To use these templates, simply copy and paste a question into your community platform and invite members to share their choice and reasoning. You can schedule one Would You Rather post per week or use them as icebreakers during slow periods. Personalize the options to match trending topics, seasonal styles, or your community's unique interests. Encourage members to reply to each other's answers to deepen the conversation. For best results, pin or highlight the post and tag a few active members to get the discussion started.
For all platforms, use clear formatting with emojis or line breaks to highlight the two options. Tagging a few active members in the comments can help kick off the conversation. If your platform supports polls, consider pairing the question with a poll feature for quick participation, then invite deeper discussion in the comments.
To maximize engagement across different expertise levels, alternate your Would You Rather prompts between salon-focused scenarios (like 'Would you rather master the perfect balayage or the trendiest undercut?') and DIY situations (such as 'Would you rather always cut your own bangs or only style with heatless methods?'). This ensures relevance for both licensed stylists and at-home enthusiasts.
Including industry-specific terminology like 'foilyage,' 'keratin treatment,' or 'razor cutting' adds authenticity and fosters deeper discussion among professionals. However, consider pairing technical terms with a brief description or visual to keep posts accessible to less experienced members.
When referencing polarizing trends like 'vivid color melts' vs. 'gray blending,' frame the questions around personal preference or creative challenges rather than judgment. For example, use 'Would you rather be known for creating vibrant fantasy colors or seamless gray transitions?' to encourage respectful sharing rather than heated debate.
Pose questions that tap into real hairstyling dilemmas, such as, 'Would you rather deal with chronic heat damage or persistent chemical breakage?' or 'Would you rather fix a botched box dye or a failed perm?' These relatable scenarios spark meaningful discussion and tip-sharing among members.
Absolutely! Use targeted prompts such as, 'Would you rather perfect your air touch balayage or your clipper fade technique?' This not only encourages engagement but also provides insights into which advanced skills your community is most interested in learning or discussing.
Craft scenarios that reference everyday salon management decisions, for example, 'Would you rather raise your prices annually or charge extra for specialty services?' or 'Would you rather switch to online booking or keep phone scheduling?' These questions spark dialogue around business challenges unique to hairstylists and salon owners.
