What I learned in cosmetology school prepared me for state board. What I didn’t learn in cosmetology school prepared me for failure! Please don’t get me wrong, I learned plenty in cosmetology school but I didn’t learn how to start and run my own business. While I was a student, I was never encouraged to have my own. Even though I wanted my own salon I was always discouraged in one way or another. Fortunately there was a spirit of motivation inside of me, a flame that never died. It kept me wanting and pushing for more. I thank God for that spirit because I am the proud owner of HARMONY-“A Blowout, Cut, & Color Salon”! If you are a student or cosmetology graduate there are some things you can do right now to succeed in this industry and it doesn’t always have to be behind the chair! Stay tuned for more…as always, be inspired, encouraged, and empowered. God Bless…
