it as working smarter, not harder. Your affiliate link sells for you around the clock — you just need to make sure people know it exists.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Hairstory affiliate program?

The Hairstory affiliate program lets hairdressers and salon professionals earn commission by sharing a personalized referral link with their clients. When clients purchase Hairstory products through your link, you earn 25% commission on every order — for life. It's designed as a passive income stream that works whether you're in the salon, traveling, or off the clock.
How much commission do Hairstory affiliates earn?

Hairstory affiliates earn 25% commission on every purchase a client makes through their personalized affiliate link. This commission is recurring, meaning you continue to earn every time that client reorders — not just on their first purchase.
How do I sign my clients up for the Hairstory affiliate program?

The easiest way is to sign clients up while they're in your chair. They're already on their phone during their appointment, so have them create an account through your personalized affiliate link right then and there. Once they're signed up under your link, any future purchases they make will earn you commission — even if they order from home between appointments.
Do I need to be good at social media to use the Hairstory affiliate program?

No. The program works for everyone regardless of social media experience. Stylists who are active on social media can promote their link through Instagram stories, reels, TikToks, and their bio. But if social media isn't your thing, you can still be successful by simply signing clients up in person during their appointments and letting them reorder through your link on their own.
Where should I put my Hairstory affiliate link?

Your affiliate link should always be in your Instagram bio and link tree. When you post stories featuring Hairstory products, before-and-afters, or styling tutorials, add your link directly to the story using the link sticker. On posts, reels, and TikToks, include a clear call to action like 'link in bio' or 'shop my link' so your audience knows exactly where to go. If you don't make your link easy to find, clients may purchase directly from the Hairstory website and you'll miss out on your commission.
Do I need to keep Hairstory products in stock at my salon?

No. Unlike traditional salon retail where you need to buy inventory upfront and keep products on the shelf, the affiliate model eliminates that entirely. Clients order directly through your link and Hairstory handles fulfillment and shipping. If a product is out of stock at your salon, clients can still purchase it through your affiliate link at any time.
Who is the Hairstory affiliate program for?

The Hairstory affiliate program is for everyone — just like Hairstory products. It's designed for hairdressers and salon professionals who want to earn income from product recommendations without the overhead of traditional retail. Whether you're a social media-savvy stylist with a large following or a behind-the-chair professional who prefers one-on-one client relationships, the program adapts to your style of working.
