Kiera is the owner of Kiera Ann Esthetics in Onarga.  Kiera described her business to the students as a day spa that provides anti-aging facials and waxing, brow, and lash services.<br /> Kiera stated that she completed 750 hours of schooling at Tricoci University of Beauty Culture.  She then took a state test to become a licensed esthetician.  Her profession requires her to complete continuing education hours to keep her license current.<br /> Kiera finished her schooling when COVID ended.  This made it especially difficult for her to find a job.  She tried to stay positive.  She began providing waxing and lash services to her friends and family.  For Christmas and birthdays, she asked her family members to gift her specific work-related equipment and products.  She used a government stimulus check to purchase additional items she needed.<br /> In 2021, she felt she was ready and took a big step forward by announcing to the public through social media that she was officially open for business.  From 2021-23, she operated her business from her home.  She admitted this wasn’t ideal because every time a client came to her home, she felt the need to totally clean the house and put her dog away.  This arrangement was not sustainable.<br /> Kiera began looking for a place to rent.  Through a friend, she became aware of space in Onarga’s business district and soon began renting from Kathy Northcott.  She hired a contractor to create a room in her rented space.  She’s very proud of the fact that she’s been at that location for two years.<br /> In regard to utilizing social media, Kiera encouraged the students to carefully choose their fonts and colors.  She told them that as a sole proprietor, they ARE the brand. Her use of social media and her customers’ word-of-mouth advertising has led her to acquire 40 regular clients, as well as other clients who come in prior to special occasions.  Kiera’s biggest joy comes from the relationships she has developed with her clients.  She has, unfortunately, had to “fire” a few clients who regularly cancelled their appointments at the last minute or were no-shows.<br /> When Kiera was asked why she chose to use her personal name as her business name, she laughed and said it was because she couldn’t come up with something clever.  She noted that if Chat GPT were available at the time, she would have utilized it to help with her naming dilemma!<br /> Kiera and the owner of a local massage salon have successfully cross-promoted their businesses by hosting Valentine’s Day and Halloween spa parties.  Kiera is a strong believer in “community over competition” and encouraged the students to understand why this is important.<br /> Kiera utilizes the platform, Square.  Square is integrated into her business website.  It provides her with the ability to accept charge payments and summarizes her revenue, most popular services, number of clients served, number of services provided, and the frequency of client visits.<br /> Kiera told the class that she never uses products on her clients that she hasn’t fallen in love with herself.  She is concerned how tariffs could affect the price of her supplies.  She is striving to keep her prices reasonable.  She thinks she is making strides in finding a work-life balance.<br /> Thanks so much Kiera!  The Entrepreneurs appreciate your wise advice and wish you continued success!</div></div>
