We were lucky to catch up with Tyler Stargell recently and have shared our conversation below.

Tyler , looking forward to hearing all of your stories today. Owning a business isn’t always glamorous and so most business owners we’ve connected with have shared that on tough days they sometimes wonder what it would have been like to have just had a regular job instead of all the responsibility of running a business. Have you ever felt that way?

Being a business owner isn’t easy at all. At times as a stylist(braider) , we have slow seasons. In that time money isn’t flowing like it does in the summer etc. As a business owner there are times where I contemplate getting a job just for money purposes ! Once you sit back and think about the pros and cons, for me the cons always help me understand why I became a entrepreneur! I don’t have to ask for permission I just do it !

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 started braiding at the age of 16 for a way of income. Being on my own At such a young age , I had to figure out a way to survive. But I did it ! As time went on I began to fall in the love with the overall thought of changing peoples looks. I’ve taken classes , made in investments in my work , just to get better and better ! I pride myself on quality work. I am One of Atlanta elite braiders ! I also make & sell hair growth oil , bonnets , and more. When coming to experience a luxury braiding service , you have no worries ! I have a wide range of clients from all backgrounds of life. Braids are suitable for any occasion! At Krayve hair studio I strive to ensure each clients hair remains healthy even when wearing braids.

Any insights you can share with us about how you built up your social media presence?

To Build an audience you must be relatable! Let people in on your life and your journey ! Showing people that practicing my craft was ok , it gave people reassurance that I was willing to practice each style until I got it down to a science.
