Mercedes, thanks for joining us, excited to have you contributing your stories and insights. What’s the backstory behind how you came up with the idea for your business?

As a little girl i always seen myself as a hairstylist. I use to do my Barbie’s hair, my mother’s hair, anybody who would allow me to do so. One day i went on a fast & asked God to reveal my purpose to me and it’s funny because he came back and said it’s hair i need you to go set the foundation & ima bring the people & i said oh no absolutely not. Let me ask in a different way. My answered remained the same so I’ve been pursuing it every since.

As always, we appreciate you sharing your insights and we’ve got a few more questions for you, but before we get to all of that can you take a minute to introduce yourself and give our readers some of your back background and context?

I went to cosmetology school in high school and graduated. Once i graduated high school i started working at a little girl spa named Simply Spa’riffik. I was there for 3 years then i switched over & went into the medical field to learn the medical side of hair to understand better.

How did you build your audience on social media?

When it comes to my content, i try to remain relatable. I want to give an attention grabber to keep my audience engaged.

What do you think helped you build your reputation within your market?
