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

Hi Yamilet, what was your thought process behind starting your own business?
I was always that girl in high school doing someone’s hair and makeup, I knew the beauty industry was for me! After graduating from cosmetology school, I started working in a small salon, where I slowly took clients and taught myself from trail and error. It was not easy but I slowly started to improve my work during that time I began a family and I knew that I needed a work life balance career. Owning my salon suite made it possible for me not only to set my own prices but my own schedule. Which is a big priority when you have kids, it made it possible for me to be there in the moments that matter the most. I love what I do it gives me the opportunity to make a living and also bring happiness to my clients when they need it the most! You look great you feel great!

Let’s talk shop? Tell us more about your career, what can you share with our community?
As a latina owned salon, I specialize in working with dark level hair color clients, in color correcting/ blonding services. Custom color on all textures. I also offer haircuts and treatment services, providing not only great quality products but prioritizing my clients hair integrity!
