We had the good fortune of connecting with Remicha Carter and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Remicha, is there a quote or affirmation that’s meaningful to you?
I sure do! “It’s always seems impossible until it’s done”- Nelson Mandela. These are just truly inspiring words. They say to me that the only thing standing between myself and the impossible to try. It encourages me to try when things seem hopeless, and even when I feel helpless. When I think of these words I’m energized and encouraged to press pass barriers that seem to be impassable and keep going until the impossible becomes a reality.

Alright, so for those in our community who might not be familiar with your business, can you tell us more?
Today I am the Master stylist and owner of Remi’s Salon and the CEO of Remi Beauty Holdings LLC. Remi’s Salon is an excitingly unique endeavor, in that, it is a texture specialized salon, focused on hair health, and revitalization. I like to say, Curly or straight we don’t discriminate. As a texture specialist I’m both educated and experienced in caring for a multitude of hair types. The salons signature service is the Brazilian Blowout, an incredibly effective treatment for decreasing frizz and defining curls in this Houston humidity.
Remi Beauty holdings evolved from a need to create affordable workspace for solopreneurs who were building their brands and providing beauty services and just grew from there.
The parent company now has five subsidiaries whose offerings range from business-to-business services, like the leasing and managing salon suites, to professional products and services offered direct to consumers including cosmetics, hair care product and hair extensions.
I think what sets us apart from others is a commitment to quality and service. Whether to the clients who visit Remi’s Salon, or the tenant’s doing business in one the salon suites, Remi’s is committed to doing the best, giving the best and never compromising quality.
No! None of this was easy. Remi’s was birthed from heart ache. Honestly, I spotted my first salon location with tears in my eyes looking for an affordable apartment for my daughter and I after a marriage had ended. Instead of an apartment I found as salon, and with that I found self-sufficiency and regained self-confidence. I found my passion! And so, Remi’s goes beyond hair care, to just caring, from providing services that help people look and feel their best to helping other business owners realize their dreams.

If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
Well, I’m a big fan of music and food so I’d check out Phil & Derek’s. The music is great, and the vibe is perfect! We’d have to go visit to the Galleria but then to go Ross hopping. I supposed we’d spend and evening downtown, maybe catch a show Midtown Arts theater or the Hobby center. The cool thing about Houston is that there is always something going on.

The Shoutout series is all about recognizing that our success and where we are in life is at least somewhat thanks to the efforts, support, mentorship, love and encouragement of others. So is there someone that you want to dedicate your shoutout to?
First off, I owe any level of success I’ve achieved to GOD and his wonderful grace. I’d love to dedicate this shout out to the family, and friends he’s placed in my life, who have supported me personally and supported my business. I’m tremendously blessed to the have the parents, siblings, aunts, uncles, cousins, daughter and niece that I have. It’s not every family who would support a decision to leave the workforce and build a business, but through every season of this journey several of my family members, encouraged, advised, prayed, paid and even shampooed to help. My family is the picture of love in action, and I truly appreciate them.
I’m also blessed with world-class clients who, are just wonderful! I have the good fortune of pampering some of the most warm and genuine women on the planet. Encouraging does not began to describe the value they add to my life.
Finally, I’m thankful to the salon family at both Uptown Salon Suites, Remi’s Salon and What-a-treat Studio. We’ve just became a family of women led businesses pushing forward and sharing our collective knowledge is a large part of our success.
