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

Hi LaNaja, how has your work-life balance changed over time?
This is a very important question to me. Balance has to be one of the most complicated things when it comes to being a business owner. I still don’t believe I have finally managed it because sometimes I do feel like I’m still all over the place. It’s all about being strict with yourself, knowing your limits. You have to sit down and take time to yourself. It’s all about figuring out what days deserve your business and what days strictly just deserve you and your self care time.

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.
I am a Hair Stylist but I am mostly known for being a Wig Specialist and that’s more of the title I lean on. We all have to start from somewhere and I was not the best when I first started. My passion grew for what I do when I started getting better and I seen how women would just transform right in my chair and some women have even shed a few tears. I think what sets me apart is that it isn’t just about the money for me. I want to give every woman that extra confidence when they come sit in my chair and I want to be able to ship the most amazing wigs to all of my customers so that when anyone stops them in public their compliments are nothing short than amazing. That’s my biggest goal! I feel like the bad moments in my business have taught me the most, such as being considerate of other people’s time and constantly communicating. It’s amazing how much we all require reassurance even when it comes to making sure your order is going to arrive to you.

If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
I am such a exploring kind of person. I would definitely take my friend to the aquarium or the zoo. I love food and anyone who hangs around me does as well so it definitely wouldn’t be hard to find a good spot to just feast!

Shoutout is all about shouting out others who you feel deserve additional recognition and exposure. Who would you like to shoutout?
My parents have always been a great help with their encouragement. I have met some of the most amazing people along this journey of being a Entrepreneur. I got the most inspiration working with the most phenomenal woman I have met in this lifetime Ms. Brandy Kennedy. He drive, he ambition, the way she be a Mom and a rocking Entrepreneur is so amazing to me because that’s what I aspire to do. I want to be able to take a hold of my business and still give my son the best life ever not even materialistic but memories.
