Hi, I'm Terra Harvell; founder, owner, CEO, and producer of a six-figure business did I mention I'm also a hairdresser? I've created a beauty empire from behind the chair, and guess what? You can too! Society tends to look down on hairstylists and doesn't see us as the business savvy individuals we are. This podcast is all about showing society and you, that you don't have to choose between being a hairstylist and a wealth builder. We can run a successful company even though ‘We're Just Hairdressers'. What can you expect? I'll be interviewing leading experts and celebrity hairstylists about all things money and growth because you can be a hairdresser and a wealth builder, too.
