Meet Kye Williams | Spa Owner , Salon Suites Owner + Influencer

We had the good fortune of connecting with Kye Williams and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Kye, can you walk us through the thought-process of starting your business?
Honestly, my initial thought was how to make money. I was born and raised in a city with endless possibilities (New York) but for some reason entrepreneurship wasn’t heavily promoted in my community. Preparing for a steady career was. My goal was always how to make sure I take the proper steps to secure my career so I could be financially stable. It wasn’t until migrating to Atlanta, that I was broken into a rich black entrepreneurial community that inspired me to make money at a different scale. It wasn’t until I was deep into it, that I realized my brand had a larger purpose . I truly feel like I was aligned with this path before even knowing it.

Can you open up a bit about your work and career? We’re big fans and we’d love for our community to learn more about your work.
It’s always weird describing my brand because it started off at one thing and merged into another. I currently own a multi suite salon/spa called Sipping Prettea Suites that I’ve opened to other talented beauty professionals to service

It’s a bigger picture to my baby Sipping Prettea Tea Bar which is the tea infused beauty bar I founded in 2018. We are a vegan + cruelty free brand with a result driven purpose.

I’m now using my knowledge of beauty and professionalism in the industry to pave my way as a Brand Influencer.

Through this journey, this constantly wavering journey, I’ve learned that I can literally tackle everything. I know because I’ve experienced every possible let down and failure within my business journey and I overcame it.

Let’s say your best friend was visiting the area and you wanted to show them the best time ever. Where would you take them? Give us a little itinerary – say it was a week long trip, where would you eat, drink, visit, hang out, etc.
Well first off, if anyone is in the city, they need to stop by Sipping Prettea Tea Bar + Suites. We’re quickly becoming a one stop service shop for self care needs and we give VIBE. The setting is Pinterest worthy and we offer the best hand blended hibiscus mimosas you’ll ever taste in your life.

Now back to scheduled programming. I’m a foodie and would suggest:
1. BQE
2. Atlanta Breakfast Club
3. South City

&The BBQ truck that post up over on Glenwood and Flat Shoals

The Shoutout series is all about recognizing that our success and where we are in life is at least somewhat thanks to the efforts, support, mentorship, love and encouragement of others. So is there someone that you want to dedicate your shoutout to?
My Shoutout is to my support system; my mother, my nana, + Cameron

As a mother of two white no financial backing or direction for my business idea, having a village to assist in all arenas has been game changing.
