We were lucky to catch up with Kady Bella recently and have shared our conversation below.
Kady, appreciate you joining us today. Along with taking care of clients, taking care of our team is one of the most important things we can do as leaders. Looking back on your journey, did you have a boss that was really great? Maybe you can tell us about that boss and what made them a wonderful person to work for?
I happen to be the best boss I’ve ever had. While I am forever grateful and indebted to my mentor Derek, I must say that I enjoy being my own boss, more than working for anyone else ever. It feels amazing to go into work every day feeling free to be myself and create my best work for my amazing clients.
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 got into the hair industry because I love beauty. I love looking at beautiful things. I appreciate them so much. I also love creating beautiful things. When a person feels beautiful, they tend to spread that beauty.
Any insights you can share with us about how you built up your social media presence?
I built my social media by being myself. I started my main page @kadybella in 2014 and used it for mostly hair photos until I left my old salon in 2018 when I was finally able to start showing more of myself. My old boss didn’t like me promoting business and modeling on the same page but modeling actually is business and helped me grow a following way faster than hair alone did. I made a separate page in 2021 @kadybellahair because I decided I wanted to separate the two so that clients can have a nice portfolio to look at aside from my original page.
Can you tell us about what’s worked well for you in terms of growing your clientele?
Instagram & word of mouth! My clients are my walking canvases.
