2:26
SPEAKER_01: So it's, you know, it's quiet for me.
2:28
SPEAKER_02: And then having a business though, in Vallejo, it'd probably be better than Oakland or you think that it's cheaper.
2:34
SPEAKER_02: Like renting in Vallejo.
2:35
SPEAKER_02: It's the same prices.
2:37
SPEAKER_01: Well, it might be a little expensive in um Oakland.
2:39
SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
2:40
SPEAKER_01: But it's pretty much the it's the same.
2:42
SPEAKER_02: Oh, okay.
2:43
SPEAKER_02: Because I'm like, girl, Vallejo, we have to.
2:46
SPEAKER_01: You just gotta, when you go, um, you know, when you go shopping for your where you want your place of business at, you gotta just see what you're trying to spend.
2:54
SPEAKER_02: Oh, okay.
2:54
SPEAKER_01: So yeah.
2:55
SPEAKER_02: So, oh, so how do you do that?
2:57
SPEAKER_02: Like, what do you mean?
2:58
SPEAKER_02: So you put a budget and say if it's like 3,000 or 4,000 or whatever the budget is, that's how you start searching for your location.
3:06
SPEAKER_01: It's just like people think that it's more than what it is, but it really, it's really not.

SPEAKER_01: Now now it's different from buying and you know, renting.
3:25
SPEAKER_01: I'm renting right now.
3:26
SPEAKER_01: So it's just like when you, you know, buying a getting a home, renting a home.
3:30
SPEAKER_02: Oh, okay, that's cool.
3:32
SPEAKER_02: And then if you're renting for both of them, you can just put that price because you're not renting to own.
3:39
SPEAKER_02: You're just renting them, right?
3:40
SPEAKER_02: And then after the lease is over, you're done.
3:42

4:44
SPEAKER_02: Yes, girl.
4:44
SPEAKER_02: And I really appreciate you because like I told you, that is a far drive.
4:47
SPEAKER_02: And girl, gas is not cheap.
4:49
SPEAKER_02: And I know what it is, because shit, gas was like$5.
4:52
SPEAKER_02: Now it's$20.
4:53
SPEAKER_02: That's just what it is.
4:54
SPEAKER_05: It is.
4:55
SPEAKER_02: And I was gonna say, so what schools did you attend?
4:59
SPEAKER_02: Have you gone to a school for like Braden or anything?
5:01
SPEAKER_02: Or just have you been to college or what schools?
5:04
SPEAKER_01: Okay, so um, I went to for for college, I went to a community college, Alameda Beauty College, um, downtown Oakland.
5:10
SPEAKER_01: Oh, okay.
5:11
SPEAKER_01: I did like a year there.
5:12
SPEAKER_01: Um, and then I transferred over to um, I said um I went to Laney, right?
5:18
SPEAKER_01: No, nope, you went to Alameda first and then.
5:20
SPEAKER_01: Oh, okay, so let me sell it.
5:21
SPEAKER_01: I went to Laney College first for a year.
5:24
SPEAKER_01: Uh-huh.
5:24
SPEAKER_01: And I transferred over to Alameda Beauty College, and that's where I graduated from.
5:27
SPEAKER_02: Okay, my sister, and y'all, that's crazy, because I have a sister named Danielle too, and she does hair.
5:32
SPEAKER_02: So shout out to the Danielles and shout out to all of them that do hair, okay?
5:36
SPEAKER_02: Because she went to those same schools and she did the same thing that you did.
5:40
SPEAKER_02: Do you recommend that for people?
5:42
SPEAKER_01: So I recommend, um, because this is where I made my mistake.
5:46
SPEAKER_01: I went to, when I went to Laney, I did um, because it's two years, it's a two-year program.
5:51
SPEAKER_00: Okay.
5:52
SPEAKER_01: So I did one year there, but I I think the smart thing was for me to stay at Laney instead of transferring.
5:57
SPEAKER_01: Somebody told me that I would get finished earlier if I go to Alameda Beauty, because it's only uh what, 10, 10 months?
6:03
SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
6:04
SPEAKER_01: But I wish I would have stayed at Laney because I learned more there.
6:07
SPEAKER_01: And I um, you know, you get, you know, you get the financial aid and stuff like that.
6:11
SPEAKER_01: But I took out a loan for uh Alameda.
6:14
SPEAKER_02: Alameda, the um one in um, well, the Alameda Beauty College, because I go there and it's in Alameda.
6:18
SPEAKER_02: Uh-huh.
6:19
SPEAKER_02: I used to go there and get my hair flat ironed because it's the students, right?
6:22
SPEAKER_02: And then they just flat earn it, comb it, cut it.
6:24
SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
6:24
SPEAKER_02: So basically, you were saying, so you went to the second one, and the second one kind of just put you more in debt when you could have just learned everything with the first one.
6:32
SPEAKER_02: And they don't tell you that.
6:33
SPEAKER_01: So who And I learned more at Laney than I learned at Alameda.
6:37
SPEAKER_02: So who recommended the second school?
6:39
SPEAKER_01: Uh, I had a cousin that went to Alameda.
6:42
SPEAKER_02: Yeah, we're gonna beat that cousin ass, all right?
6:45
SPEAKER_01: She's cool.
6:46
SPEAKER_01: Don't do it like that.
6:50
SPEAKER_01: Okay.
6:50
SPEAKER_00: Yes.
6:51
SPEAKER_01: I mean, it was all work that I, you know, I was able to graduate and everything.
6:54
SPEAKER_01: You know, I found, I mean, it was some teachers there that um, you know, didn't help me, but it was some, you know, of my favorite ones that helped out.
7:02
SPEAKER_01: But I put really it wasn't the teachers, I pushed myself through.
7:05

SPEAKER_02: Why kids over the adults?
12:52
SPEAKER_01: Well, they okay, people say people say kids is way harder, but no, dealing with an adult, for me, dealing with adult is way harder.

13:40
SPEAKER_01: Oh, okay.
13:40
SPEAKER_01: So I was throwing pamper parties and stuff for the kids, but that was kind of moving kind of slow.
13:46

13:49
SPEAKER_02: And then your pamper parties, like, what is that?
13:51

13:53
SPEAKER_01: Spy like, you know, the city.

14:15
SPEAKER_02: You like, baby, I like to make the kids feel good.
14:18

14:25
SPEAKER_02: Uh-huh.
14:25
SPEAKER_01: And you gotta think about it too.
14:27
SPEAKER_01: Everybody, um, it's a good business because you know, parents gonna go get they're gonna get their kids' hair done.
14:32
SPEAKER_01: They're gonna put it to their kids.
14:34
SPEAKER_01: So that would always be uh something for me.

SPEAKER_02: And sometimes it brings you even stronger with the person or it make you know what your purpose is.
29:31
SPEAKER_02: And your purpose is with the kids.
29:33
SPEAKER_02: And that's what you're doing with the kids, and I love it because I'm gonna say it gave me a push, though.

29:41
SPEAKER_02: And you're doing it.
29:42
SPEAKER_02: And I love it.
29:43
SPEAKER_02: Because I told you, I seen the page, and I'm gonna make sure, like we told y'all we're gonna tag it because my daughter, um, we was going through it, and it gave us tips on breakage.
29:53
SPEAKER_02: It gives you tips on like how to just put your hair up and moisturize it.
29:58
SPEAKER_02: So that's why I'm like you teaching people how to be confident because if your hair is not good, you're not good.
30:04
SPEAKER_02: Trust me.
30:05
SPEAKER_02: That's why I didn't want to do visual.
30:07
SPEAKER_02: These little weeds be still nappy, okay, baby.
30:10
SPEAKER_02: But you give confidence to where if I can get your hair good and growing, you could just wear it like you'll be.
30:16
SPEAKER_01: I'm all about, yeah.
30:17
SPEAKER_02: We can tell, girl.
30:18
SPEAKER_02: Look at your hair over there.
30:19
SPEAKER_01: Okay, girl, we can tell.
30:21
SPEAKER_01: I love it.
30:22
SPEAKER_01: My daughter, my my daughter, I had my daughter hair down her back.
30:26
SPEAKER_04: Mm-hmm.
30:27
SPEAKER_01: But she doesn't like hair.
30:29
SPEAKER_01: Everybody.
30:29
SPEAKER_01: Does she braid?
30:31
SPEAKER_01: I had to, I taught her how to braid just in case.
30:33
SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
30:34
SPEAKER_01: I had her come to my workshop.
30:36
SPEAKER_01: She don't have, she don't, like, truth be told, she don't like nothing to do with hair.
30:39
SPEAKER_01: Oh my god.
30:41
SPEAKER_01: I feel like that's because um I had her like, you know, she was coming to beauty school with me.
30:47
SPEAKER_01: She was, she was my hair model.
30:49
SPEAKER_01: She was she tied, and then she was saying that um everybody asked her, like, uh, can I have, you know how they go?
30:55
SPEAKER_01: Can I have your hair?
30:57
SPEAKER_02: Or um Who done your hair?
30:59
SPEAKER_02: Or I wish my hair was like.
31:00
SPEAKER_01: She don't want to be known for her hair.
31:01
SPEAKER_01: That's what she said.
31:02
SPEAKER_01: She don't want to be known for her hair.
31:03
SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
31:04
SPEAKER_01: So I let her branch off and do what she wanted to do.
31:07
SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
31:08
SPEAKER_02: And it's like it's so crazy because it's more kids to be like my mother.
31:11
SPEAKER_02: I'm coming at two o'clock to get my hair done.
31:14
SPEAKER_01: She cut her hair and then she wants her own lane.
31:16
SPEAKER_01: Because you know how they think that because I do hair, then that's what she's gonna do.
31:20
SPEAKER_01: I made her learn all the business, because um, if something ever happened to me, I want her to be able to um take over.
31:27
SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
31:27
SPEAKER_01: I want her to be able to know something.
31:29
SPEAKER_01: Exactly.
31:30
SPEAKER_01: If you know she's getting ready to go to college and stuff like that, like that can help her out.
31:34
SPEAKER_01: Like, you know.
31:35
SPEAKER_02: Yeah, because even if she's not doing the hair, like you said, you can still have people in the booth that you can still have people at least manage.
31:41
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, manage.
31:44
SPEAKER_02: See, and then there's people out there, so if y'all don't know how to do it, you can manage it.
31:48
SPEAKER_02: You just gotta learn, you gotta get with the right people and learn.
31:50
SPEAKER_01: And that part too, you gotta, you gotta, when you're trying to manage, you gotta, because some people think they could just open up a shop and then just manage.
31:57
SPEAKER_01: But no, you gotta put the footwork in.
31:59
SPEAKER_01: You gotta know, you gotta know the inside and the outside of it.
32:02
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, so that's why.
32:03
SPEAKER_01: Um, because I did think like, oh, maybe I could just um just open up a shop and then back up and just let, you know, just rent out chairs and stuff.
32:11
SPEAKER_01: But it don't work like that.
32:12
SPEAKER_01: Like your business is not gonna go nowhere.
32:13
SPEAKER_01: You gotta actually be there.
32:14
SPEAKER_01: You gotta show your face.
32:16
SPEAKER_01: You gotta, yeah, you gotta put the work in the work in.

32:26
SPEAKER_05: Mm-hmm.
32:27
SPEAKER_02: Okay, I like that.
32:28
SPEAKER_02: And I was gonna say, like, how do you get me time out of all of this?
32:33
SPEAKER_02: Because you said the kids.

34:08
SPEAKER_02: Okay, baby.
34:09
SPEAKER_01: And that's my thing too.
34:10
SPEAKER_01: When I that's my whole, that's why um me talking to people or dealing with people, because they take my what I, you know, how I talk very strong and very like I'm Yeah, they thinking that you're aggressive with it.
34:21
SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
34:21
SPEAKER_01: But see, but really I'm just saying what's on my heart, what I feel.
34:24
SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
34:25
SPEAKER_02: So okay, sorry.
34:26
SPEAKER_02: Yeah, no, I um understand that because I'm like, my mom, that's crazy because she does that and she says how it is, and that's just what it is.
34:36
SPEAKER_02: And like you say, people can mischroute that and think that you're coming at them or attacking them.
34:40
SPEAKER_02: But it's like, no, if you're messing up or whatever it is, you just gonna give it to them.
34:44
SPEAKER_01: See, you know.

34:47
SPEAKER_02: Yeah, I know how to deal with you guys.
34:48
SPEAKER_02: I do.
34:49
SPEAKER_02: That's why I was like, that's why people don't understand my bluntness.
34:52
SPEAKER_02: You know, I'm a Virgo, so I'm right behind you.
34:55
SPEAKER_01: I don't mean nothing by it.
34:56
SPEAKER_01: I'm just saying like what I, you know.
34:59
SPEAKER_01: That's just what it is.
35:00
SPEAKER_01: So now I just try to think before I like how she's gonna feel it or how they're gonna feel if I say it like this.
35:08
SPEAKER_01: So I try to re-rethink and read.
35:11
SPEAKER_02: And nope, girl, and I used to do the same stuff.
35:13
SPEAKER_02: Hold on, I'm gonna turn this off because I don't want it to go back off.
35:15
SPEAKER_02: Sorry about that.
35:16
SPEAKER_02: But um, no, I used to do the same thing, but what you end up doing is you end up dummying yourself down.
35:21
SPEAKER_01: And that's what I feel.
35:22
SPEAKER_01: That's what I do.
35:23
SPEAKER_01: That's what I feel.
35:24
SPEAKER_01: And I'll be, yeah.
35:25
SPEAKER_02: Girl, sorry, I'm just turning this off, you guys.
35:27
SPEAKER_02: You can go ahead and keep talking, girl.
35:28
SPEAKER_02: I just turned it off because I don't want us to be anti-cause that's how I feel.
35:31
SPEAKER_01: I feel like I'll be having to like.
35:32
SPEAKER_02: No, you will.
35:33
SPEAKER_02: And then at the end of the day, when you dumb yourself down, it's like you not being who you really need to be.
35:38
SPEAKER_02: Because you actually can be giving these people some good information or really saving their life, but you can't really do it because you're not.
35:50
SPEAKER_01: I saw that going on, I and I I know I should have said something, but I didn't because I was sparing the feelings.
35:56
SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
35:56
SPEAKER_01: So yeah.
35:57
SPEAKER_02: And that's why I'm by myself now.
36:00
SPEAKER_02: Because I used to do that.
36:01
SPEAKER_02: And then I started being like, I'm not sparing no more feelings.
36:04
SPEAKER_02: Because at the end of the year.
36:04
SPEAKER_01: And that's what I told myself this year, 2025, that I'm just gonna like, if you're gonna have a conversation with me, I'm gonna say what I gotta say.
36:10
SPEAKER_01: And I mean, it is what it is.
36:13
SPEAKER_01: You checking your goals off.
36:14
SPEAKER_02: Because look, girl, you on the podcast, girl.
36:16
SPEAKER_02: You telling people what it is.
36:18
SPEAKER_02: What is all 2025 because that's what it is at the end of the day.
36:22
SPEAKER_02: If you got a pure heart, you know you're not doing it to hurt them.
36:26
SPEAKER_02: I'm not, if I tell you what it is, I'm not doing it to hurt you.
36:29
SPEAKER_02: If you're taking it as hurt, then like you say, maybe I need to kind of back up from you a little bit, because I can't change who I am.
36:35
SPEAKER_02: But you're gonna deliver, you're gonna get this message though.
36:37
SPEAKER_02: Because this message is gonna come the same fucking way, whether you want to hear it or not.
36:41
SPEAKER_02: So, girl, like you say, we not doing it no more.
36:45
SPEAKER_02: Because I'm not doing it either.
36:46
SPEAKER_02: I had to learn that.
36:47
SPEAKER_01: You gotta be yourself, gotta bring yourself out.
36:49
SPEAKER_02: Yep.
36:49
SPEAKER_02: And if I'm offending you, I'm not trying to, but maybe we just need to separate.
36:54
SPEAKER_02: And it's not that I like to separate, but I'll try to solve a problem and see if we can fix it.
37:00
SPEAKER_02: But if I'm too harsh, or like you say, if I can't be who I really need to be because it's making you feel some way, I'm not gonna do that.
37:07
SPEAKER_02: I'm gonna have to go ahead and let you live your life now.
37:09
SPEAKER_02: Cause I'm about to live mine.
37:11
SPEAKER_02: You only get one.
37:13
SPEAKER_02: And people don't understand that.
37:14
SPEAKER_02: That's why I'm like, I'm happy that you were here and you were able to just tell people, you know, a little bit more about business and you know, just juggling the life with the kids and just what you just said right now, not being able to hold back no more.
37:29
SPEAKER_01: You gotta be strong.
37:30
SPEAKER_01: You gotta be strong to juggle it all.
37:34
SPEAKER_01: You gotta balance it out.
37:35
SPEAKER_01: Um, the question you said, how do I give me time?
37:38
SPEAKER_04: Mm-hmm.
37:39
SPEAKER_01: Um I actually use my when I'm doing hair and everything, that's my that's like my um my thing.
37:49

37:53
SPEAKER_01: Like that's my, I use that to that's therapy.
37:56
SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
37:56
SPEAKER_02: And it's probably other braiders and other people that do hair that can relate.
38:00
SPEAKER_01: When I'm I'm thinking, I'm I'm putting stuff together in my head.
38:03

51:32
SPEAKER_01: We do it at affordable um prices.
51:34
SPEAKER_01: People think that um that's one thing too.
51:37
SPEAKER_01: I want to talk about uh the pricing.
51:40
SPEAKER_01: Uh, they be like, Danielle, why you charge so, you know, like you don't charge as much.
51:45
SPEAKER_01: You don't, like you need to, because you know it's like a trend.
51:48
SPEAKER_01: You know, these people over here charging three or four hundred dollars for a kid's hair, but um, they gotta, I just feel like, okay, I understand, you know, the everything going up in the world and stuff like that, but it's like some people can't, uh, you know, some people can't pay that$300.
52:06
SPEAKER_01: I'm not about to go pay no$300 uh every two to three weeks for my kid hair.
52:10
SPEAKER_02: Like y'all gotta be reasonable, y'all.
52:11
SPEAKER_02: We in the hood.
52:12
SPEAKER_01: So, yeah.
52:13
SPEAKER_01: So I'm like I said, I make it affordable for them to come back every two to three weeks.
52:18
SPEAKER_01: And on top of that's gonna be a loyal client.
52:20
SPEAKER_01: Like to be, if you have a you know, affordable price for them and they range, they're gonna come back to you every two to three weeks, and then they're gonna bring more people.
52:27
SPEAKER_01: This is gonna be your client for a lifetime.
52:29
SPEAKER_01: You can have clients coming in and out and paying that three.
52:33
SPEAKER_01: They only gonna come, you only gonna see them what, once a month, or you ain't gonna see them that because no who's gonna pay that.
52:38
SPEAKER_01: Nobody's gonna pay that.
52:39
SPEAKER_01: Exactly.
52:40
SPEAKER_01: So I try to make my prices affordable so I can have a long, you know, a long loyal client to come back to me every two to three weeks.
52:47
SPEAKER_02: And that's why you do gotta.
52:49
SPEAKER_01: And that's how I started off.
52:50
SPEAKER_01: I started off at a certain price.
52:52
SPEAKER_01: I started off at a price to where, like, Danielle, what you gonna pay for your daughter?
52:56
SPEAKER_01: What you gonna pay for your daughter?
52:58
SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
52:58
SPEAKER_01: What you gonna um you you gonna go back every two to three weeks for what price?
53:02
SPEAKER_01: So that's how I came up with my um my prices and stuff for kids.
53:06
SPEAKER_01: I know they, you know, they kind of, it's not hard to me because I'm used to it, but a lot of people don't like doing kids' hair because of the tender head.
53:13
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, the um, you know, the whole little thing.
53:15
SPEAKER_02: And they cry and stuff.
53:16
SPEAKER_02: Uh-huh.
53:16
SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
53:17
SPEAKER_01: But this is that's why it's for me.
53:19
SPEAKER_01: It ain't for everybody.
53:20
SPEAKER_01: That's why it's for me.
53:21
SPEAKER_02: And it's been working for you.
53:22
SPEAKER_02: Because you've been doing it for how many years now?
53:24
SPEAKER_01: You said since since what this what I've been doing over 20 plus years.
53:29
SPEAKER_01: I've been I've been braiding here over 20 plus years, but I've been in business for nine years.
53:34
SPEAKER_02: So, period.
53:35
SPEAKER_01: Uh-huh.
53:35
SPEAKER_02: Your nine years speak volumes.
53:37
SPEAKER_02: Because what you're doing, it's a formula for it and it's working.
53:41
SPEAKER_01: And I get people, you know, trying to down my prices.
53:43
SPEAKER_01: Because you know, stylists they be, they, you know, they feel if your prices is, you know, a certain price, we put a damper on a um situation.
53:50
SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
53:51
SPEAKER_01: But I got, I mean, you gotta strategize.
53:53
SPEAKER_01: You gotta uh you gotta see what works and what don't work.
53:57
SPEAKER_01: And I feel like this worked for me and it's been working for me.
53:59
SPEAKER_01: So I'ma keep my prices where they at.
54:01
SPEAKER_01: I mean, I might raise it like, you know, every year or so to keep up with the economy.
54:06
SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
54:06
SPEAKER_01: But and could, you know, I still got bills and stuff at the end of the day.
54:10
SPEAKER_01: Exactly.
54:11
SPEAKER_01: Um, yeah.
54:11
SPEAKER_01: I'm I'm a like I'm you looking out for your people.
54:15
SPEAKER_01: It's a kid hair shop, affordable, so you can bring your kids every two to three weeks so they can look, you know, pampered, they can get pampered and look pretty and stuff like that.
54:23
SPEAKER_02: But they don't understand, like you say, when you people can always do stuff for the money, but when you're not doing it for the money, you're doing it for the love and the passion.
54:30
SPEAKER_02: It speaks values.
54:31
SPEAKER_02: That's why I told you you got nine years.
54:33
SPEAKER_01: That's how you get, that's how you get your um clients.
54:35
SPEAKER_02: And that's how you get your blessings.
54:37
SPEAKER_02: Because, like you said, you're able to be a realistic person.
54:40
SPEAKER_02: You're not gonna just go, like, of course, we're gonna make money, but you're not gonna go, let me go to the hood and give you$300 braids when you know dang well it's probably like less than$150.
54:51
SPEAKER_01: And then I I I mean, I be coming across some um people that charge three, you know, three something plus, but don't have no good customer service.
55:01
SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
55:01
SPEAKER_01: They be so rude and and late and you know, all the little stuff, but you you charging this much, but what is you giving that customer?
55:09
SPEAKER_01: What is you, you know, you giving them attitude and extra payments?
55:13
SPEAKER_02: Because I've been seeing that stuff on TikTok about them running out on prices and people charging$150 and canceling and just a whole like you said, I didn't stick with keys.
55:24
SPEAKER_01: You want you want your client to um to feel good about where they spend their money at?
55:28
SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
55:29
SPEAKER_02: So I love that.
