In this episode of Rooted and Rising, we sit down with Lorena Martinez (@lorena_thecolourbar), a visionary salon owner, author, and mentor whose journey from a Mexican immigrant to a thriving entrepreneur is nothing short of inspiring. Fresh out of cosmetology school, Lorena took a leap of faith—opening her own studio without a clear plan, just a bold vision. Now, 15 years later, she leads one of the most sought-after salons in the industry.
Join us as we dive into:
- The power of trusting your intuition and taking risks
- How Lorena built a salon culture that feels like home
- Setting boundaries and avoiding burnout in the beauty industry
- Lessons from her journey that every stylist and salon owner should hear
