Hi, I’m Aletta. I’m a business owner.

I used to be a solo entrepreneur. Now I’m learning how to build a business and a team.

Today I attended the Meant for More conference in Omaha, and one of my biggest takeaways had nothing to do with gaining a new client or making a sale.

It was simply about showing up.

I’m learning that networking isn’t always about an immediate return. Sometimes it’s meeting someone who may never patronize your business but will say your name in a room you’re not in. Sometimes it’s listening. Sometimes it’s sharing your story. And sometimes the win is simply walking into the room.

For a long time, I thought I needed to show up with everything figured out. The perfect answer. The big win. The polished version of entrepreneurship.

I don’t.

I’m 30+ years into this industry and still learning.

I’m learning how to delegate instead of carrying everything myself. How to trust my team to do what they’re good at. How to create boundaries even when everyone doesn’t like them. How to take all these ideas in my head and actually create systems around them.

And maybe most importantly, I’m learning that my journey doesn’t have to look like anyone else’s.

There is no perfect path.

I’ve spent a lot of time being the hairstylist who owned a salon. Now I’m learning what it means to lead a business that is becoming bigger than just me.

Salon. Spa. Barbershop. Studio. Community. Education. A team.

That requires a different Aletta.

So this is me reintroducing myself.

Hi, I’m Aletta Richardson.

I’m a hairstylist. I’m an entrepreneur. I’m a leader. I’m a community builder. I’m still figuring some s**t out.

And I’m a business owner.

Today was a win.

Shrinkage isn’t the enemy.

Sometimes after we give naturally curly hair the hydration it needs, those curls start to spring right back into place—and yes, that means SHRINKAGE.

Don’t be discouraged by it. That bounce and spring can be a beautiful sign that your curls are responding to the moisture they needed.

And when you’re ready to show off that length? That’s where a silk press comes in.

Because when hydrated, healthy curls are stretched and silk pressed… the shine speaks for itself.

Healthy curls first. Length when we want it.

Good brows really do change the whole face.

A Brow Wax + Tint is perfect when you want a little more definition without looking overly done. We clean up and shape the brows, then add a custom tint to enhance the hairs you already have—giving you a fuller, more polished look.

And the best part? Less filling them in every morning.

Protect your fresh brows at home:
• Keep them dry for the first 24 hours
• Avoid steam, heavy sweating and exfoliation for 24–48 hours
• Keep retinol and acids away from the brow area for a few days
• Cleanse gently and avoid scrubbing the brows
• SPF helps protect both your skin and your fresh tint

Natural. Defined. Low maintenance.

Brow Wax + Tint available at Zen Salon & Studio.
