We had the good fortune of connecting with Keyshaun Thomas and we’ve shared our conversation below.
Hi Keyshaun, we’d love to hear more about how you thought about starting your own business?
In embarking on my entrepreneurial journey with my loc business, several key elements have significantly shaped my path. Firstly, a deep passion for promoting natural hair care and celebrating the unique beauty of locs has been a driving force. Additionally, my commitment to providing a personalized and quality experience for clients has guided my business approach. Continuous learning, adaptability, and staying attuned to industry trends have also been integral, ensuring that my services remain innovative and relevant. Building a strong network and fostering community engagement have played vital roles, creating a supportive environment for both clients and fellow entrepreneurs. Overall, it’s the combination of passion, commitment, adaptability, continuous learning, and community-building that has been the cornerstone of my entrepreneurial journey.
What should our readers know about your business?
Certainly! My business stands out in the realm of natural hair care, particularly specializing in locs, by combining a passion for authentic beauty with a commitment to personalized service. What sets us apart is not just the skillful execution of loc services but the emphasis on creating a unique and empowering experience for each client.
I take immense pride in the supportive community we’ve cultivated around the brand. It’s not merely a transactional relationship; it’s a journey we embark on together with our clients. The genuine connections forged during this process are what make our brand distinctive.
The path to where I am today wasn’t without challenges. Building a business is inherently challenging, especially in a competitive market. However, each obstacle became an opportunity for growth. Staying adaptable, learning from setbacks, and consistently delivering quality services helped overcome these challenges.
Key lessons learned include the importance of resilience, adaptability, and the significance of genuine connections in business. Building a brand is not just about the services offered; it’s about the relationships formed along the way.
I want the world to know that my brand is more than a service provider; it’s a community that celebrates individuality and embraces the journey of self-expression through natural hair. It’s a testament to the transformative power of embracing one’s unique beauty and the joy that comes with it.
If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
For a thrilling night out on the town with my best friend, we’d kick off the evening at a vibrant downtown area.
After dinner, we’d venture to a rooftop bar with panoramic city views. Sipping on creative cocktails, we’d soak in the city lights and relish the energetic vibe.
Following our time at the rooftop bar, we might explore a neighborhood known for its nightlife. Whether it’s a chic lounge with live music, a dance club with infectious beats, or a cozy speakeasy for a more intimate setting, we’d choose a spot that matches our mood for the night.
As the night unfolds, we’d embrace the spontaneity of the city, possibly stumbling upon a street festival, art exhibit, or impromptu performance.
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?
The support of my family and friends has been an invaluable pillar throughout my business journey. Their encouragement and belief in my vision have provided unwavering emotional support, especially during the initial stages of establishing the business. The collaborative spirit within my family has created a foundation of trust and understanding, allowing me to navigate challenges with confidence. Their unwavering backing has not only strengthened my resolve but also fostered a sense of shared achievement, turning my entrepreneurial journey into a family venture.
