Ashley sits down with stylist and salon owner Amber Spurlock of Golden Hour Salon Studio to talk courage, calling, and commercial real estate. After 20 years behind the chair, Amber took a faith-fueled leap—leaving the only salon she’d ever known to purchase and renovate a historic 1912 building (formerly Berea’s jail and city hall!). They cover the nudge to start a business, navigating historic-property remodels, timelines, and practical advice for anyone considering buying their own space.
