Sometimes you have to go back to where it all

started from to remind yourself of how far you have come….

IYKTYK… This house in Henderson is where HAIRBYSKILZ was created. I was 24 yrs old, single mother of 1 and working 40 hrs a week at Royal Homes Fashion Warehouse for 6 yrs already and I started doing hair in this exact house on weekends, build my clientele, with no license, and I decided one day to take a leap of faith and quit my warehouse job to chance my dreams of being a hairstylist and open my own Salon. Quit my job on Aug 3rd 1998 and never looked back… #whereitallstarted #annwrightjoiner #HairbySkilz #foryourpage #dayinmylife #myjourney #dailydose #stayhumble #godisgood #livingmybestlife

Many aspiring hairstylists find themselves in similar situations, working long hours while dreaming of creating their own business. This experience is not unique; countless individuals have successfully made the transition from traditional jobs to following their passion in the beauty industry. It requires hard work and resilience. Getting licensed, building a clientele, and eventually establishing a salon are milestones that many strive for. Networking and community support play a vital role in this process. Engaging with local beauty professionals, participating in workshops, and using social media platforms for promotion can significantly enhance visibility and attract clients. Sharing your story, like the narrative of starting in a modest home and transforming into a salon owner, resonates with many who dream of making a similar change in their lives. In addition, the challenges faced by single parents pursuing a career in the beauty industry can serve as an inspiration for others in similar circumstances. It reminds us that with determination, success is within reach, and each step taken is a testament to one’s dedication. Whether it begins with a simple idea in your living room or a passion nurtured during weekends, the journey is worth every effort. Remembering where you started can ignite the necessary motivation to keep pushing forward, inspiring others along the way.
