Today we’d like to introduce you to Anita David
Hi Anita, so excited to have you with us today. What can you tell us about your story?
I knew I wanted to do hair since I was 12years of age. Grew up between the Middle East and DC area. I complete cosmetology school at renowned school in DC after dropping out of college to pursue what I love to do. I’m now 20 years in and started my salon during the pandemic and have been open for 3yrs & 7 months. It was a long road to get here.
Alright, so let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall and if not, what were the challenges you’ve had to overcome?
It was very tough to do especially because I had the worst contractor and as a female not really having the support that most have. These past 4 years I’ve had all the obstacles thrown at me. Losing my cousin, my dad, running a business on my own, trying to find balance has been the toughest thing. I don’t think there is such a thing as a bigness owner. It’s not for everyone and I don’t encourage it lol. It’s something all entrepreneurs throw themselves into but is all a great learning experience. Learning to become a leader and all the things you don’t think about when you become a business owner. My love for interior decorating was brought more to the surface after the complete remodel of my new salon space with New York industrial loft vibes.
