From a salon owner to virtual assistant

Thank you for taking the time to consider The Beauty Boss VA  to help you on your business journey. My name is Kara and I have been in the beauty industry for the last 16 years, 10 of those as a salon owner & leader. I started my very first business at the age of 18 when I started to offer nail services from home, while studying beauty therapy. Once I graduated I moved into the salon industry but the desire to have my own business was still strong. After just 18months in a salon and at the ripe old age of 21, I set up my very own Ella Bache Franchise. We began the salon with no database, a small team of therapists but a strong desire to succeed. After many years of finding my feet and learning as much as possible, our salon began to turn over 7 figures and employed 11 team members. I only worked in the business from home, and had a team of managers running the day to day operations for me, so I could focus on my family and my business skills.  

During my time as a business owner I learnt a lot about what to do and what not to do. Being naive and thinking having a franchise would automatically mean I wouldn’t have to worry about learning how to run a business, I very quickly realised I needed to learn as much as I could. I know how important it is to be able to ask for help and employee a team to guide and support you on your journey. Since selling my business I have continued to grow and learn. Spending time advancing my skills, both in business, marketing and design. I am also a strong believer in personal growth and development and will continue to always work on my own mindset and abilities.

My goal is to now to help other business owners reach their goals, all while taking away some of the pressure and overwhelm that I know can often be too much. There’s always so many things to tick off that to-do list and that’s where The Beauty Boss VA can step in to help.

Having someone who can assist you in areas that aren’t your passion or strength can make a world of difference to your business. There’s often those ‘I’ll get to that later’ tasks that we never seem to get to, because we either don’t know how or other things, just seem to take priority. But if we do have someone who can help and do the job well, our business can grow immensely.

So if you are looking for someone who knows and understands what it’s like to be a business owner, has experience in what it takes to grow a beauty business successfully and would like more TIME to enjoy the journey of being an entrepreneur, I’d love for you to contact me to see how I can help you further.
