Today we’d like to introduce you to Sandra Henry.
Hi Sandra, we’re thrilled to have a chance to learn your story today. So, before we get into specifics, maybe you can briefly walk us through how you got to where you are today.
My name is Sandra AKA TOOKIIE, I was born in CAP-HAITIAN and raised in Florida. From a young age, I just knew I was born to be a star. Being an immigrant from Haiti, I had to get adjusted to the ways of living in the States.
Life became very hard being a single BLACK mother of two but I was determined to make it. I’ve always had a passion for hair so I decided to go to school and pursue my career, within a year of graduating college I opened my first salon suite with the help and support of my wonderful husband Gregory. Within the next year, I opened a bigger suite that held 5 ladies. Amid hard work and dedication, I received an amazing opportunity from Sukihana to do her hair. I am forever thankful for my girl Suki because she has opened many doors for me.
I also appreciate my girl Shay Johnson as well for the amazing opportunity she has provided me with. Fast forward to today I am a full-service salon owner with 10 amazing ladies, social media influencer, podcast creator & YouTuber. I am also thankful to my friends and family for always being in my corner and believing in me. My advice to anyone that is trying to pursue their dreams is do not get distracted, do not look at what other people have & focus on you and God.
We all face challenges, but looking back would you describe it as a relatively smooth road?
The journey has not been easy, but I honestly wouldn’t change a thing. Cosmetology can be a long and challenging road.
Building my clientele’ was one of the hardest tasks that I had to do and of course the life of being a single mother of two I was so determined to make it I ended up in the hospital due to stress but that didn’t stop me it only made me stronger.
