We welcome on Kimi and Michael creators of Sole Business Solutions, a new Ai business coach who specializes in helping independent beauty pros! Kimi has been an ambassador for Sola Salons since the very beginning. She was the first EVER Sola suite owner in Denver, Colorado. Michael was, and still is, Kimi's business coach for her salon; this sparked an idea for an Ai coaching platform that knows the beauty industry front and back.

Ariana is from Mexico and grew her jewelry business just 9 miles away from our Otay Ranch Sola location in Chula Vista, California. She tells her inspiring story about moving her business across the border and hopefully empowers more beauty professionals to walk the same path. Ariana never gave up on her dreams but also, never forgets where she came from. 

She was kind enough to record a summery of this podcast in Spanish as well! 

Hope you enjoy and thank you for listening!
