This month’s Vibe Pro Spotlight is on Heather, owner of Texture Studio located in Suite 44 within Vibe Salon Suites in Plymouth, MI. She is a cosmetologist who specializes in color. Heather has been in the industry for over 20 years, working in a traditional salon before making the move to a salon suite at Vibe. Keep reading to learn more about why she decided to transition to a salon suite and what she likes most about being an independent beauty professional.

Why did you decide to go solo and work out of a salon suite as opposed to working in a traditional salon or spa setting?

Choosing to go solo was a no brainer for me, I don’t like to be told what to do! So what better than to be my own boss! I never wanted to be your typical salon owner, yet I like to be the boss! So choosing to go into to the suite life made that happen for me.

Did you tour other salon suites? If so, why did you choose Vibe?

I chose Vibe for a few reasons: location and easy access to the freeway is great! The clean, modern look stood out to me and most of all the people who are a part of the Vibe family are welcoming to all areas of the beauty community!

What advice would you give to someone who is trying to decide if they want to go solo or not?

I would tell anyone who is wanting or putting any thought to opening their own salon suite to just do it! Be passionate about what’s in front of you and you will be successful.

What is the best thing about being an independent beauty professional?

The best part about being independent is just that, independence! Go and come as you please, being able to work around your home life, crazy sports schedules and not having to put in for that day off and risk being told you can’t! There is no CAN’T when you're the boss!

What do you like most about your suite at Vibe Salon Suites?

I love my high ceilings the most in my Vibe suite! Everything seems so much more open.
