Today we’d like to introduce you to LeBrina Johnson.
Thanks for sharing your story with us LeBrina. So, let’s start at the beginning and we can move on from there.
Wow! Ok, where do I start? I am a single mom college drop out. No one in my family graduated from college. I’ve been an entrepreneur since the age of 21 working in a hair salon. My ultimate dream was to own a spa someday because I was completely obsessed with the idea of pampering, being pampered and all around wellness. I was pretty much forced to survive and figure out life, due to the fact that my mom and dad were doing the same thing. Trying to figure out their lives. Unfortunately, my parents divorced when I was two. I traded in my jewelry in 2017 and started my business. At the time I started my business I was in a very unhappy place, but yet motivated. I went through a bad break up at the beginning of going into my business. In those moments I was very scared but still driven. Raising a son in a single parent household I knew I was taking a risk with walking away from a stable relationship with a 7-year-old. In my heart, I still had my mind and just a dream. I figured what did I really have to lose at that point. So, I jumped in! How I hired my team, in the beginning, you would never imagine. My cousin and I did interviews in Whole Foods food court. I was so very nervous due to the fact I had never hired a soul in my life. Fast forward to now, my spa is staffed with 10 and in the first year, the spa made 6 figures! I am so very grateful and blessed beyond measures. Great customer service to our guest is always #1. We like to call it the Safe haven for self-care and self-love. This is just our first location, next stop Dallas. My ultimate goal is to have five total. I love what I do and it’s my passion to make others feel great about themselves.
Has it been a smooth road?
The struggle has been keeping my team on the same page as a tribe to speak the same language. Teamwork will always make the dream work. But I think to become one is the toughest part when you’re all so different.
So let’s switch gears a bit and go into the Pure Strandz Beauty story. Tell us more about the business.
What we specialize in is Skincare and Massage therapy. We are most proud to be respected for great customer service and a 5-star company on different platforms such as Facebook, Yahoo, Google, etc. I think what sets us apart from other businesses is the care and personable relationships we have with our guest.
How do you think the industry will change over the next decade?
I see my industry continuing to grow like crazy. Wellness never goes out of style. Neither does beauty. 🙂
