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

Hi Kiara, we’d love to hear more about how you thought about starting your own business?
I come from a family of entrepreneurs, so initially the thought process was just be my own boss in my field of choice. I knew for sure that I didn’t want a typical 9 to 5.

What should our readers know about your business?
KBK Beauty offers mobile Spa & Beauty Services, as well as Cosmetic Beauty supplies and products. I’m most proud of and excited about continuing to see my business grow and reach new heights. This was not an easy journey at all, I’ve had some really tough times but its been worth it. The way I’ve overcome most of these challenges, is by remaining grateful and knowing that life isn’t happening to me ,but for me. Its important to be able to shift your perspective so that you can see the bigger picture. I’ve learned to take the good with the bad, and to keep my mind focus on the purpose not the accolades. I want people to know that you can achieve anything in this world if you put your mind to it. I want KBK Beauty to remind people about the importance of self love & care.

If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
There’s so many places to go and great food to eat in GA. My two Favorites places right now are Just Brunch & Parkside District both located in Gwinnett County. The food and atmosphere of these two restaurants are amazing. Then I would schedule some fun activities like: indoor skydiving, ATV and horseback riding. I could go on , there’s so much to do in and out of the city.

Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
I’d like to shout out all the entrepreneurs and small business owners! I’m always inspired and motivated by seeing people work on themselves and their craft.
