Beauty Services in a Dash with Carla Olivia of Dash Bar


Listen Later

One day in 2017, Carla had been looking forward to pampering herself before her vacation with her husband. However, after six hours, she had only been able to get three services. She realized there had to be a more time efficient way for women to get their beauty services done. 


In today’s episode, we sit down with Carla Olivia, founder of Dash Bar, a revolutionary beauty bar that allows women to get multiple services done simultaneously so they are able to get back to their lives quicker. Carla talks about the process of starting Dash Bar, she gives marketing tips for Entreprenistas who have brick and mortar stores, she talks about the packages Dash Bar offers, and so much more. 


“We offer the highest level of quality services that impact women the most, that are efficient in the way that they're performed, but also maximize their investment.” - Carla Olivia

    • Our Favorite Quotes:

      • “So I started to do research in the market to figure out what type of beauty services were out there, what kind of furniture was out there that could allow for multiple services to be performed simultaneously, and what types of services could be combined.” - Carla Olivia
      • “What has surprised me the most is my resiliency. Either that or I'm a glutton for punishment. I haven't figured that quite out yet.” - Carla Olivia
      • “I think behind all the challenges, you have to allow yourself like those small wins, and really kind of pat yourself on the back and give yourself the opportunity to say to yourself, you know, I did a good job.” - Carla Olivia
