Interested in starting your own entrepreneurial journey in personal care but unsure what to expect? Then read up on our interview with Destiny Johnson, Founder of Destiny's Place, located in Omaha, NE, USA.
What's your business, and who are your customers?
Destiny's Place is a boutique salon located in Omaha, Nebraska. We specialize in serving the naturally curly hair community with an emphasis on a 1 on 1 VIP experience.
Tell us about yourself
I grew up in a salon. My mom owned a salon for most of my life. When my family moved, I decided that it was finally time for me to learn how to take care of my own hair. Teaching tight curly girls the true potential of their hair and how simple it can be to care for it is what motivates me every day.
What's your biggest accomplishment as a business owner?
Recently, I had a client who has been natural for about six years and never wears her hair out. When she looked in the mirror at the end of the appointment, she cried and said her hair was beautiful. She hasn't worn a wig or weave since. I don't think I can top that!
What's one of the hardest things that come with being a business owner?
Trying to be a content creator, photographer, editor, and all things social media.
What are the top tips you'd give to anyone looking to start, run and grow a business today?
- Get an accountant.
- Enjoy the journey as much as the destination. You'll improve at everything if you just start.
- Don't be afraid to be a niche business. It's hard to be good at every style.
