  • 026 • Let’s Talk Essential Oil Safety

    As henna artists, we're so used to adding essential oils that many of us, whether knowingly or unknowingly, approach essential oils like we would approach sugar or what tea to use in our paste or whatever, and look, using essential oils inside of our henna paste is certainly one of the ways that you can produce rich stains for your clients, but you can't overlook what these products are.

    An essential oil is a concentrated hydrophobic liquid that contains volatile chemical compounds from plants, period. That is what it is.

    And so, if you're using essential oils inside of your paste and using that paste on clients, you need to be super aware of essential oil safety.

          While journaling about my intentions for 2021 and reflecting on a decade of being in business, I came to further clarity about the culture around work that I want to cultivate for myself, as well as the legacy that I want to leave behind.

              • 020 • Managing Negative Self Talk as a Business Owner

                To be honest, I felt some real hesitation when I decided to record this episode. It's not that I'm averse to speaking about mental health issues, but to do so on a platform where your voice echoes in someone else's ears and you don't have the opportunity to read their face or perceive their reaction felt a little bit daunting. But you guys know me, I believe in doing the things that scare us, and I'm willing as ever to lead by example. So, today I'm opening up about one of the more intimate aspects of being a hennapreneur: negative self-talk. From self-doubt, feelings of unworthiness, and the ever-present mom guilt, I'm sharing how I've learned to cope with and combat negative self talk as a business owner and individual.

                  • 018 • The Importance of Niching Down as a Henna Artist

                    I hear it time and time again: "Chelsea, if I say that I specialize in this type of work, then I'll be cutting out the rest of the market. No one will hire me for that that of work, even though I do that, too." Fear. The fear of turning away clients because you've put a stake in the ground regarding what you want to be known for is super common. (And it's also a commonly made mistake in terms of business strategy.) In this week’s episode, I’m sharing why niching down in your henna business -- or selecting a specialization -- benefits your business to the tune of less competition, more brand recognition, and (of course) more profitability in the long run.
