HAIRGOALS - A magical journey from dream to reality!
We all know Anna through her professional activity and through what she shares with us through social media. But few are those who know her story, her dreams and her journey.
In this revealing interview she shares with us many of her personal experiences, the sacrifices she made to get here, her experiences and her goals for the future.
The reason she is here is to make women happy, glowing and confident.
But let's take things from the beginning.
Her passion for hairdressing existed since she was still a child, where she worked in the hairdressing salons of her neighborhood as an unpaid assistant!!!
In fact, it all started when she was 17.5 years old with the Greek Fashion Week. She went as an assistant to the manager and doors were opened for her.
At 22, while working as a salon manager with very good pay, she quit despite everyone's resistance, because she didn't want there to be a limit to what she was doing, she believed and believes in herself and she considers that very important.
She built the basement in her house, lived in it and turned it into a hair salon and took in people from all over.
He worked very hard, maybe 18 hours a day, seven days a week. He went everywhere, there were no limits. For two years she worked in the basement alone.
\'\'\'ALONE YOU GO TO A POINT, WITH COMPANY YOU GO FARTHER.\'\'
So she thought and got the idea to open her own business.
In December he decided and started looking for a shop. In May he found it and in July he started to design the space as he had imagined it. By October, she was ready to get started!
On the first day she was mowed in her own organized space, there were mixed feelings of joy and fear that were quickly overcome, until.... 4 months later comes COVID. She didn't know how she could survive. He didn't give up though, he started doing door to door product deliveries.
\'\'It takes madness, it doesn't take logic and you have to believe in yourself.\'\'
In the 2nd COVID he was already in the process of doing the e-shop, which so far is going very well.
Whatever she makes she invests. \'\'You don't start a business with only the idea of making money.
You start with love and you invest with love.
We invest in our business through seminars, products, facilities, etc.
We are here to evolve.
Along with me, I want the people I have next to me to evolve.
When I opened the shop I was called by a Greek designer to go to Paris Fashion Week to do her hair and the expenses would be all mine.
With expenses running up because of the shop I did it.
I even stayed in a hostel, tightened up, walked around, and what I got in the end was much bigger than what I gave.\'\'
So she stayed for 3.5 years and started thinking about opening a second store, but something in her mind didn't fit, so she started looking for a bigger store to put in the e-shop.
Although the very idea scared her, she said: \’\we got it.\’\’
And so it went from 40 square meters to 220 square meters with 9 staff.
The new store opened on 3/21/2023 and is going better and better.
\'\'I have put my soul in there, as I have done in every step of my life.
But this shop in particular screams all ANNA.
My vision was to open a shop and have it remind me of summer. And I succeeded.
Behind all this wonderful talk about how just because my priority is my work, I've been through a lot of pain.
I retrieved at Decide through quarantine. At a challenging time in my life I found the relationship seminar felt like this is where I belonged now. And I have finally been helped on all levels. I feel more confident now.
I go out on the street, I go somewhere and people stop me, recognize me and want to come to the store for me. That's a top situation, not a moment.
One of its purposes is beyond personal branding to do corporate branding.
Of course she has other goals besides hairdressing.
How our now favourite hairgoalsbyαnna was born ??
The idea came to her in her sleep without even becoming a trend yet and she said: \’\’THIS IS IT!!!\’\’
Of course, as you can imagine, there are many moments that he can remember with a smile and emotion.
\'\'I had a very good client whom I personally served on an almost daily basis with such a somewhat demanding and long hair... So I go one time and I forgot my detangling brush and I have a key ring sized brush in my bag and I detangled ALL her hair with it. The hair though. It's the result that counts. If you put humor into it it gets saved.
As well as in the early days in seminars I had my mum giving her a 3.5 hour haircut.
My parents are now VERY PROUD OF ME. Because when I was young I took it very hard, there was no psychological support, even though I needed it, I wanted to have someone to feel like they were holding my hand to say go, I'm here for you.
To the people listening to me, I want to say GO AHEAD, take the first step, don't be afraid and you'll see it all come by magic. And you'll go high.
Taking a step back is legitimate and it's okay, but that's about it. See what you have achieved, what you have to do, what you want ,with wisdom and purpose.
You need to take steady steps upwards. And don't overdo it!!!!
I DONT ACCEPT IT !!
