Salon Luminous

Missy Bic always knew she wanted to run her own business, she just didn’t know what kind of business it would be. While finishing business classes, Missy worked at various salons as a hairstylist. So, when it did come time to be her own boss, it only made sense to run a hair salon. “I took a new adventure, a risky adventure,” says Missy, who opened Salon Luminous in 2014. “I’ve never really been on the business side of things. It’s been real good but it’s all a learning experience. The first year was a crazy year.”

Missy knew success wasn’t going to come easy. “I have had clients who owned their own businesses and they told me the first two years were going to be a struggle,” says Missy. “But I was ready to take on that struggle and see what is out there for me. Either it’s going to be a fail or the best decision I’ve made, but I’m willing to sacrifice for that.”
