PEARL PODCAST

I get asked all the time how OPAL started? On todays poodcast, I fill you in on the whole backstory of my journey to entrepreneurship. How I got in the industry, the challenges I've faced, stories of, hardwork, determination, and of course faith, trust, and pixie dust!

When you have a vision, you can't sleep until you bring it to life. When you decide to start a business, it becomes your life, which leads to more visions, and a lot less sleep. One of the most important pieces of advice I could give to any entrepreneur would be to remember your company's mission, values, and ethics, or if those aren't set in stone yet base it on your personal values and ethics, even if it comes at the cost of profitability or more work. Thats exactly what Ashley Stone has done with Beauty Entourage, while using the software she created to give freelance artists the work they desire, yet the freedom to go out on their own, while paying them above market rate and sharing profits with them.

Ashley talks about how she grew her business from the ground up, and her life before becoming an entrepreneur. 

Being in hair school is hard, and knowing what to do after or where to go can be even more difficult. On todays show I sit down with my newest employee, to talk about how she navigated finding her hair home after school, and what best fit her needs.

On today's Podcast I have two of my stylists, Sammy + Corie discussing the importance of creating your energy on social media. It is an important tool to use as a stylist because it's how you convey not only your work, but who you are as a person and the energy you want people to see.

On Today's episode, I'm chatting with other stylist's (Sammy & Rachel) and asking how they find a work life balance. Finding a work life balance is unique for each individual, but key to a succesful happy career behind the chair. You shouldn't feel guilty for taking time for you. It is essential to have self time, so your able to give clients your full capabilities.
