We’re excited to introduce you to the always interesting and insightful Kaprice Tropnas. We hope you’ll enjoy our conversation with Kaprice below.

Kaprice, thanks for joining us, excited to have you contributing your stories and insights. Alright, so you had your idea and then what happened? Can you walk us through the story of how you went from just an idea to executing on the idea

It all began when I faced the dual challenge of putting my son through private school while working in the medical field. Juggling these responsibilities, I discovered my passion for hairstyling. Inspired by a friend’s sister who owned a salon, I decided to turn my passion into a business.

Starting with the basics learned from her, I took the leap and enrolled in hair school to perfect my craft. Being an introvert, I initially focused on children as clients to ease into the role. As word spread, parents inquired about additional services, prompting me to step out of my comfort zone and cater to adults.

My background in dermatology proved invaluable, offering insights into hair loss, scalp care, and related issues. Armed with this knowledge, I quickly expanded my clientele, and that’s when Exquisite Hair Designs LLC took root. The journey is a tapestry of personal growth, overcoming fears, and turning a passion into a thriving brand.

Awesome – so before we get into the rest of our questions, can you briefly introduce yourself to our readers.

I entered the hairstyling industry due to a personal need while working in the medical field, finding my passion for hairstyling along the way. My business, Exquisite Hair Designs LLC, provides a range of hairstyling services with a unique touch.

I specialize in addressing not just the aesthetic aspects but also drawing on my dermatology background to offer solutions for hair loss, scalp care, and related concerns. What sets me apart is the combination of creativity and in-depth knowledge, creating an experience that goes beyond traditional hairstyling.

I take pride in the journey from being an introvert hesitant to take adult clients to establishing a brand that reflects expertise, care, and a commitment to client satisfaction. Potential clients and followers should know that my work is not just about hairstyles; it’s a blend of artistry and scientific understanding, ensuring a comprehensive approach to hair care.

We’d love to hear the story of how you turned a side-hustle into a something much bigger.

In a span of just 5 months, I successfully transitioned my side hustle into my primary profession. The initiation of my hairstyling venture at a salon during weekends stemmed from the deliberate choice to enroll my child in private education. Recognizing the pivotal need for a more conducive learning environment after spending a day at middle school with him, I committed to salon work to ensure both financial stability and support for his educational journey.

His enrollment in private school persisted from 8th grade until his graduation last year—an achievement that fills me with pride. The growth of my business accelerated as clients witnessed my skill set and genuine passion for hair and scalp care. After three years, I confidently departed from the salon environment to establish my independent brand.

Can you tell us about what’s worked well for you in terms of growing your clientele?

The most impactful approach to expanding my clientele has been the power of word-of-mouth. The positive experiences shared by satisfied clients have been instrumental in bringing new individuals to my chair. Moreover, establishing a strong online presence, particularly on Google, has allowed potential clients to easily discover and connect with my services. It’s a blend of personal recommendations and digital visibility that has fueled the growth of my clientele.
