We recently connected with Doniesha Sanders and have shared our conversation below.
Doniesha , appreciate you joining us today. Can you talk to us about a risk you’ve taken – walk us through the story?
With no other source of income, I decided to dive headfirst into the world of hairstyling. Offering $20 wraps and $40 color services, I knew the risks were high, especially with numerous established stylists already in the area.
Despite the odds, I was determined to make a mark. I rented a small space and transformed it into a cozy, welcoming salon. The affordable prices and personalized service began to attract clients who appreciated the quality and care that I put into each style.
Word spread quickly, and the salon started to gain a loyal following. Clients loved the unique touch and dedication that I brought to their hair. The risk of starting with nothing but a dream and a passion for hairstyling turned into a thriving business, proving that with determination and hard work, anything is possible.
Great, appreciate you sharing that with us. Before we ask you to share more of your insights, can you take a moment to introduce yourself and how you got to where you are today to our readers.
I had faced many challenges and made some bad decisions in life. At one point, these choices led to time in jail. However, I knew that life had more to offer and was determined to turn things around. With a background that was often held against me I turned to the one skill I knew best and that was doing hair.
From the day of release, I was dedicated themselves to building an empire for my children and I . Starting with nothing but a flat iron and a dream, I worked tirelessly to create a name in the hairstyling world. Each snip and every color application was a step towards a brighter future.
Through hard work, perseverance, and an unwavering belief in their abilities, I transformed my life. The journey from incarceration to entrepreneurship wasn’t easy, but it was a testament to my strength and determination to succeed.
Any stories or insights that might help us understand how you’ve built such a strong reputation?
My dedication and passion for hairstyling, despite the challenges I faced, truly set me apart in the hair world. My commitment to building my empire from the ground up, one client at a time, showcased my talent and perseverance. It’s the hard work, unique touch, and personalized service that has helped me build up a reputation as a hairstylist to be reckoned with.
What’s worked well for you in terms of a source for new clients?
The best source of new clients is definitely word of mouth! When your clients love what you do, they can’t help but tell their friends and family. Social media’s also a game changer—showcasing your work on platforms like Facebook , Instagram and Tik Tok can attract new clients too. Plus, building a strong online presence and engaging with your audience can really help you grow your clientele.
