Ep. 115: 2x Emmy Award Winning Hair Stylist, Kiyah Wright, Shares Her 7 Proven Success Principles In Her New Book
Kiyah is a two-time Emmy Award-winning celebrity hairstylist and Image Maker with over two decades of hair care experience and knowledge. In a career that started with doing hair in her grandmother’s basement, Kiyah Wright parlayed her talent and business savvy to become not only one of Hollywood’s most in-demand celebrity hairstylists, but also a successful beauty expert and entrepreneur.
In her new book, From Beauty to Business: The Guaranteed Strategy to Building, Running, and Growing a Successful Beauty Business (out May 2022), Kiyah lays out the crucial success strategies and lessons not taught in beauty schools such as managing your finances, branding, marketing, product distribution, the power of social media, and more. Filled with inspirational and relatable stories from someone who has been there, this practical, one-of-a-kind sourcebook is a vital educational resource for beauty professionals at all stages of their career.
I had such a wonderful time chatting with Kiyah. I’ve been following her for years on Instagram so it was an absolute treat to finally meet her. In this interview Kiyah shares:
-The 7 proven success principles that helped her to achieve her goals
-How to diversify with different streams of income
-The importance of financial literacy and the financial lessons she had to learn the hard way
-Why you should have gratitude for the journey
-Preparing your mindset for success
-Why you should know your banker
-And tons of business resources + advice
This is over 20 years of experience talking to us on this episode. One of the things I was excited about too is that Kiyah is a DC girl! So anytime I see someone that’s successful from where I’m from it gets me hyped.
So get ready to take some notes and let’s go ahead and jump into this chat with Kiyah Wright and if you prefer to watch our beautiful faces then tune in on YouTube.
