My hairstylist opened her own salon.
It’s her, and an accountant who does her taxes a few times a year. That’s the whole company.
So on a Tuesday she’s got one woman in the chair with colour processing, another one mid-cut, the phone going, and a supplier at the door waiting for a signature.
She didn’t open a salon to do that.
She opened it to do hair. And to talk to people — she knows who’s getting married, who’s just left someone, whose kid started school. She’s a hairdresser and half a therapist and she’s very good at both.
She’s also, by accident, the receptionist. The logistics manager. The entire marketing department.
She hasn’t posted anything in months. Every client she has arrived because somebody else recommended her — I’ve sent two myself. She’s one of the best in this city and most of it has no idea she exists.
That’s the part that gets me.
