{A Hairstylist Branding Session in Algona, IA}

My niece has officially stepped into the world of entrepreneurship, as she opened her very owned hair and nail salon last week! As a fellow female business owner, I’m head-over-heels thrilled with this adventure she is embarking on! It’s completely fitting to photograph this beauty this week because a couple of days ago was National Hairstylist Appreciation Day. In my opinion, a branding photoshoot is the perfect way to celebrate!

Addi is no stranger to my camera as she was a CBS Senior Spokesmodel back in 2022! Now a little older, a little wiser but just as beautiful! Addi’s Chair offers hair cuts, colors, styles and updos, along with gel and acrylic manicures, makeup and waxing services. Her cute new salon is located at Bare Beauty Studios and she is currently booking as we speak! I’m obsessed with her modern and trendy style!

Addison – Congratulations on this incredible new chapter in your life! Opening your own salon is such a bold, inspiring move, and I couldn’t be more proud of you! It takes courage, vision, and a whole lot of passion to step out on your own—and you’ve got all of that and more. Remember, every great business starts with a dream and the determination to make it real. Trust me when I say, you will have no shortage of challenges, but believe in your talent, stay focused on your goals, and don’t forget how far you’ve already come. You’re creating something beautiful—not just for your clients, but for yourself and your future. Always know that I will be cheering you on every step of the way!
