Today we’d like to introduce you to Hannah Keller.
Hi Hannah, please kick things off for us with an introduction to yourself and your story.
I started my hair journey in my small town in Mississippi. I have always been drawn to the beauty industry and even more drawn to meeting new people. I was sitting in a salon chair getting my hair done my senior year of high school. As I was looking around at all the hustle and bustle of the busy salon, women talking and music playing, I knew then I wanted to do this. It looked so fun!
Can you talk to us a bit about the challenges and lessons you’ve learned along the way. Looking back would you say it’s been easy or smooth in retrospect?
Like any job, nothing is a smooth road. But I worked long hours, came in when I didn’t have clients to watch and learn from my co workers and said yes to every opportunity. Then I had to do it all over again when I moved to Texas. One thing about being a hairstylist: if you move, it’s like starting over again to build a clientele.
Appreciate you sharing that. What should we know about Haven Hair Studio?
What I want people to know most about my business is that I have tried my best to make it a safe space for my clients. I have seen and heard it all from my clients over the past 11 years. I’ve been told about marriages, divorces, pregnancies, miscarriages, cancer diagnosis and everything in between. I want my clients to feel like I’m a safe haven. Hence the name of my salon. Everyone is welcome. I take pride in the connections and bonds I have built with these women. I specialize in haircuts and blonding and as funny as it may sound, I also specialize in being able to connect with these women through all of the good and bad.
Can you talk to us about how you think about risk?
I think opening a business is all about risk taking! I took the risk of moving from Mississippi to Texas in the middle of my career and starting over. I put all my faith in God and knew whatever His plan was, was what was best for my business and He didn’t fail me.
