Yesterday I had the pleasure of chatting with Tracy Wangari – an expert hairstylist and entrepreneur known for her extraordinary skill and good service. A Kenyan national, Tracy launched her Cape Town-based salon in 1999 and maintains a hands-on role in the now successful venture.

The salon is located in a busy shopping area near the University of Cape Town – a major source of business, she says.
Assisted by two employees, she proceeds to work on a client’s hair, transforming her in front of my eyes. I watch her intently, noticing the command and confidence – an aura that seems to communicate, “I am great at what I do. I help to make women look their best.”
The salon was started with very little capital, just enough to meet rent and buy basic equipment and products. Now her small business brings in profits close to R500,000 (about $42,000) a year.
