What has been the most rewarding part<br />
of owning your own business?<br />
Seeing my team transform so many heads of hair! It’s<br />
awesome to see someone’s confidence change in just one<br />
hair appointment.<br />
Who or what inspired you to be a business owner?<br />
I’ve had many strong, independent, female mentors<br />
along my hair journey. Thanks to them, they have given<br />
me drive and determination to get where I am today.<br />
What has been your biggest hurdle as the business owner?<br />
Being a girl-boss can be hard. Between running a salon,<br />
keeping up with trends, employees, social media, clients,<br />
etc., it’s hard to have down time. I’ve learned it’s important<br />
to give yourself a break, sometimes.<br />
If you could take one educational course since<br />
owning your own business, what would it be?<br />
My dream is to attend the Vidal Sassoon Academy.<br />
It’s full of top notch classes to further my education<br />
and that of my team’s.<br />
What’s your best advice to women considering<br />
going into their own business?<br />
You can do this! Always improve. Stay true to who you<br />
are and let it show through your business.<br />
What part of your job do you wish you could avoid?<br />
Any negativity. I wish customers would reach out to<br />
management for any issues they might have. Most people<br />
are quick to jump onto Facebook and rant instead.<br />
People don’t realize things like this can actually harm<br />
businesses. Support local and help them improve.<br />
What is your favorite mode of relaxation after a day’s work?<br />
Spending time with my husband and fur babies, catching<br />
up with my shows, listening to music and singing.<br />
