I Opened My Salon at 19. Here’s What No One Tells You.
Welcome to the very first episode of She Built This Chair!
We’re kicking this off with the story that started it all:
How I went from charging $20 for blowouts → to owning a 10-chair salon by 19 → to building a legacy brand that now helps thousands of stylists and salon owners scale with strategy.
But this isn’t just about what I did.
It’s about what I’d do differently — and what I want you to know before you make the leap.
Inside this episode, I talk candidly about:
-
Starting scrappy and saying yes before I felt ready
-
The leadership lessons that humbled me real fast
-
The hard marketing truth I didn’t understand until it was almost too late
-
What legacy really means — and how I’m building mine now
-
Why candor, clarity, and conviction matter more than confidence when you’re first starting out
If you’ve ever wondered how to start before you’re “qualified”…
how to lead without losing yourself…
or how to build something that actually lasts — this one’s for you.
Let’s begin.
