Ashley King shared their story and experiences with us recently and you can find our conversation below.
Ashley , so good to connect and we’re excited to share your story and insights with our audience. There’s a ton to learn from your story, but let’s start with a warm up before we get into the heart of the interview. What is a normal day like for you right now?
Normal day for me starts around 6:30 AM when I have to take my kids to school breakfast and making sure everybody has their stuff before the day starts. Cook breakfast and out the door by 745 to make sure we’re at school by 8:30. After that, I am on my way to work usually stop by to get a coffee something to help awaken my morning and my first appointment starts at 11 AM and the day might not end till 11 PM. Braid braid braid braid.
Can you briefly introduce yourself and share what makes you or your brand unique?
I am a master hair braider. The name of my business is called KOLORBLIND SD. I specialize in braiding all hair types and also adding crazy bright colors.. I am working on making sure to provide a hair salon that can do all hair types and all braid styles
Okay, so here’s a deep one: Who saw you clearly before you could see yourself?
I have a good friend who would always remind me of how powerful I was even when I couldn’t see it. She always reminded me I was a boss and that there was nothing I couldn’t have in this life.
What fear has held you back the most in your life?
I think the fear of doubt and failure were my biggest ones. They almost crippled me because I was always worried of what if . Never took gambles and was very scared of taking chances since I was a new mom at the time.
I think our readers would appreciate hearing more about your values and what you think matters in life and career, etc. So our next question is along those lines. What are the biggest lies your industry tells itself?
That all hair types can wear braids
Thank you so much for all of your openness so far. Maybe we can close with a future oriented question. When do you feel most at peace?
When I’m outside in the sun at the beach, yoga & earthing. Rollerskating with good music, when I’m able to just connect with myself.
