We had the good fortune of connecting with Lakeisha Kindred and we’ve shared our conversation below.
Hi Lakeisha, looking back, what do you think was the most difficult decision you’ve had to make?
One of the most difficult decisions I had to make was closing my 2nd salon down during the pandemic. This was a salon that I had maybe a year before the pandemic hit & I had to shut it down & I was devastated . I shut my salon down & looked all over for another salon but I could never find one. The reason I couldn’t find one is because the Lord had bigger plans for me. I ended up finding a bus & I started a Mobile Hair company called, EE Express . You can order hair, wigs , and products on my website and I’ll deliver it to your front door, job , school or hair appointment!
Alright, so for those in our community who might not be familiar with your business, can you tell us more?
I have a mobile hair bus that delivers luxury hair plus more to your front door ! I am proud of the brand that I’ve build up and how I’m able to adapt to any situation. I feel that by me having a MOBILE HAIR BUS that alone sets me apart from any other person selling hair ! I got where I am today with God and hard work! It definitely was not easy because anything worth having is a Process and I think I’ve seen it all
Good & bad! I’ve learned to keep God first ,stay humble and give when you can! I just want everyone to know what if you can dream it you can accomplish it ! Stay consistent & stay motivated !
If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
Ok if I had friends in town for a week these are the places we would visit . Monday we would visit Twillie Philly food truck for lunch , they have a food truck with really good food!
Tuesday we would have taco Tuesday at Mint Juliep, they have the best Birria tacos .
Wednesday we would definitely go to the hookah lounge, Smoking Aces !
Thursday we are eating at Marco’s Chicken & Waffles. They have the best turkey neck pots every Thursday !
Friday we will go to Fairly Wings downtown. They have great wings and amazing drinks !
Saturday night we would go town down to Nostalgia Lounge & Bar .
Sunday we would go to “The Spot” to chill and watch the game !
Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
I want to dedicate my shout out to my daughter, Rae Leigh . I chose her because she motivates me in ways that she doesn’t know .
