Michelle Obama's hairstylist and entrepreneur Yene Damtew is in the guest chair sharing her amazing side hustle journey. ⠀
Hear how her side hustle led to a full-time job as Michelle Obama's hairstylist AND opening her own salon Aesthetics Salon
What I admire most about Yene is her commitment to going back to college and completing her business degree, despite already having amazing experience, mentorships, and clientele.⠀
Today, she is a mentor to other salon business owners learning how to navigate the industry, run the operations, and turn a talent into a sustainable business and career.
