Interested in starting your own entrepreneurial journey in personal care but unsure what to expect? Then read up on our interview with Ronnie Dag, co-owner of Palm Sunday, located in Toronto, ON, Canada.

What's your business, and who are your customers?

Palm Sunday is a hair salon. Our guests are our community, who inspire us all on a daily basis. We strive to cultivate relationships based on expression and authenticity with everyone who walks through our doors, be it in our virtual space or physical space.

Tell us about yourself

My Partner Kat Marcus and I created Palm Sunday in 2013 as an outlet to manifest the change we wanted to see in our industry. We sought to change some old practices and dismantle the hierarchy we felt coming up as young stylists in our earlier days. Creating spaces that allow for exponential growth in new talent is highly rewarding for us.

What's your biggest accomplishment as a business owner?

I'm most proud of our team; we have been so blessed to have attracted such incredible artists who have been with us for many years. Being able to support other artists and help new talent navigate their way in this hair world means a lot!

What's one of the hardest things that come with being a business owner?

Being resilient to literally anything & everything while wearing many hats!!

What are the top tips you'd give to anyone looking to start, run and grow a business today?

  1. Talk about it to everyone - makes you accountable for your ideas.
  2. Don't overthink it - just do it.
  3. Don't forget to take time off - rest is just as important as the grind.

Is there anything else you'd like to share?

Palm Sunday was honored this year as one of the Top 200 salons in North America. We are also launching our Blonde Book website very soon; stay tuned!!!
