Sola Salon Studios
This episode is all about how one of our 2021 Faces of Sola went from self-doubt to success and doubling her income seemingly overnight. Ashlie Garner from Ashlie Ann Hair is a self-proclaimed “education junkie” and is a true testament to the freedom and opportunities Sola has to offer. Ashlie not only runs her own business, but also offers education courses with even more in the works.
In today’s episode, Ashlie shares her inspiring and relatable journey. She tells her story and how once she believed in herself, she realized that she is worthy of her success. As someone so passionate about education, Ashlie has the drive to help others create their own success through Sola, and is on a mission to guide them on the path to loving and believing in themselves. And even if you don’t feel 100% ready to face whatever obstacle is in front of you, Ashlie encourages listeners to just do it - even if you have to do it scared.
