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?
I decided to go solo so I could have full control of my career. From what services I provided, to products I stand behind, to how I book my clients... it was time for me to take the reigns!
Did you tour other salon suites? If so, why did you choose Vibe?
I chose Vibe because they best fit my needs. I have freedom within Vibe to do what I want for my business, but I am also in a supportive atmosphere! I love that Vibe cares about their renters & works closely with us to ensure we’re happy & thriving!
What advice would you give to someone who is trying to decide if they want to go solo or not?
Just. Do. It. I hadn’t planned on making the jump- it was a very last minute decision & was the best thing I’ve ever done. If you have the passion, work ethic, & clientele- DO IT. It’s scary at first, but it’s without a doubt the best decision I’ve ever made for myself & my career.
What is the best thing about being an independent beauty professional?
Freedom! You get to decide everything for your career and your personal life & there are ZERO limits!
What do you like most about your suite at Vibe Salon Suites?
I love the one on one atmosphere! I have complete control of my environment & enjoy the quality relationships I build with my clients. I also love the location- it’s the perfect spot for the Metro Detroit area!
