Today we’d like to introduce you to Kiara Butler.
Hi Kiara, so excited to have you on the platform. So before we get into questions about your work-life, maybe you can bring our readers up to speed on your story and how you got to where you are today?
I am Kiara Butler, and I am originally from Nashville, Tennessee. I am hairstylist, and proud owner of Salon BOS 3 in Hermitage, Tennessee. My journey began at the age of 16, doing hair for family and friends. I’m very passionate about doing hair ,and doing hair changed my life. With 14 years of experience in the beauty industry, I am proud of how far I have come. My journey hasn’t always been easy, but through hard work, determination, and believing in myself, I never gave up.
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?
There has definitely been bumps in the road. One of my biggest challenges was learning balance. Building a brand and staying consistent through the ups and downs isn’t easy. There was definitely moments of uncertainty, but every challenge has taught me patience, resilience, and the importance of trusting the process. Those experiences have shaped me into the woman and entrepreneur I am today.
Alright, so let’s switch gears a bit and talk business. What should we know about your work?
I currently specialize in hair extension services, including sew-in installs, quick weave installs, and natural hair care. I’m best known for the soft, natural-looking hairstyles I create and the attention to detail I put into my work. I believe there is always room for growth, so I make it a priority to continue learning, perfecting my craft, and sharing my knowledge with others. After all these years in the beauty industry, my passion and dedication still remain the foundation of everything I do. Looking back on my journey, I am proud of everything I have accomplished. I know there is still so much more ahead of me. I continue to set the bar higher for myself, challenge myself to reach new goals, and never settle for where I am. I’m always striving for more, and that’s something I am truly proud of.
Networking and finding a mentor can have such a positive impact on one’s life and career. Any advice?
When I first started in the beauty industry, networking was a big part of getting my name out there. I attended hair shows, entered competitions, and took classes to connect with experienced stylists. Although I didn’t have a mentor, I believe mentorship can be very beneficial. My advice to upcoming hairstylists is to never be afraid to reach out to a stylist you admire and ask do they offer mentorship or teach classes. The beauty industry is constantly evolving, never stop learning. Stay consistent, and remember that success doesn’t happen overnight. Everyone’s journey is different, enjoy yours!
