this is such an exciting update to share!!!!
i decided on 01/04 to start my own business. it was something i had considered years earlier but i had totally written it off because i thought i had found my forever work home elsewhere. but on that very tuesday, i was faced with a choice and i started to dream again.
really quickly, things started to fall into place and before i knew it, i was doing the whole dang thing!
did i doubt myself? holy shit YES. was i terrified? again... YES.
but somehow, i managed to scramble myself right into becoming a very humble and proud owner of my very own salon! (whaaaaat?!?!)
don't get me wrong- i didn't just cross my fingers and hope for the best... starting 01/04, i spent every single waking hour educating myself and laying out a plan for this fantastical idea of mine. meanwhile, i was also facing one of the lowest moments i had experienced before.... one of my closest friends turned their back on me and it totally broke me. thats a very long story for another time but suffice to say, i was in a weird place and if it weren't for others investing in me at that time, i would have absolutely given up.
it is absolutely insane to me that i have gotten this far in such a short amount of time. i busted my tail to set up a small studio in Belle Meade but all the while, i was on a very long list requesting to be transferred to my dream location in Bellevue.
exactly ONE MONTH to the day of me opening, i got a call letting me know that (completely unexpectedly) a studio had become available in my dream location and i had the opportunity to take it! <insert "mind blown" emoji here>
you guys- studios in this location do NOT open up. there is a reason that almost every stylist in that Bellevue location has been there for a very long time. but somehow, this just happened to become available right when i needed it?!?
this decision was extremely difficult because it involved taking even more of a financial risk. i would have to take another leap of faith and it felt soooo quick to have to do that already! but i knew this was a chance i couldn't pass up so i checked all the boxes, signed all the papers and scooted on over to my happy place!
oddly enough, things started falling in place once again and i'm so happy to say that the leap of faith was TOTALLY worth it! i'm so excited to share this new (*ahem* bigger) space! i really can't wait to spoil all of you with such a great time in my favorite hang out spot.
come see me!
