We recently connected with Debbie Williams and have shared our conversation below.
Alright, Debbie thanks for taking the time to share your stories and insights with us today. If you had a defining moment that you feel really changed the trajectory of your career, we’d love to hear the story and details.
I originally started my career as a cosmetologist who specialized in natural hair and extensions. Over the years, I noticed that many of my clients were experiencing hair loss and thinning although their hair was properly taken care of. I knew it had to be something bigger than hair so I recommended that they speak with their doctor because I knew it was something going on with my clients’ internal health. When their doctors kept telling them everything looks normal, I knew I had to take matters into my own hands and dig a little deeper. This led me to become a trichologist, a specialist who studies hair and scalp disorders. Through this journey, I was able to learn more about hair and scalp disorders such as alopecia, scalp dermatitis and psoriasis, male and female pattern baldness, and so much more. Although this journey helped me better educate my clients on what’s going on with their hair and scalp, it did not give me the “why” they are experiencing these hair and scalp issues. Again, I dug a little deeper, which led me to become a Board-Certified Nutritionist. This journey has led me to educate my clients and social media audience that hair health and internal health are all connected. I help them heal themselves holistically through natural remedies and recipes. The rest is history.
Debbie, before we move on to more of these sorts of questions, can you take some time to bring our readers up to speed on you and what you do?
My name is Debbie Williams, I am a licensed Hair Practitioner, Board-Certified Nutritionist, Educator, and Author. My education spans over 25 years of learning about hair and health. There is a true connection between your hair and your health. The fact is underlying health problems cause most hair and scalp problems. I have been studying ways to help women, men and children combat hair loss and scalp problems through natural remedies. I love my work, and I am very passionate about helping people restore their health naturally.
What do you think helped you build your reputation within your market?
Being my true authentic self and practicing what I preach.
Do you have any insights you can share related to maintaining high team morale?
It’s important to be a caring and adaptable leader. Listen to your team and their ideas. Always make them feel heard, seen, and praise them for doing great work. When your team feels valued, it keeps the morale of the business high.
