In your own words, please write a paragraph about how the owner or partners got interested in starting this business. Is the owner the first person in their family to own a business? Did they have a career before starting this business? Were there any specific challenges they faced in opening or keeping the business open?

I worked in a factory for 24 years making hair clippers and parts for blow dryers, and flat irons. I wanted to do more than, help customers behind the scenes, I wanted to be up close and personal with people and truly be able to see the looks on their faces whether they’re happy or sad. I always knew there was more to accomplish than just being behind four walls in a building, I’ve had compassion for helping people.

I would help my coworkers out all the time being there for them mentally and sometimes physically so, with that being I always had a caring heart for people and I wanted to make a difference in my community, like volunteering etc. With this business, I can help people hands-on and truly be there for people in their time of need.
