KEY TAKEAWAYS:
🔅Start before you feel ready — Jahnaya graduated the week D.C. shut down but kept moving forward, taking clients from home and turning uncertainty into opportunity.
🔅Adapt quickly and strategically — When her salon job offer vanished overnight, she pivoted to a home setup, stayed compliant with safety limitations, and kept serving clients with professionalism.
🔅Invest in yourself through education — From cosmetology school to ongoing classes, Jahnaya proves that independent stylists must replace salon training with self-driven learning to stay sharp.
🔅Make customer service your superpower — Clear communication, comfort, and care helped her grow from three to sixty clients—proof that great service builds stronger referrals than social media alone.
🔅Be resourceful with what you have — She started with one salon chair, a mat, and minimal tools, showing that success comes from creativity and consistency, not a large budget.
🔅Connect beauty with wellness — Her holistic approach blends hair care with mindset and emotional health, emphasizing that inner well-being directly impacts hair health.
🔅Dream beyond the chair — Jahnaya’s long-term vision of a community-centered wellness space reminds stylists to see their career as a platform for larger impact, not just income.
