KNW Hair Care
Heaven on Earth was getting too small for Kerry-Ann. The busy beauty salon had outgrown its small Central Avenue storefront, and Kerry-Ann knew that if she wanted to take her business to the next level, she needed to move into a larger space.
When Kerry-Ann opened Heaven on Earth Beauty Salon in Albany in 2004, she had room to maneuver. Now, however, customers were overrunning the waiting area on busy days and sitting in stylists' chairs. Since Kerry-Ann has no separate workspace, all the business of the salon was done in the open. She also wanted to be able to hire additional stylists, but didn't have enough room. "The reasons for the expansion [were] so that I could run a business more efficiently and also bring in more people," Kerry-Ann says.
Deciding when to take your business to the next level can be a make-or-break decision for many small business owners. Whether it's taking a larger space or hiring more employees, providing benefits or launching a new product, the next move usually requires significant investment and research. And like everything else, timing is critical.
TAKING IT TO THE NEXT LEVEL
When Kerry-Ann dropped out of school at sixteen, she never dreamed that one day she'd own her own business, and yet here she is the proud owner of Heaven on Earth, a thriving business on Albany's Central Avenue.
Now, after eight years in business, she's making plans to move into a larger salon at a prime location down the street. Kerry-Ann was featured in the Times Union "There's room to grow," she says. "Where I am right now, if I grow, we're going to bust," she says, adding that she will hire two new employees, and be able to provide a more relaxed, spa-like experience for her clients. "A larger location will give our customers more in the way of ambiance," she says.
"Kerry-Ann is a great example of a visionary business woman, who has the desire and work ethic to create a successful business," says Anthony Capece, Executive Director for the Central BID.
The new Heaven on Earth Beauty Salon will host a grand opening celebration on February 6, at 1 p.m. at their new location at 330 Central Avenue in Albany.
