O TYM ODCINKU
Kelly Swann started out as an apprentice Oasis Curl Salon. Originally she knew nothing about the art of hair styling. She was a great student and went on to have her own salon in Denver, Colorado.
Shortly after taking ownership of her own salon, Let Em Have It, in Denver, Colorado, Kelly and her team experienced a terrible tragedy. She reflects on how they coped–and didn’t, maybe–and what absorbing such a heartbreak means for a salon that is deeply interwoven in their community, including the clients as well as the stylists. On this episode, Kelly and Wafaya reflect on the deep commitment stylists like them feel to their clients and each other, the preciousness of students who challenge you, and what “swavy” girl Kelly has learned about the difference between, and caring for, curls and waves alike. Kelly and Wafaya explore the rewards of leading with love for clients and coworkers alike, the magic of seeing someone fall in love with themselves, tips for other young and ambitious business owners, and how the more we learn, the less we know.
