My business is K. Blair Hair, where we focus on inspiring the nurturing of natural hair through protective styling, education, and proper maintenance for women in all walks of life. My job is to provide styles that gives women their time back! That hour or 2 that you would have spent doing your hair, now they can use that time for hobbies, family, friends, or just some extra sleep lol. I pride myself on being a full-service stylist. When my clients come to my studio, they are going to get their hair shampooed, conditioned, blowdried, trimmed, and styled. Getting to this point was nothing short of DIFFICULT. There were days, months, years, that I have been BROKE BROKE. When I was first building my clientele, I was doing hair for free and staying up all hours of the night, just to get my name out there! This was before social media time, so i really had to work hard to market myself, especially as a young girl with little to no credibility. That work I was putting in, started to pay off because I started being “booked” in high school. I was getting a lot of business but I still didn’t have professional business practices. I was doing hair in my living room, on the floor, eating, taking breaks, etc. But as time went on, I slowly upgraded throughout the years with little to no financial investment. I got professional tools, accurate scheduling, policies, and now my own studio! My most important lesson learned, was that its okay to start right where you are, and grow! Now, my work has been seen on places like BET, The Today Show, The Shade Room, News Channels, etc. I am humbled and extremely grateful for my growth! That’s what I’m all about. - Kathryn “Kat” Blair Hair Stylist
