Reflections from Year One: Growth, Balance & What’s Next
One Year In: Lessons from Running My Home-Based Salon As I reach my salon’s first anniversary, I’ve been reflecting on what this past year has taught me — not just about hair, but about balance, boundaries, and business ownership. When I opened my salon, built right onto the front of my home, my goal was to offer fair, consistent pricing and the kind of flexible scheduling that makes life easier for clients.
