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

Hi Lakera, what’s the most important lesson your business/career has taught you?
The most important lesson I’ve been taught is to stay humble and work hard. Work hard for what you want and even when you feel like your working too much, work hard . Accomplishing goals is the key. Owning and maintaining a business isn’t always easy, there are going to be some bumps in the road. But always remember to keep it pushing , because hard work pays off.

What should our readers know about your business?
My brand “PrettiHairCo” is who I am . It represents me. I’m a person that has always had high self esteem about myself , I consider myself “pretti” and when someone comes to me and get services, they are going to the same way when my services are complete. That’s what makes me different from others , I’m going to always give my clients that ego boost .I’m going to be that stylist to uplift the next. Everyday I promote my business because it’s never enough promoting . If you want people to know who you are and what you stand for, promote and stand behind your business . Put it in peoples faces that you mean business and stand behind your business 100%. It can be one hundred and one people doing the same thing as you . But no one is doing it like you . Being a business owner isn’t an easy job and if you don’t motivate yourself to want to to better and be a better business person then it’s going to be tough . I’ve had challenges come such as income but learning how to maintain and manage money helped out a lot . It takes a lot of hard work and dedication.

If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
Magic City is always a lit spot to go for nightlife , it’s actually my fave in the city . Followed by some King Krabs in Sunday’s with great music and seafood.
