We were lucky to catch up with Shawnicee Gentry recently and have shared our conversation below.

Alright, Shawnicee thanks for taking the time to share your stories and insights with us today. If you could go back in time do you wish you had started your business sooner or later

I’m currently 7 years in my bunnies this year so I was 21 when I started. i went right to a university after graduating high school after 2 years a Lincoln university and then 1 semester at the community college I decided what I was taking was not what I wanted todo for the rest of my life. It didn’t take me long to decide to enroll in cosmetology school. During that time I was working small jobs to pay for the apartment I was staying in. If I had started sooner I honestly don’t think I would of been as focused in order excel in my career like I did once graduating when I did. I started my schooling at Pau Mitchell the school st louis. I was about 75 percent done with my program when due to unfortunate event I had to leave. I was so sad I thought my career was over before it even began. There were not many school that would accept hours from another school. Which meant I would have to start all the way over after coming to far. Luckily I was about to start back school just a few months later. Looking back I do not wish I sctsratede any sooner than I did because I was at the right place in my life to excel and focus on my dream career.
