Today we’d like to introduce you to Britney Jones.
Hi Britney, we’re thrilled to have a chance to learn your story today. So, before we get into specifics, maybe you can briefly walk us through how you got to where you are today?
I’ve been a cosmetologist for over a decade. I took a break to go to school for nursing & worked in healthcare for nearly a decade as well. The medical & hair industries are both passions of mine. I had no intention of getting into the hair loss industry but when family members started coming to me for answers, I had to figure it out. My vision for Bennett Beauty Solutions started out as an answer to the questions I was getting & it grew into a place for other black women dealing with hair loss, to come for answers & solutions. For the past few years, we have been serving women in Nashville & surrounding areas through our services, products, education, & support.
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?
It definitely hasn’t! I have such big goals for Bennett Beauty Solutions that I had to learn to slow down & really understand what was happening & what to do when building a business. I was eager to start & just jumped out there but it has taught me a lot. Building a business comes with many ups & downs, pivoting moments, & things beyond your control. I would say learning when to redirect my focus & what to prioritize were my biggest obstacles.

We’d love to hear about how you think about risk taking?
I believe anyone who starts a business is a risk taker. There is no guarantee it will work but betting on yourself is always a risk….but worth it. As I mentioned before, I just jumped out there. I had no clients. I just went & leased a space & hit the ground running. I don’t advise that for everyone, but I had an idea of where I was trying to go & I wasn’t afraid to make changes. There were people who didn’t understand what I was doing or why, but I knew what I wanted so I stuck with it. Some of the risk cost me money, time, & mental exhaustion but once I refocused & made the right adjustments, it came together.
