SEARCHIn this short video, Steven Wren--a Faces of Sola Salon Studios Ambassador and a Wahl Platform Artist--talks to us about how his career took him to being his own boss, inside his shop.
Steve Wren was chosen as a MODERN SALON 100 Honoree because he exemplifies the mission of MODERN--to uplift the industry.
Being your own boss can offer autonomy and control: you can set your own goals, make your own schedule, and decide how to run your business. This is what attracts many beauty professionals to start a mobile business, a bridal company, or to start seeing clients inside a salon or suite.
For stylist, barber, educator and entrepreneur, Steven Wren (@mrwrencuts), it was the natural progression of his career--and he has never looked back.
Wren, who is a Faces of Sola Ambassador, a Wahl Platform Artist, and an inspiring speaker, will be opening our MODERN SALON Independent Boot Camp in Miami on May 22. This event is focused on the solopreneur, but the business-building panels and expert speakers on stage will be sharing stories and strategies that apply to any artist, no matter where or how you work.
In this interview, Wren speaks with MODERN SALON's Anne Moratto about his journey to independence.
