Have you been wondering what your henna career could look like one year out if you started today? In this episode of Hennapreneur, host Chelsea Stevenson is joined by two professional henna artists, Shawna Junior and Kate Blaubach to talk about their experiences early on in their careers and where their businesses are now.

Before going into the henna business, Shawna worked as a flight attendant, but she wanted a more flexible career. Initially, she started to work toward becoming a doula, but while doing that, she wanted to add additional services that would make pregnant women feel beautiful. This is how she found henna. Kate’s full time career in healthcare also kept her busy. She realized she could be putting the same effort into her own business. Both Shawna and Kate share that the keys to success were having a solid customer service foundation, finding the hennapreneur community, utilizing Chelsea’s accelerator class, being consistent, and believing in themselves.

Tune into this week’s episode of Hennapreneur for a conversation with host Chelsea Stevenson and special guests Shawna Junior and Kate Blaubach. Listen in as they share their individual journeys to becoming henna professionals and what they’ve been able to accomplish in a relatively short period of time.

Quotes

• “My whole plan was that Henna is just something for me to do until I go back to work. And then, when I was practicing, I felt like I was getting really good at it and I was liking it. And then the thought of me replacing my income with it started teasing me.” (11:37-11:51 | Shawna)

• “When I put in that hard work, and I put in that good work, I instantly see results. And so I just need to buckle down on being consistent. And I know, then my results will be consistent.” (42:04-42:18 | Kate)
