I’m not cheap and will never aspire to be

2025/2/9 Edited to

... Read moreIn today's fast-paced world, the perception of value is often clouded by misconceptions about pricing. Many equate low prices with affordability, but this does not always guarantee quality. In my journey as a licensed salon professional, I embody the ideals of being 'cool, loyal, professional, reliable, neat, and fast.' These attributes are not just buzzwords for me; they represent a commitment to excellence in service delivery and customer satisfaction. Clients should look for professionals who prioritize their reputation and the quality of their work. Building a strong brand often requires an investment in oneself, including education, training, and the right tools. This commitment translates directly into better service, which clients can discern. Moreover, discussing money openly within various forums, such as those tagged #richbuthumble and #moneyonmymind, addresses the often-taboo conversation around pricing for services in the beauty industry. By using these hashtags, I invite others to share their perspectives on how service pricing reflects not only on the professionals but on the value they deliver to clients. Ultimately, refusing to underprice myself is not just about profitability; it's about setting a standard in the industry. It's about attracting clients who understand that quality comes at a price. When clients seek me out, they are investing in professionalism and reliability, key components that ensure their needs are met with the utmost care and respect.

I Don’t Want To Be a Mother
I hate the ideology that all women aspire to motherhood and being a wife, but in 2025 I thought it was understood that a lot of women are not chasing that. I’ve been saying this for years and I don’t see me changing my mind on this ever ! #blackgirllemon8 #lemon8contest #AskLemon8

“Ikonic, are you ever going to step on stage?” No. 😂 I just genuinely do not desire to be that lean. When I started my bulk, it was because I truly did not like being so small, and honestly, I still don’t. I personally like a fuller physique. That’s what makes ME feel good and confident. J
